Trivia:
Many real-life Marines are extras in the movie. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The Plot Summary for this film incorrectly states that Moore's rank is Technical Sergeant. Since the movie takes place in the 1950's, his actual rank is Gunnery Sergeant. The rank of Tech Sgt was abolished by the Marine Corps in 1946, immediately after World War II. moreQuotes:
Pvt. Owens: I have a headache, sir.TSgt Moore: You don't have a headache. Only your Drill Instructor is allowed to have headaches. I have 72 of them.

Jack Webb is riveting as a Marine Corp drill instructor in the D.I.. Webb play Sgt.Jim Moore, a tough but fair Marine whose job it is to prepare young teens for possible combat. No one could have played this role any better that Jack Webb. As a former Marine,I can assure that this is the most accurate film dealing with basic training in the Corp. Extremely entertaining!
