You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corps because of something that I said or did.

Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair.

That's all I cared about too, was getting it right.

I got space from Travis Air Force Base, went back to the Philippine Islands and made it a point to meet the only American casting director in the Philippines. I was off and running.

I go the VA Hospital when I have a problem and the doctor jumps on me.

I disagree with a lot of those changes, however at the end of the day - I go down to recruit graduation at least once or twice a year.

We had times in '66 and '67 when we would pick up a platoon of privates out of the receiving barracks the week before we even graduated the platoon that we were on!
