And in "The Namesake", it is revealed that LJ Moore, a World War II veteran and Montford Point Marine, had influenced the teenaged Gibbs to join the Marines.
In Hung Out to Dry Gibbs mentions that he comes from a long line of horse traders and few of them had been hanged. In Outlaws and In-Laws Gibbs tells about/mentioned both his great-great-great-grandfathers was Civil War veterans, whose fought on different sides, even shot at each other and 30 years later they couldn’t look at each other afterward. But they ended up in the same house because of their children's marriage to each other and in their old age sit on rocking chairs in front porch of the house. The two never said word to each other for the rest of their lives. In Semper Fidelis Gibbs mentions that his grandfather had still what blew up once and he ran back inside to rescue his sour mash. In My Other Left Foot, Gibbs states that he had an aunt who died at age seven. In Devil's Triangle Gibbs mentions his uncle had powderized milk machines on his farm.
According to his father, Gibbs was such a happy child. When child he had fallen asleep and left the sheep gate unlocked, letting the sheep go out and scattered. And after his dad came back and finding him asleep, he spent the next 25 hours trying to round up 26 missing sheep.
When he was nine years old and walking home from school one day, he found stray dog. Leroy decided to take the dog home and hide him in the bedroom, despite his father strictly forbidding dogs. He got away with it for a while, but one night, a crow flew in the bedroom window and the dog barked so loud, it woke up the whole house. After that his dad punished him, but he still got to keep the dog, he named him Apollo, whom he loved very much. When Apollo got hit by a car, young Leroy become angry so he would lash out without thinking and getting into fights. After he saw this, his father taught him fishing to “help him see straight”. After Jackson taught him to fish, he showed young Gibbs how to swing a hammer. His quote about woodworking was, "There's a lot in this world you can't make right. But the wood you can always make right, and that's a start."
Later, his father helped him build his very first boat, named "Chickadee", a nickname his father Jackson called his mother Ann. Her quote about building boats was "A boat named after a person will live forever." That's when he got his love of building boats and other things by hand with hand tools. Young Gibbs would spend all his time out in the garage working on some project, even though they didn't have electricity out there.
When he was nine, Gibbs he had become deeply upset that John Sydney, who was Gibbs' family friend and used to live with them, had left without a word.
At the age of 14, when his mother died of cancer, it was revealed that she had actually committed suicide so that her husband and son would not have to watch her suffer, leaving Jackson a widower and also forcing him to raise young Leroy all by himself. Unknown to younger Gibbs, Jackson blamed his best friend L.J Moore for her death as she had confided in him about what she was going to do and he had not stopped her, with this secret breaking apart their friendship and neither Gibbs nor his father seeing Moore again for many decades.
After his mom Ann died, Gibbs does not take it very well, Jackson noted that made young Leroy very mad and he knows how much he hated Jackson for getting on with his life. Jackson saw the look in his son’s face, knowing how younger Gibbs wanted vengeance and he going to find someone to take it out on and it didn't matter what his father said. Following that, Leroy Gibbs started fishing more again.
During bicentennial, Gibbs faced confrontations with Chuck Winslow and Ed Gantry and he often provoked violence with defiance to his father, who constantly came to his unwanted aid with his special Winchester rifle. He became captivated by local girl named Shannon Fielding, who he first saw in a window at the local clothing store “Ellen’s Dress Shop”, where she was dressing a mannequin in the window, who he would properly meet for the first time before being deployed.
After graduating from high school, rather than going to college, Gibbs chose to join the United States Marine Corps instead and he left Stillwater in summer of 1973 or 1976[3] and had little contact with the town for over thirty years. At the train station, Shannon asked why Leroy was fighting with Chuck and Ed and he said it over something stupid. Then she asked him his name and he introduced himself as Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Then she looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm just gonna call you Gibbs", and he then said, “You can call me anything you want”, and after that, she then said, “I'm Shannon”. It's later revealed that Shannon inspired Gibbs to create his rules as she was creating her own set of rules to live by.
