After serving in Viet Nam, the Gunny went on to have a career in acting, but never forgot his Marine past. When GI Joe was re-instated, they called upon the most well known Drill Sergeant to help in the training of the new recruits and reshape the returning Joes. Along with his Drill Sergeant duties, the Gunny also teaches the new recruits about Military History. This includes explaining equipment, ideas, and procedure. Beach Head and Sgt Slaughter look up to the Gunny and have always tried to emulate his persona. Having the real thing makes for a world of difference in the fight against COBRA.

"Listen up you maggots! I'm only going to say this once. I will train you to be the best because you will be fighting with the best! I will teach you what you will need to know to keep your ass and the ass of your fellow soldier alive and how to take out your enemy! Simper Fi!"
