The case would have spawned media headlines, and Pyle's fellow recruits would probably be infamous among their fellow Marines – if they hadn't already been booted out. it is the private's duty to inform the senior drill instructor that Private Pyle has a full magazine. In short, the Hartman-Lawrence incident would cause a ton of havoc. And the really unlucky ones would get court-martialed. Unlucky ones would face the "up or out" realities of promotion. In the wake of an incident like the one portrayed in Full Metal Jacket, the lucky ones would get relieved and receive letters of admonition or reprimand and would close out their careers long enough to get retirement. The DI was court-martialed and charged with negligent homicide. In the wake the 1956 Ribbon Creek incident, in which a DI got six recruits killed during night march through a swamp, officers were required to more closely supervise recruit training. The Navy's Judge Advocate General Corps would probably be conducting a lot of court-martials in the wake of the Hartman-Lawrence murder-suicide.
If you think the recruits had it bad, well, some of the officers would likely see their careers end. The Naval Inspector General's office would come in and start asking a lot of questions - not just of the Marines in the platoon, but of the entire chain of command at Parris Island. Renforth's counterpart in Full Metal Jacket would likely see his career hit a dead end in the wake of the Hartman-Lawrence murder-suicide.īut it doesn't stop there.