Later Gibbs shipped to Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Parris Island for recruit training, gaining the serial number 817657329 in which he added a G after to close friends. During basic training at Camp Lejune, he befriended fellow Marine PFC Joan Matteson, before Gibbs could really get to know her, Matteson along with several other Marines were killed in a helicopter crash on April 3 of 1974, after she was deployed to Okinawa, Japan.
Later Leroy and Shannon started dating. And according to Jackson, that vengeful look on his face went away when he met Shannon, but it came back after his family died, but later Gibbs stated that never went away.
Gibbs's early years in the Marine Corps were with the Military Police in Camp Lejeune, he lived in his on-base house. He rose to a Non-Commissioned Officer rank of Sergeant. As a Marine, Gibbs befriended Dwayne "King" Pride, Bushnell, Patrick Kiley, Charles T. Ellison and Kevin Maloney, people he would once encounter during his time as an NIS/NCIS agent.
In 1980 he being accepted to Scout Sniper School in Camp Pendleton. Following that, he broke up with Shannon out of fear her losing him because of his future deployments via phone call. In DC while going to buy/pick suit to going on wedding of his buddy, he was abducted by Ringo Zucado and after Donald “Ducky” Mallard accidentally saved him by crashing into Ringo's car. After giving his story to NIS and he meet Ducky here, they spend 3 days of drinking together in various bars.
Later they were abducted by Ringo's cousins & beat up for info about Ringo's bag by Jonny Zucado, Gibbs up until he knocked out a tooth. Thanks to Ducky, they were spared. Following that he and Ducky trying find NIS mole to arrest Johnny. Before Gibbs' departure to Scout Sniper School in California, Gibbs tried convince Ducky to join NIS, that he can have another chance arresting Zucado and he can tell his stories to a "captive audience" (corpses). While Ducky tried convince Jethro to reconcile with Shannon, saying that which true love hard to find, it's needed to fight for because it may never come around again, and he did not want him to make the same mistakes as he did with Maggie. Later he said that hoped that they meet one day again, then Gibbs said that he got a feeling that they might.
After taking advice from Ducky, Gibbs called Shannon, went back to Stillwater and presumably he proposed to her and she said yes. A 11 weeks later Gibbs became a Scout Sniper. Later he and Shannon married in late November/early December of 1981 (or 1982[4]). He got along with Shannon' parents, they were happy that Shannon married Jethro and Shannon send Christmas Cards to Jackson. On August 16, 1982 (or 1984[5]), Jethro and Shannon had a daughter they named Kelly Gibbs. Thier family constantly lived whenever where Gibbs was stationed. When Kelly was young toddler, Gibbs was transferred to new base, she witnessed argument between her mother and her husband about that, then Gibbs took her and Kelly in truck and he draw away them from Joann. They move into their new home in Alexandria, Virginia, when Gibbs transferred to MCB Quantico (possibly). They family lived there until Gibbs was transferred to MCB Camp Pendleton.
He rose from Sergeant to Gunnery Sergeant rank. He saw several overseas deployments. During 1989-1990, Gibbs was served on tour of duty in Panama (Operation Just Cause). According to Gibbs, he waited in line six hours to buy Beary Smyles bear for Kelly on Christmas Eve of 1989.
In 1990, he was also deployed to Colombia on a classified mission to kill a drug lord, Cesar Castillo from the Cali Cartel, he took out him with one shot to the heart from 1,200 yards, but Gibbs was injured in the process. While he was being hunted by the cartel troops wounded up, he met pregnant Rosa Tamayo who hid him in her village and nursed him until his quick recovery.
In 1990 when he was transferred to MCB Camp Pendleton, they followed to live with him and they bought the house here and same month he gets deployed in Iraq. He also served in the Operation Desert Storm (First Gulf War) with the 1st Battalion 1st Marines, while his Commanding Officer was Lt. Col. William Ryan. During the Desert Storm, Lieutenant David Cameron died in Gibbs' arms during a battle after trying to save Gibbs' life.
