Drill Instructor Leo McSweeney enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1990. He served in the infantry and achieved the rank of sergeant beforehe was honorably discharged in January 2000. After deploying all over the world including Japan, Africa, Australia and the Persian Gulf, McSweeney took on the challenge of becoming and serving as a Drill Instructor. He says his role as one of the four Drill Instructors the TV reality series Boot Camp was an interesting experience. "Unfortunately, the part didn't turn into many dates," says McSweeney. "Getting yelled at and being told to do push-ups isn't exactly a girl's dream date." Perhaps the humorous side of McSweeney's personality comes from growing up in a home as one of seven kids. Thanks to one of his sisters, he's also an accomplished salsa and meringue dancer. "Not quite the tough guy I play on TV," McSweeney jokes. Today, the Boston native is enjoying his space as a bachelor, and resides in Venice Beach, Calif. Return to the Team!
