Derek Swofford: Selected for Green Berets

[Water Pony]

From the Mustang Quarterly, Spring 2006

"After months of training in the U.S. Army, former SMU tight end Derek Swofford was chosen for the Green Berets. Swofford graduated in 2005 with a sociology degree."

Best of luck, Derek: 'Put Silver Wings Upon Your Chest, Be One of America's Best'

Mustangs Rule!

One of the funniest guys I've ever interviewed.
All the best, Derek.

Man, Swofford always looked the part of a Green Beret. Congrats to him!

[LonghornFan68]

Cool, good luck to him. That's no picnic.

SF people are the super Pros of the real game of life. With his degree I hope he earned a commission.

I just talked to Derek today and told him to check out the continued support he was getting from all of the Mustang Family. He's doing great and told me he was getting ready for a much deserved weekend break down on the Atlantic Coast. He still has a lot of training to do. We wish him the best of luck. Go DEREK and Go MUSTANGS.

Always proud of my Ponies, and that certainly extends to our man Swofford. Mustang Nation is proud of you, and we wish you all the best.
Thanks for the update, 35straight.
