Way back when, I was going through rifle/pistol coaches school at Weapons Battalion on Parris Island, the Commanding Officer of the Battalion was a former Huey Cobra pilot that lost his arm, his gunner, and his flight status in Grenada.
At the time I met him, he was a full Bird Colonel.
In all of my active duty time I never met a more down to earth C.O.
