OFF THE WIRE
Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S. Army.
He is the son of an Air Force General, and an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer,
and he graduated from Pomona College with a B.S. degree (summa cum laude,summa cum faster),
and then became a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University…(Blue in boxing there)
He was a member and played Rugby in the US for Claremont College Rugby Club.
He joined the U.S. Army at the prompting of his father.
After graduating from Officer Candidate School he attended and graduated from both Army
Airborne and Ranger training in the very top of each class.
He was selected for U. S. Army Special Forces Training but refused so that he could attend
pilot training where he earned his wings, and became an accomplished
U.S. Army helicopter (gun ship) pilot, and achieved the rank of Captain.
He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major, and appointed to teach at West Point
when he resigned his commission from the Army to go into music and acting.
You can tell in this video that his time in the military means a lot to him.
I won’t give away who it is. You should just watch. I bet you will be surprised!
