Adams hoped for an engineering career. He joined the U.S. Marines in the early days of World War II and served as a drill instructor. He saw combat in the invasion of Guadalcanal and was the only survivor of his platoon. He contracted blackwater fever and nearly died, remaining hospitalized for more than a year.

Thank you Don Adams for your service and comedy.

RIP

Thanks for the ping. I didn't know. I never would've guessed that he was a Marine drill sergeant.
