re: Met Armand Williams today
Posted by USArmyBR on 4/30/12 at 11:19 am to TigahFan4Life
At last year's Taste of Tiger Tailgating event, Armand and Josh Downs came and visited our Army Recruiting Booth for about 15 minutes. While they were having small talk with the recruiters, I became impressed with how well mannered, articulate, and respectful these young men were.
Just before they left, a younger white girl walks up with a much older white lady. The younger goes up to Downs and the older lady to Williams. Once they all left, I recall us all thinking it was an odd grouping. After reading article posted in the link, I recognize the older white lady in that photo as the lady who walked up to Armand. Great story and I wish him success both on and off the field.

Only if you include the cheerleading coach in your calculations. Oregon's cheer coach is good for morale.
Desmond Howard seems to think we are in trouble because we are without RS. I believe RS has yet to live up to the potential, similarities of Reggie Bush. Im excited about the new crop of WRs getting a chance...ODB, Landry, Williams...

Its a good excuse for us to eat good, check out the babes, and clean all the marketing gear out of the supply room. Ill have a bunch of the camo "cinch sacks" to give out for sure.

I have a booth, so by default I am attending. Come by and ill give you some Army gear.
The only thing that seems certain about this case is all of the questionable evidence. Witnesses, video, media leaks, BRPD leaks. I'd forego the high-priced lawyer and feel confident with an overweight public defender with a drinking problem.
Regardless of the witness connection to Lowery, what would be her motive to implicate Jefferson as the kicker, versus any other person there.
Interestingly enough, this girl was my waitress a few times at Walkon's. My recruiters and I go in there for lunch fairly often in uniform. Sweet girl...looks like she got mixed up in a bad situation.
re: Official Police Report- New Link

Team, I'm no legal expert but I can definitely tell you this much from experience as an Army Recruiter. When we go to BRPD and get police reports they are chock full of inconsistencies and sometimes erroneous info that never make it to the actual document that matters, which is the DA's Bill of Information, and even further...actual court minutes. Of course, this would only exist if the DA feels there is evidence to pursue charges. I wouldn't fit anyone for prison attire just yet.

how do people know what this dude looks like to be able to pick him out of a crowd?
yeah no kidding.
She may have learned who he was once fight was over and the lingering crowd was recapping. You know how it goes...everyone of course was trying to determinie who said what and who hit who...someone asked who the white dude was with JJ, and someone said...oh thats Josh Johns, my cousin knew him from high school.
there goes that blonde in the video. the witness is described as 5ft7in 123lbs 19y.o. blonde hair from Denham. Maybeeeee since she was 19 and came forward as a witness, she was not intoxicated. I stress the maybe.
re: YouTube: The alleged LSU brawl video. (updated with EXTENDED VERSION)

[/URL] Try listening to this on a smartphone. I let my wife (does not follow this story) listen to it a couple times and gave her a multiple choice exam with option of 1) 5-0 2)Jarvo or 3)Jeff. She said the only thing she could make out for certain was "jarvo".
She actually had me change my mind from thinking 5-0 to Jarvo. The resolution on phone is a tad better but you still cant clearly identify much.

LSU bars seem to be the winners in all this.

The Marine in question is quite possibly in the Marine Forces Reserve. That would be my best guess because there are no FULL TIME - Marine Corp Duty Stations anywhere close to Baton Rouge. The DET HQSVC CO 3RD BN 23RD MAR REGT, 4TH MARINE DIVISION is located in Baton Rouge. One the largest Marine Forces Reserve units’ in the USA (if I am not mistaken) is located in the New Orleans area (They have full time reservists there). The Reservists can definitely hold a job at a bar as a bouncer or whatever else they want to do.
or, like he said.

Is this marine on active duty? I don't understand how he can be working as a bouncer and be on active duty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its easy, like having a part time job. The military has units all over the country, there is a unit in Baton Rouge with active duty.
Most likely Marine Corps Reserves drilling on GSRI or Airport, given his age and the fact that there aren't any active duty Marine Corps bases in BR. Generally, the only active duty military you will see in the area are recruiters, ROTC instructors, and the AGR folks (active duty personnel who run the reserve units outside of drill weekends.
Ill have one of my recruiters find out what made him decide on P.A. this week. I know he is a volunteer unpaid coach though. I will get more details and post.
Klingler7,first Id like to say I appreciate your red-blooded patriotism. However, I can definitely understand the frustration that some have with the perception that a service-member, by default, can get away with being a POS. I don't know what this guy did exactly, but I can tell you that as a servicemember you are responsible for how your actions reflect on the honorable reputation of your service branch. At this point, it don't appear that much thought was put into potential consequences that night. As a military supervisor, you can bet the local Marine leaders will take appropriate action to police their own.
Josh Reed coaching assistant Port Allen High
Posted by USArmyBR on 8/24/11 at 11:04 am
Hopefully not posting old news but was speaking with Coach Blanchard from Port Allen last week about the football team. He bragged on how nice it was to have Reed as the WR coach (volunteer). He said the guy was super humble and downplays the fame. Great gesture from an LSU all-time great.
I'll spend my 3rd post on this topic. As a few posters eluded to earlier, it is always embarrassing when I see young servicemen in public exploiting military status to create their own personal celebrity. When I joined the Army 12 years ago as a young immature private, I wanted to make sure everyone knew I was a Soldier, no matter how obnoxious I had to be. It took several years for me to adopt true military values..respect, honor, integrity, etc. Once I actually adopted these values and conducted myself accordingly I no longer felt the need to let the public know "who I was" because it was evident in my demeanor. Nowadays, I command the Army recruiting station on Lee Dr where we are the face of the Army. My recruiters and I travel the community and have been to several of the LSU bars and have only been treated with the utmost respect (in and out of uniform)and could not fathom being in a verbal or physical altercation. I guess my point is that there are a$$hats everywhere regardless of their career path, or lack thereof. Lastly, as a BR native I enjoy reading all of the posts and rarely comment, but if any of you want to share a beer during football season..let me know. SFC Conerly
The Redstick bowl was great this year and seems to be getting better each year. We decided to change the venue from Olympia due to the poor conditions on that field after rain. Last year we were concerned a player would get hurt with the huge ruts and potentially hurt their chances of college offers. This year with location on turf at PBS, I talked with several players, coaches, fans and all agreed it was a much more favorable venue. Next year, we are planning to possibly use Denham Springs, Zachary, PBS again, or the Louisiana Leadership Institute facilities.
As for the game itself, it was a classic just like last year...down to the wire. Standout players were Catholic's Oliver (huge upside on this kid) who is commited to Northwestern in Chicago; Tekemian Ceaser (EFHS)who caught go-ahead game winning TD from Oliver; Devin Payne from Port Allen is a freak of an athlete and can be used in multiple positions (voted MVP for the Black Knights). Oliver was the MVP for Rough Riders. Side note- if you have not paid attention to EFHS, you are missing out. This team was well represented at the bowl and the EFHS roster is stacked with talent.
Academically, there were some standouts also on the rosters. Notably, Monk from U.High scored a perfect 2400 on SAT, 35 of 36 on ACT, and 5.0 GPA; being recruited by Vandy.
As the US Army representative in charge of the bowl game production, it was an honor to have several combat veterans in attendance. During halftime, several local Future Soldiers swore the oath of enlistment mid-field. These are the young men and women who have committed to serving and are waiting for training dates.

Yes. I spoke with him at the Red Stick bowl game quite a bit. This kid is resilient.