In February 14, 1991, in Oceanside Shannon and Kelly witnessed the murder of a Marine Sergeant Tanner by Mexican drug dealer Pedro Hernandez, then Shannon agreed to testify against him, with her and their daughter Kelly being placed under the protection originally by NIS Special Agent Bernard "Randy" Randolf, but later asked off because his son was suffering from colic, and NIS Special Agent Kurt Mitchell took over for him. However, in February 25, 1991 during transportation, Mitchell was shot in the head by Hernandez (been ordered by Benson Long) while he was driving them and died instantly, both Shannon and Kelly died when the van crashed into a wall.
During his deployment in Desert Storm, Gibbs received the news that both Shannon and Kelly had been murdered. Being understandably grief-stricken and devastated, he was wounded by walking during an engagement (intending to commit suicide) and was left comatose, when he treated by Dr. Todd Gelfand. After that he evaded to Frankfurt for operation, then from Frankfurt Hospital he was air-lifted to Bethesda Naval Hospital. He was in a coma for nineteen days under Dr. Lin who watched over him until he woke up in March of 1991. As he had been wounded in combat with an enemy force, Gibbs was awarded the Purple Heart medal.
Gibbs was an in-patient of Bethesda at least until late April of 1991, after that he visits Shannon and Kelly's graves at Virginia. After that Gibbs gets back home in San Diego, he didn't have the will to enter his house, because it was too hard to go inside ('cause memories of his deceased family) and tried/thinking to commit suicide again by shooting himself in head with his own gun (Beretta) on beach. Following that he decided instead rent an apartment and he met Ruth Orozco, his building manager. During that, Gibbs met NIS Special Agent Michael "Mike" Franks from NIS Camp Pendleton Field Office, who was alongside with his team investigated the deaths of Shannon and Kelly, he told him about Hernandez and showed him the van, where they and agent Mitchell was killed.
During medical leave, Gibbs was frustrated that Hernandez escaped to Mexico and he still had not had a “proper” funeral for Shannon and Kelly, the still grieving he started frequently calling Franks numerous times and showed up to talk to him about Pedro Hernandez, but Gibbs didn't get any answers about/from him. Following that, Gibbs would still continuously called and badgered NIS Camp Pendleton Office (including Mary Jo Hayes), including after drinking before Franks confronted him, then Gibbs accused Franks that he was too scared of losing his job or getting hit by the Reynosa Cartel before they start fighting. After that Gibbs collapsed to Franks' arms and started confessing that he didn't want live anymore and is why/how he got wounded. And he can't live if Hernandez still is out there and got away with murdering his family. Later after that confession, when Gibbs visits Franks in the Pendleton Office, Mike decided he'd leave a file with information about Hernandez (after him saying that he was going to take a leak), Gibbs started investigating and he finds Pedro's location due to a photo in the newspaper that revealed Pedro's partial license plates in the photo. In July that year, Gibbs, removing the bandages from his injuries, travelled to Mexico and shot Hernandez in revenge with his sniper rifle over 1,000 feet away. He was shot in the head. Later, the Reynosa Cartel cover up Pedro's murder as him being alive and not wanting them seen as "weak".
Following that, Gibbs stopped at Camp Pendleton after deciding leave Marine Corps, because he felt he didn't deserve to wear the uniform anymore and he wish it did, but it doesn't. After that, he returned to his apartment he called his dad at the General Store to want to inform his father that he discharged from Corps via voicemail knowing its closed at Tuesday morning, but Jackson picked up/answered call, 'cause he stopped by here to get his glasses, thinking that his son stopped on base for gets cleared for duty, but Leroy didn't deny that and said lying that somebody's on the other line, then ended call saying that he called him back.
After that he starts messing up his room, in result he been kicked out of apartment for disturbing the peace for the 15th time by Ruth. The homeless Gibbs started living in his truck for days and tried reaching Franks, who was avoiding him, to bear his soul because too much for him to bear alone. During a rainy night, Ruth came across him and brought him back to the apartment on the condition that he fix all of damages and she approve them once they're done. and she would be keeping his security deposit.
Later, he befriends Ruth over solving many jigsaw puzzles. One night, she call out Gibbs, saying he needed help, wash his hair and to get a job, because he was no better than the homeless guys going through her garage. A couple of days later, Gibbs started working at the grocery store, bagging groceries. He got a lot of compliments from the customers because everything he learned at his dad's store was paying off. A week went by, Ruth started coming back over with the puzzles. They'd do a few hours at night when he got home from work. Once Ruth said to him that he looked like crap in his apron, but Gibbs was pretty sure that she said that because she knew that work was not his purpose.
