Drill Instructor Leo McSweeney enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1990. He served in the infantry and achieved the rank of sergeant before he 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.
