I was a long haired hippy maggot when I joined the Marines in 1968. Went to MCRD San Diego as pictured here. Served 13 months in Vietnam. At the time I didn't like the Marines but now I'm so proud of my service I could pop. It was a good thing, I fought to protect a people that threw themselves into dingys to cross the Pacific to get to America after we left. God bless America and God bless the freedom loving people of Vietnam, we both sacrificed a lot for liberty.

This was a serious drama anti-Vietnam war movie in 1970. My dad was USMC from 1951-1953. I was at Marine Military Academy from 1973-75. I wasn't in the real thing but it was a close imitator since we had retired USMC DI's from that era in our face almost all the time. Dad and I watched this movie once when he was in the hospital. We both couldn't stop laughing at the various situations which reminded both of us of situations we'd been in. Funniest was when Pvt. Adrian was caught not wearing skivvies doing push-ups and Gy. Sgt. Drake is in his face. "Why aren't are you wearing skivvies?" And Jan Michael Vincent says, "I like the freedom, Sir!" When Drake's eyes begin to roll and he's trying to formulate a response, he says, "Now hear this! There will be no FREEDOM in this camp!" I was sitting in the chair and Dad was in his bed. We both almost fell to the floor laughing so hard since we'd both seen stuff like that before even 20 years apart. This is a great movie and very funny but you had to have an experience similar to it to appreciate it.

That's the story at least, anybody else heard that?

Yes, technically the Marines drafted people like that (every 4th guy), albeit briefly as I understood during 1968-69 when troop levels in Vietnam were in high need and disbursed. Also heard of a few guys who were drafted into the Navy, too. I think they put you where they needed you given the timing of your indoctrination. - though most were drafted directly into the Army for 2 years.

I know he doesn't measure up to Lee Ermy's DI or even Lou Gossett, but I think Darren Mcgavin does a good job in this made for TV movie. Remember, this is Hollywood. The movie has to tell a story, not get tied down to factual accuracy for a documentary. The Navy pilots who consulted on "Top Gun" had lots of laughs and criticisms of that movie when they finally saw it. Yet, none could argue that they didn't love the he!! out of it. ;) I think Darren did okay, here. If you want to see a really brutal DI, watch the Gary Cooper flick "Beau Geste" 1939. Sergeant Markoff (played by Brian Donlevy) is one brutally bad mother. Homicidal, in fact. Great flick. Check it out if you haven't seen it. It's a classic.

The irony of of the movie is that as boot camp progresses, the hippie turns out to be the finest recruit in the platoon.
