The son of lieutenant general (retired) Victor Krulak, USMC, he attended Phillips Exeter Academy before entering the U.S. Naval Academy.

Some of his legacies include the "Crucible" experiential challenge in recruit training, variations of which have been adopted by all of the U.S. military services. He was a major contributor to rewriting Marine Corps doctrinal publications,[1] and is the author of articles on Marine motivation and professionalism, especially an essay called "The Strategic Corporal" [2]
