LT. COL. JERRY CARTER: I’m Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Carter. I’ve been in the Marine Corps for 19 years. I’m from York, Pennsylvania, and I’m an Intelligence Officer. When I left Parris Island I walked tall, my shoulders were rolled back, head and eye straight to the front and there was nothing in the world that I didn’t think I could accomplish when I left the motivated island as we call it. The foundation that I have now in the Marine Corps I think without a doubt, even reflecting back over a 20-year period, you can’t find this anywhere else. You can’t buy it. Overall whether you’re an Intelligence Officer, an Infantry Officer, it doesn’t matter. A Marine Corps officer as a Marine in general, any Marine from Private all the way to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, you can look at a Marine and say that there’s a guy that I can count on and he has a very good base of leadership and some qualities about him that would be successful in any part of the world.
