Meet the underwear model helping military spouses cope with deployment loneliness

Filed · 1536

FORT HOOD, Tx. — Local civilian and underwear model Jordan Darrell Koch-Waggoner, known to local soldiers and their wives as “Jo D.” or "Jody," takes pride in serving the men and women of Fort Hood by helping spouses at home deal with deployment loneliness.

“Generally, I try to keep what I’m doing on the DL,” said Koch-Waggoner, who was surprised to hear about his fame around post. “I’m not doing it for praise. I just want to see that the military spouses back home have their needs taken care of."

Like most of the country’s population, "Jody" has never served in the armed forces, but he feels this is a way of fulfilling his patriotic duty and giving back to the service members who have defended his freedom.

"Servicing... I mean, serving the people with the toughest job in the military is what I do best."