One day at the store, he met up Mike Franks and his girlfriend Tish before trying to talk about Mexico, but Mike wanted to avoid the conversation, while Tish tried convincing him to talk with Gibbs. After he tried to walk away from Gibbs because Gibbs not gonna let him off that easy and Mexico was too big to carry on his own, Mike told him that Gibbs was not his problem, because he knows either Gibbs looking for intel that he doesn't have or he wanted to confess about killing Hernandez. He also advises Gibbs to find a new purpose, because he was too bright to be bagging groceries.
After that shift, Gibbs and Ruth tried to chase her robbers, they ended up on beach and drinking beer. After Ruth revealed that she messed up her son's life (who lives in New Orleans and he’s an architect) for a whole lot of years and makes sense why he doesn't want to talk to her anymore, Gibbs confesses to her he killed the man who killed his family and now feels good to have somebody else that knows that. He apologizes for dumping that information on her and he understands if she doesn't want to come over to him anymore. After that little confusion, Ruth told him what she saw in him: That he was a guy who managed to hunt down a killer that no one else could find and also that he was ready to chase down her robbers without thinking twice, that he paid attention, that he noticed what music she liked and cared about a bruise on her arm. And she said out loud what his gut had been telling him for weeks: that if he went all in, if he got himself together, he could make a pretty good cop.
In August of 1991, Gibbs wanted to join the NIS, presumably having been impressed and inspired by Franks, despite latter avoiding him and Gibbs went over to the NIS Twentynine Palms Field Office, but being a Marine helped him get approved quickly and they said to him that he would be their probationary agent when he graduated from FLETC. Following that, Gibbs was in Glynco, Georgia for the next two months. FLETC's physical training was easy to him, after Scout Sniper School and deployments (including Desert Storm). But his problem was that his head still wasn't right. He thought maybe he bit off more than he could chew, but Ruth said otherwise, "The comeback's always stronger than the setback." And sometimes, she'd add a few other words of encouragement. Ruth's letters meant everything to Gibbs, she became a big sister to him.
In October of 1991, Gibbs graduated from FLETC with being top of his class and he rushed to get home and prove Ruth that she was right about him. He said to her about his appointment at NIS and that she damn good big sister to him. Then she congratulated him, Gibbs noticed another bruise, she confessed about having blood cancer. Later he has an appointment at NIS for psychological evaluation, he failed his psych eval and the psychologist didn't have to say it to him, but Gibbs saw that it was all over his face.
Following that, Gibbs got to Daly's Tavern and he calls Ruth to asking why she was hiding her illness from him before he left for Georgia and stated he wasted two months for time they could have had. Then she told that helping him to become the man he meant to be is the only good thing she ever did. He told her that he failed his psych eval and he is sorry to let her down. After Gibbs hung up phone, he went to the jukebox, where he listened to Blue Bayou, which annoyed some Marines, who try to turn it off, only for Gibbs to start fighting them. All of them were arrested before he was then bailed out by Ruth. Before bailing he calls Ruth drunk and once again confessed her about killing Hernandez. Unbeknownst to Gibbs, Franks was also there because he got a call from Smitty. Ruth confronted him how he was abandoned Gibbs and Gibbs thinks Franks' great, because he's the whole reason Gibbs picked NIS. Following that Franks decided to hire Gibbs with approval from SAC Cliff Wheeler and informed his team about their new team member.
After the brawl, he hears from SAC of Twentynine Palms said that they're pulling their job offer, Gibbs once again start fighting at Daly's, this time, with a bouncer named Todd, who accidentally nudged the former. After the fight was stopped by MPs and was about to be reported when Franks came over and says that he told the Twentynine Pines office to pull the offer, told Gibbs he passed his psych eval and now Gibbs was working for him. Franks handed Gibbs temporary credentials and told him to go to Camp Pendleton Office tomorrow morning at 08:00 and meet with agent Randolph. On the morning of his first day of work, he saw Shannon's face and heard Kelly's laughter in his dream, it was enough for him to want to crawl back in bed, but then he heard Ruth's voice in his head saying, "Leroy, quit being a little bitch, get up and go to work."
