The story

Technical sergeant Jim Moore, a highly decorated and strict drill instructor on Parris Island, is charged with Owens, a capable recruit who fails under pressure. Although he has his reputation on the line, Moore is convinced that he can make Owens into a Marine and pushes him harder, but Owens continues to falter and nearly deserts. Captain Anderson, commander of Moore's recruit training company, doubts Owens will ever make it through recruit training, but Moore defends his assessment, asking for additional time.
