When I was in, Haiti got hot...mid 80s. As per most young people, everyone was about kicking butt and taking names. However, we had one guy decide, inexplicably and suddenly, to become a CO. This was a guy who loved to drink and fight (I think he was Irish LOL). Needless to say, it didn't wash and for all his objecting that was in vain, we didn't deploy. Once he realized we weren't going anywhere except to "train" around Bragg, his CO attitude quickly diminished. From that point on, he was a thorn in our sides and nobody wanted him around. I don't know what happened to him but I'm sure that if the 1SG had his way...it wasn't pleasant.
I realize we all go through our foibles in life that change our view on how we see things. Is this guy real in his conviction or is he woosing out? Only he knows and has to face himself at the end of the day for his decision.
