Notable Episodes

Special Agent Gibbs works for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, leading a team of investigators including Timothy McGee and Anthony DiNozzo. Gibbs is one of NCIS's senior agents and is respected and feared by most other NCIS personnel.

Gibbs was a Marine Corps gunnery sergeant before he joined NCIS, and people still occasionally refer to him as 'gunny'. He still maintains a relatively stereotypical marine attitude, expecting a minimum of 110% out of his agents. He's very protective of his people, and at one point makes the comment that he's never lost an agent. This stellar record was broken in 2005 when Special Agent Caitlin Todd was killed while protecting him from Hamas operative Ari Haswari.

Agent Gibbs spends a lot of his spare time in his basement drinking whiskey out of coffee cups and working on his pet project, a boat which he is hand-making with wood and non-powered tools.

[edit] Trivia

Gibbs was a Marine Corps sniper, serving in Panama and Desert Storm.
Gibbs shot with a sniper rifle a ranger who was trying to run away in the butt in 3x17 Ravenous
During the time that everyone was having trauma-induced hallucinations of Caitlin Todd shortly after her death, Gibbs' imaginary Caitlin was an accusatory figure, appearing as she had at the time of her murder complete with bullet hole in the forehead. Gibbs' Caitlin asked him why she had to die for him.
