Fort Drum – The Mountaineer Onlinehttp://www.drum.army.mil/mountaineer/Article.aspx?ID=6126When people think of a new recruit, they might envision a fresh-faced high school or college graduate ready to conquer the world, not someone with a whole other life of experiences.
Chaplain (Capt.) Steve Love, 277th Aviation Support Battalion, walked a long road of fitness, mentoring and coaching before he swapped his football jersey and pastor’s suit for an Army uniform at age 45.
Love was an all-American boy growing up in Illinois. He attended Southwest Baptist University, where he played football and met his wife, Connie. After graduating, he was offered a full-time coaching position at the college.
