On Thursday, USAA teamed with the San Antonio Spurs to offer 50 military members from local bases the chance to train like the Spurs. The Military Training Camp temporarily placed the service members under the tutelage of Spurs assistant coaches Will Hardy and Ime Udoka.
The pairing of the Spurs culture and military personnel is not a new one to San Antonio, but it is the perfect meld of honor and dedication. The honored guests jumped right into the activities of the day and gave 100%.
Vice Admiral John Bird retired from the Navy six years ago before moving to into his position as Senior Vice President for Military Affairs at USAA.
