Alex was from Argentina via Boston. He was short, stocky, and bald with a sarcastic aspect on life in general and the Army specifically. He was a former Marine Corps captain who left that service because they refused to train him to fly. The Marine Corps offered him promotion to major if he’d stick around, but Alex wanted something different so he joined the Army, qualified to become a warrant officer, went to Fort Rucker where he excelled, asked for Blackhawks, and then got his wings.
