"I smell smoke! And where there's smoke, there's fire!"
― Dwight T. Barnes[src]

Senior Drill Instructor Dwight T. Barnes is a Marine Drill Instructor stationed in Santego Military Base, Arizona. He trained some if not all the men in the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, including Adrian Shephard.

Behind the scenes[edit]

Four cut animations intended for the various Drill Instructors seen during Shephard's training can still be found in the shared model "drill.mdl". These include blowing a whistle, shouting into a megaphone, and looking through binoculars, with corresponding submodels.

Trivia[edit]

  • During the game, HECU soldiers sometimes say "If only Drill Instructor Barnes could see me now...".
  • Barnes is likely inspired by Senior Drill Instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from the film Full Metal Jacket.
  • If injured or killed, Barnes uses security guard voice clips, as any other Marine found at Santego.
  • He shares the same model and voice actor with other Drill Instructors found on the base.
