I was there remember Col Acala real well.  I remember when some of the young hispanic troops came before him for an Article 15 they said they didn't understand so he would read it to them in Spanish.  He was a hard charger.  Of course those were the days of Gen G. Patton Jr.  I used to remember him driving around checking on everything god forbid if there were two people walking together in uniform one of them better be in charge.
