In reality I bet Castow would never have been that fouled up.

@bigbob07087 The Marine Corps changed the rank structure in the late 1950's after this movie was made. Technical Sergeants rank was changed to Gunnery Sergeant. The rank of Lance Corporal was added as a spacer between the ranks of Private 1st Class and Corporal, and crossed rifles were added above the rank of Private 1st Class. Watching this movie and having served in the Corps, there are a lot of "discrepancies" that a lot of lay men would not catch but a Marine would.

2 rockers are the insignia of a gunnery Sargeant

@NForcerSA- He's called a Gunny at least once, though. And his rank insignia matches that for Gunnery Sergeant.

@NForcerSA Ya I know I just remember that I forgot that Gunny looks different.
This is a great movie this should have been on dvd along time ago.

The first time I was told to center on the hatch I misunderstood the di's order and was confused. Not wanting to do nothing, I guessed, and sat down cross legged on the threshold of his hatch. I thought he said sit on my hatch.
My senior DI looked down at me just as confused as I was.
"Son you really are retarded aren't you" only time I ever saw pity from a DI. Laughing out loud about it now.
