If there is one word to describe Cutter, it would have to be persistent. He actually wrote to his congressman for an appointment to get into Annapolis for two years! In the end, he realized his family lacked power and influence. That didn't stop him, he decided to join the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut instead. That same persistence made him one of the best Coast Guard patrolmen and netted a good number of drug smugglers. When he learned the G.I. Joe Team didn't even have one Coast Guard representative, he badgered the top brass so much until they pulled all the strings just to get him in and shut him up.

Being from Kansas, it's awfully strange that he would find himself right at home at sea. Even the story of how he fell in love with the sea at age 14 on one family trip to Florida doesn't seem to explain it either. Cutter is defined by his iron will, contrary nature and quirky sense of humor. That is the closest explanation any could come to.