At some point, Gibbs managed to track down Ruth's son so that she can spend her last of her days with him in New Orleans.

He was nowhere near the area. Gibbs was trying to figure out who was involved when Franks shows up at the mall. After seen Franks show up he realizes Prado. Gibbs was still in trouble, but he did convince Franks that Emmett’s killer was still out there. Prado wasn’t even that bad of a guy. He was smuggling guns into El Salvador that were going through a civil war. He knew that the American government would be focusing on giving a dictator power. And no one thought about the dissidents.

The bigger concern for everyone was how Hatcher knew they found Mildred. Hatcher’s father was questioned and he didn’t know how his son got the information. What he did know was why he killed Briana. Briana was teaching science. She took samples from a nearby lake and she noticed it was contaminated. The dairy company was dumbing chemicals into the lake because it would have been too expensive to get rid of it safely. And so that’s why Briana had to die. The woman that operated the company was also a part of the search party looking for Briana. She knew when Briana was found and she passed it along to the hitman. The company will now face charges for the dumping. The owner will now face first degree murder charges for the hit she put out on Briana.

Later on morning he and Franks had breakfast at Daly's and Todd asked Gibbs, who he become friends with and occasionally come over for the game at his place or Daly's, asking later for coming at his place for ribs, cause Smitty don't thinks ribs would sell on the menu.

But Gibbs asked Franks investigate wallet robbery 'cause of picture, despite later not wanting it, but he agrees to investigate with him after Gibbs repeat his words about making people whole, even when your life stinks. Later in forensic lab he wants calling in the forensic accountant Esther Watkins for his credits cards, but Vera tells about mystery man, who calls and cues Bugs to call him on that pay phone today and after Bugs decides not to talk to her.
After they find 3 bugs in the office Gibbs and Franks sorted Roger out for potential culprit. But when Vera, after interview with Bugs, reveals that Bugs don't kill Melanie and real Sandman is still out there, probably with Bugs to be his spotter. Later she mentions “Operation Sundown”, Gibbs recalls seeing some shredded documents about that, suggesting that someone was trying to destroy the evidence and in basement he with Lala seen retrieve and trying puzzled up it, before Bugs could say anything he was assassinated inside the prison by Sandman on San Diego Water Supply roof.
In "Darlin', Don't Refrain", the team tried identify of the sniper known as Sandman. “Operation Sundown” is revealed to have been a CIA assignment where four snipers from Flintport Security were assigned to protect a CIA asset and his family. However, Rayburn, the guy in charge of Operation Sundown wanted the bigger payday. He ordered his men to abandon the family and the family was killed because of them. The "mission" that Bugs referred to before his death was that they were seeking revenge on the rest of the Flintport bosses for those murders.
Gibbs was put in charge of watching Vera’s interview tapes with Bugs, but he didn’t think he’d get anything from it. Gibbs heard from Randy that Lala got roughed up by someone freaking out about the Sandman, but she said she okay. Later he hears Bugs butchered Napoleon's quote. Gibbs recognized that quote, he heard it at the Veteran Support Group. He suspected Luke Fletcher, who organized the support group and used to be a sniper in the Gulf War, to be the serial killer, but Gibbs he didn’t tell his team or the FBI. He went to his house, where his suspicion was confirmed, finding secret room with full information. After that Fletcher holds him at gunpoint, then Gibbs, who fells betrayed, suspect that VA was cover for gathering military information, but Like says that he care everyone in his group, including Gibbs, but Gibbs don't believe him. They have fight, unfortunately, Gibbs had to use dead force to stop Fletcher, who tried chocked him to death, stabbing him in leg & stomach. Following that Gibbs confronted him, Luke confessed about his revenge, saying that Safar family deserved to be protected or revenged and his bosses deserved. But Gibbs asked about innocent victims, who caught stray fire, but Luke, who ignored his question about innocent victims, stated that Bugs was with him on that family mission & beach and was like his brother like Gibbs. Then he stated that snipers are protectors, but Gibbs responded that they are killers too. Meanwhile Gibbs tried applied pressure to the wound, but it did little to stop the bleeding, but Fletcher's breathing became shallow, and then stopped before emergency services arrived.
