Tampa, Florida (CNN) -- Army Chief Warrant Officer Romy Camargo is a never-quit kind of guy.
He was a fighter when he joined the Army at 19. He was an elite fighter when he later joined the Special Forces. He was a seasoned fighter on his third tour in Afghanistan in 2008 -- when he was wounded.
"As we were moving out when we came under a pretty vicious ambush," Camargo told CNN on a visit to his Tampa home on Wednesday. "I was shot in the back of the head."
That wound left him paralyzed from the neck down. But Camargo is still in uniform and determined to stay that way. He attitude is upbeat and he's ready to keep fighting.
"Yes, my goal is to stay on active duty. It's basically been 15-and-a-half great years," he said.
