He had a website where he, in effect, bragged about his awards and decorations. I spent 21 years in the Army and learned to never trust anyone who talked about their awards and/or their efficiency reports. You receive an award - wear it and shut up about it.

I remember that his book was very popular among officers in by OBC class. I did not agree with everything he said in it. He went on about ticket punchers and the like, as I recall. It seemed as thgough he were writing more to impress than to refrom.

Still there were somethings said in the book that needed to be learned by young officers.
Rest in peace Col.
