Steve McQueen-Military Service

 

stevemcqueen1

In 1947, McQueen joined the United States  Marine Corps. He was quickly promoted to Private First Class.  He was assigned to an armored unit.  He reverted to his prior rebelliousness ways. As a result McQueen was demoted to private seven times. He went UA (unauthorized absence) by failing to return after a weekend pass had expired.  He stayed away with a girlfriend for two weeks, until the shore patrol caught him. He resisted arrest as a result spent 41 days in the brig.

 

After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement,  embracing  the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise. He pulled them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea.  He was also assigned to an honor guard responsible for guarding the U.S. President Harry Truman's yacht.  McQueen served until 1950 when he was honorably discharged.

Steve McQueen-Early Life

 

stevemcqueen 

 

Steve McQueen was born Terrence Steven McQueen in Beech Grove, Indiana.  His father, Terrence William McQueen abandoned McQueen and his mother when McQueen was six months old. His mother, Julian  was a young, rebellious alcoholic.

 

Unable to cope with bringing up a small child, she left him with her parents (Victor and Lillian) in Slater, Missouri, in 1933. As the Great Depression set in, McQueen and his grandparents moved in with Lillian's brother Claude to the latter's farm in Slater.

 

McQueen had good memories of the time spent on his great-uncle Claude's farm.  In recalling Claude, McQueen stated "He was a very good man, very strong, very fair. I learned a lot from him.”  On McQueen's fourth birthday, Claude gave him a red tricycle, which McQueen later started his interest in racing.  At age 8, he was taken back by his mother and lived with her and her new husband in Indianapolis.  McQueen retained a special memory of leaving the farm: "The day I left the farm Uncle Claude gave me a personal going-away present; a gold pocket watch, with an inscription inside the case." The inscription read: "To Steve -- who has been a son to me."

 

McQueen, who was dyslexic and partially deaf as a result of a childhood ear infection.  He did not adjust well to his new life.  Within a couple of years, he was running with a street gang and committing acts of petty crime.  Unable to control McQueen, his mother sent him back to Slater again. When McQueen was 12, Julian wrote to Claude asking once again that McQueen be returned to her, this time in Los Angeles, California. Julian, whose second marriage had ended in divorce, had married a third time.

 

This began an unsettled period in McQueen's life.  By McQueen's own account, he and his new stepfather "locked horns immediately." McQueen recounted him as "a prime son of a bitch" who was not averse to using his fists on both McQueen and his mother.  McQueen began to rebel once again, he was sent back to live with Claude a final time. At age 14, McQueen left Claude's farm without saying goodbye and joined a circus for a short time.  After which he slowly drifted back to his mother and stepfather in Los Angeles.  He resumed his life as a gang member and petty criminal. On one occasion, McQueen was caught stealing hubcaps by police, who handed him over to his stepfather. The latter proceeded to beat McQueen severely, and ended the fight by throwing McQueen down a flight of stairs. McQueen looked up at his stepfather and said, "You lay your stinkin' hands on me again and I swear, I'll kill ya."

 

After that incident, McQueen's stepfather convinced Julian to sign a court order stating that McQueen was incorrigible and remanding him to the California Junior Boys Republic in Chino, California.  McQueen slowly began to change and mature.  He was not popular with  the other boys at first: "Say the boys had a chance once a month to load  into a bus and go into town to see a movie.  They lost out because one guy in the bungalow didn't get his work done right.  Well, you can pretty well guess they're going to have something to say about that.  I paid his dues with the other fellows quite a few times.  I got my lumps, no doubt about it. The other guys in the bungalow had ways of paying you back for interfering with their well-being."

 

McQueen decided to give Boys Republic a fair shake. He became a role model for the other boys when he was elected to the Boys Council. Boys Council was a group who made the rules and regulations governing the boys' lives.  He eventually left Boys Republic at 16.  He later became famous, he regularly returned to talk to the boys there. He also personally responded to every letter he received from the boys there, and retained an association.

 

After McQueen left Chino, he returned to Julian, now living in Greenwich Village, but almost immediately left again. He met two sailors there from the Merchant Marine and volunteered to serve on a ship bound for the Dominican Republic. When he got there, McQueen abandoned his new post. He eventually made his way to Texas, and drifted from job to job.

My Surprise For Today. We Have An Occupy Purdue Here In West Lafayette, Indiana.

 

I’ll tell you why I was surprised. I knew the Occupy movement was all over the United States. I have been paying attention.  But here in Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana,  I hadn’t heard too much about any Occupiers.

 

Because back in the latter part of October, the highlight of the Occupiers here was a march. It was peaceful. I didn’t hear anything about them after  the march. It was like they disappeared afterwards.

 

Then today in Lafayette and West Lafayette’s local paper, I read about Occupy Purdue. Journal and Courier, said about the Occupy Purdue: “a muted movement at Purdue University”. No, wonder, I haven’t heard about Occupy Purdue.  Here is a actual Occupy being quiet.

 

“Purdue students and others are holding public meetings and showing films to discuss ideas and agree on points of action. Occupy Purdue is a collection of students and recent graduates focusing a view of social justice through the lens of higher education.”  According to Eric Weddle, who wrote the article I read on Occupy Purdue.

 

Now, do you understand why I was surprise?

 

This article is the one I read.  Purdue Occupy movement quieter than kin but still active
