During the Korean war he enlisted in the US Navy in the Naval Flight School Pensacola Florida as a midshipman. After graduating as a naval aviator with the rank of ensign he was assigned to a submarine patrol squadron operating from Maine and from Malta. His final rank was that of a LTJG. Glenn then attended Eastern Michigan where he earned BS, MS and Specialist Degrees in Geography.

Glenn and Fred Adolph, developed a special program of European Studies. After a two semester study of European Geography and History the students toured Europe independently. Their classroom prepared them for independent travel. Once in Europe the students traveled with Eurorail passes and stayed in youth hotels. Glenn and Fred met with them every few days and preplanned locations for more discussions. The European Study Program operated for seven years.
