2nd Lt. L was the character I remember most vividly. Great guy who cared about us enlisted men. Fresh outta College ROTC. No particular story I wish to share at this time as they all would take too long to tell. But even with his obvious newness I would have followed him into hell because I KNEW he had our backs. I hope he kept it that way too. Great guy. Had some senior NCO's I felt the same way about and some I wouldn't follow to the landfill.
