Leatherneck was the hardest gunny that ever slogged through the mud of Camp Nürnberg. Before that, he was the toughest drill sergeant in Hanover. Before that, he was the roughest tech sergeant of the 1st Recon Bn* in Vietnam. Before THAT, he was the meanest corporal in Saarbrucken. Civilian badness just doesn´t count.

*Recon Battalion

“He is uncouth, self opinionated and overbearing. And he has no patience at all with the indecisive, the lazy and the dishonest. Not a man you can like, but one you can trust.”
