Craft describes himself as "a lousy garrison Marine, but good in the field...." Although he performed well in training and combat, a drunk and disorderly incident in 2003 prevented him from sewing on corporal stripes until this past year.

Heh, I know that type very well. You don't want a whole platoon of those guys, but you wouldn't want to have a platoon without any of them, either. The born fighters.

Yep, the majority of Marines, sailors, and soldiers are just like that (me included). The crap that you have to put up with daily on base drives most out after one enlistment.
