Don't seek to become a leader of others. Seek, instead, to become a leader of yourself. Then, others will follow, willingly.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Actually, parts of the film were not completed until 1987 which is when I met Lee Marivn on set, I guess 1985 was the inception of the project. I was on set as one of the LAV vehicle commanders in the scene where the vehicles cross the river. It's the Margarita River behind the Naval Hospital on Camp Pendleton, ...the scene with the ambush, snipers and LAv's. Marvin was in great pain but stayed an hour after filming to talk with us, he died a few months later ... class act! Coincidentally, I also served under the command of Col. Wesley Fox in this film, in 1982 and 83 with 1st Bn, 6th Marines. Fantastic leader of men.
Randall Alexander Wesley was my uncle. Married to my aunt Dottie Lu. I have a lot of servicemen in my family but nobody like Wes. When I was 18 years old and thought about joining the service during wartime, Wes, at a family reunion told me “son, not if you like living”. He was committed to his men for his entire life and our family was devastated from his loss.
Had the honor and privilege of meeting Col Fox while I was at TBS for the Warrant Officer class 1991.
Thanks! I thought it went very well. Lee Marvin did an excellent job!

Great film. Saw it going thru MCRD San Diego 1988. Good points on leadership. Better screening needs to be done for Marines promoting to E-6 & above. Great leadership also comes from personality and wanting to be a good leader. As an example, had two First SGTs who were great Marines on paper, but total f------ scumbags when the officers weren't around. One could barely read or write because of the region of the country he was from things moved at a slower pace. So he took it out on the troops for the bad hand that he thought was dealt to him in life. He was mad at the world and had an ax to grind. At this point in his career and life he should have gotten over it. Other one was so arrogant he would charge jr. Marines with BS NJP. Thank God the company had officers with integrity and courage to put a stop to it. Semper Fi!
Eight years. E-4. Passed over for E-5 because of the "Bottoms-Up" reviews of the mid 1990's. Things were different during the 90's. They were discharging people for whatever BS reason. 0331, OOH-RAH!
True, However this was back in the 90's. Real hard to pick-up rank in the peace-time Corps. I remember in one of the rifle platoons we had a squad leader that was E-4 with 12 years in. No NJPs. Just it was hard to pick-up rank. Semper Fi.
Yep. It seemed that making Sgt. in the infantry proved a near-impossible feat back then.
Promotions were real slow back than. Sometimes took four years to make E-4. Six to ten years to make E-5.
Mark Lanz Took most guys I knew four years to make E-4. Usually it came around just before they'd start checking out to EAS. And Sgt? Forget about it. Might take a corporal ...a good one...to the end of his second enlistment....
