In October of 1942, Chuck Connors dropped out of school (Seton Hall) on his senior year to enlist in the US Army. He served as an instructor at the tank-warfare school at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, followed by a posting at West Point. He was discharged in 1946.

[edit] Underground film career?

Haven't there been rumors that he played in stag films (as they were then called) at some point in his career? --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 12:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I, too have heard these rumors. From the best I can tell, they are not true. It stems from an early 70's male-on-male porno involving a man who looked similar to (but was not) Chuck Connors. Interestingly, the real Chuck Connors has a foreskin whereas this look-a-like did not. Or so teh internets tell me. 71.205.13.162 04:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Chuck Connors played baseball with my father in Cuba in the early 50's. Chuck taught me how to swim! We have shots of him on old home films my dad took in Havana.
