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.

Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.

Playing the good guy is tough because you know as well as I do, in real life, you have to watch your P's and Q's and conduct yourself in a respectable manner if you expect to have friends.

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.

Drill instructors worked seven days a week, fifteen to seventeen hours a day in many cases, with no time off in between platoons.

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

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.
