ROCKY - ROCKY STAR TRAINS TROOPS

ROCKY star CARL WEATHERS is using his boxing prowess to train American soldiers fighting overseas. The 58-year-old, who played APOLLO CREED opposite SYLVESTER STALLONE, is giving lessons at a training camp in the Californian desert on how to deal with mortar attacks and roadside and suicide bombs. Sergeant MATTHEW BOONE says, "This is good training for guys who haven't been out there yet. I never got anything like this before I went to Afghanistan."
