Welcome Josh.
First off let me say Thank You for your service to this country. I am a '72 Malibu owner. I have owned mine for over 15 yrs and there was a time I considered selling mine too. I am sure that you will find another Chevelle, and I think that there are a few members here who may be able to help you and steer you in the right direction.
Here is a pic from last years NOCC Chevelle Show. It is a row of '72s just for you. Mine is the black one with the silver stripe on the side.
