Sounds like he is. I guess Army but you will get some Jarheads and Sailors from Recon or Seals in that school too.He's in the military?!
That's cool if he is a fellow soldier. I just couldn't bring myself to jump out of an airplane. I'm surprised he wasn't at Ft.Sounds like he is. I guess Army but you will get some Jarheads and Sailors from Recon or Seals in that school too.
I have no clue what happened to him after he left the Niners.I'm surprised he wasn't at Ft.
Benning first or was he?

Wow!! I would have gone to to OCS. He could have done that without a 4 year degree.2LT Coffee or SPC Coffee?
He got his degree right?
edit: Apparently he is a PFC, so I don't think he completed his degree because you can enlist as an E-4 if you have a college degree from a 4-year institution.
It's going to be a shrinking military over the next few years. Every time that happens, standards go up. BTW, his dad was career, Air Force, I think...That was a quick change. I knew 2LTs that weren't finished with school and was trying their best to get me in but I wanted out ASAP. I had my associates at the time but I chose the civilian route.
Minor point, also the US military academies (which we know doesn't apply in this case).. The only route to commission these days is either a diploma + OCS or successful completion of ROTC with a degree on schedule. ..
Yeah it is shrinking huh... It's strange though I just got out in 2010 and the way things have chance since is crazy. It's been that way since 2002. Every year it was something different. I thought briefly about making it a career as an officer but my children came first. I couldn't do it to them. I commend Coffee on what he's doing. He's going from a feature back to not even a squad leader in the military. That takes patience that few have, especially in his situation. I know I couldn't have done that much less jump out a fully functional airplane. My drill SGT was a football player in college. He had no injuries or anything. He jumped only once and tore up his knee. He hasn't jumped since. Good dude though.It's going to be a shrinking military over the next few years. Every time that happens, standards go up.
