Company Grade: Memoir of An Angry Skipper
By Henry "Rocky" CovitaFrom an early age Henry "Rocky" Colavita dreamed of becoming an Army officer. And a policeman. He eventually did both. His engaging, often funny memoir covers the author's 20- year career in the U.S. Army, including multiple tours in Vietnam, and his subsequent 17-year career in law enforcement. Henry was born in New Jersey, raised in Hawaii for a time and grew up in Virginia where most of his schoolmates were Army brats. But his next-door neighbor was a cop. The perfect situation for him to develop an affinity for service, both military and public. Wounded in Vietnam on his first tour, he returned for a second tour, this time as Infantry captain in command. He returned home, age 28, and continued his military career—including a stint at The Pentagon and in Berlin, eventually retiring in 1983 and beginning his second career—in law enforcement.
