He doesn't mention his rank, didn't you have to be an officer to be a Marine Corps chopper pilot? He also doesn't mention the type of helicopter he flew. Lifting 13 guys plus the crew with a Huey might just be possible but is highly unlikely (read virtually impossible), and anyone who would hover while shooting in Chinook has a death wish. No unit mentioned. And the old Chinese water torture! Beating you with a fan belt was more the NVA style. This one needs to go to one of those stolen valor groups for verification.
Come on.... I take this man for his word. I can't doubt a Hero.
