Some reports imply that he flew helicopters in the Navy, but I'm pretty sure he was an enlisted man, not a Naval Aviator. One report says he learned to fly at Embry Riddle. Someone claiming to be his shipmate says he served with him on an aircraft carrier as a Gunners Mate.
I wonder if he was a Gunners Mate attached (at some time or another) to a support unit in support of a SEAL team or if he actually graduated from BUDS training.
