My section chief in the Army was an E-7 full blooded Cherokee (who had spent five years in the Navy as a code clerk and could type 105 WPM on a manual typewriter.) Really one heck of nice guy. He stood six foot zero, weighed about 130 and could easily hoist a folded GP medium tent over his head. Really wiry SOG.
He was a very nice man.....A great outdoorsman....
I wish I'd of known him better.....He was a orphan and was schooled at Chilocco Indian School, Okla....where he met my Potawatomi Grandmother's sister.
They were married....