Following that he bought to hospital, then later Franks just brought him home from the hospital. Then at home Randy writes up his statement and Lala decided staying by Gibbs' side to care for him.
In "Cecilia", after paying rent and bringing some mahogany wood planks for woodworking, Gibbs receive phone call from Jackson, who wants have time with his son. During their reunion in Daly's, Jackson want helps Leroy sell his family house and encourages Gibbs to organize a funeral for Shannon and Kelly, which help him come to terms with their deaths.
Following that conversation, Lala went at Daly to inform Gibbs about investigation of Hernandez's murder by USMC Military Police Criminal Investigator Lara Macy and her suspicion of him killing Hernandez, but Macy reaches out to Lala first, hoping to get her to help with the investigation into Gibbs' involvement, due his phone call to Ruth she overheard in night he was arrested for bar brawl. In Franks’s house three of them tried summarizing that Macy knew. Then Gibbs decided to tell Macy truth and not wanting investigation involved them, but Franks and Lala are already involved, then they instructed him how avoid it by denying it and tell them about Macy's questions.
On interview in his apartment, Macy questioned him about Hernandez but Gibbs, by instruction, denied about killing Hernandez, saying that personal rifle (M40A1) stolen out of his truck in last April and then Gibbs starts questioning her about bullet and body examination. So when conversation gets heat up by Gibbs saying she wants this investigation to be her ticket to law school and JAG, but in end Macy stated she have reliable source, who said that he shot Hernandez.
Later in one of office's basement rooms, he tells Mike and Lala about Macy' source, then Mike tells that Macy's JAG contact was legit. Then they arguing about tell Randy truth about Gibbs, but they roped Randy in by telling him everything anyway. They went to speak to Flaco and nearly got killed for stopping Flaco’s guys from killing someone else and so Lala had to pull a gun on Flaco’s mother, it's got them out of the situation safely.
After standoff, later in Frank's house Franks still suspecting Lala, then they have loyalty, later Randy worried about meeting Macy and all of them have fight about that. Gibbs felt guilty about causing the rift between them and drag them down with him. Later then he tried to do the right thing by digging up the rifle from where he buried it, in night he visited Macy's place and turn the the rifle in to her, which that admits he killed Hernandez, with the one thing that Gibbs asked for in return was that his team was to be kept out of it and Macy promises it. Later Gibbs went looking for Lala for talk, knowing he can found her in the neighbor’s pool, he joining her and they almost kissed, but it didn’t happen because he told her what he did with the riffle. But Lala was so angry with him, stating he just like Franks, who that he acts for himself and does not realize this is that affects anyone around them. Unbeknownst to Gibbs, Lala steps in and goes to Macy's house to take the rifle back, but after Macy's resiliency she lies to Macy claiming responsibility for the shooting and they planned everything together.

During Bosnian War, Gibbs was served on tour of duty in Bosnia with Col. Bushnell, then they returned to Brcko, two days after NATO ordered us out, to witness Brcko massacre. (That doesn’t entirely fit with Gibbs’s timeline if he was there as a Marine or maybe he was a reservist.)
On his second year at NIS, he (alongside with Franks) investigated case. Marine sergeant (alongside with his best friend) takes his 10-years old son hunting for first time. Mike joked about that they were chasing wild geese few times and Gibbs laughed each time, 'cause he worked for him back then. On hunt the kid accidentally shoots the friend, killing him.

NCIS: Origins Season 1
During his retirement in Alaska, Gibbs began writing his journals chronicling his first years as a NIS/NCIS agent.
In “Enter Sandman” he narrates that 'this is story of her.' By 'her' he meant Lala Dominguez, implying that she is going to be the center of his story. It has already been established that this story still haunts him.
Personality
A man of few words, Gibbs is known for his glare which can have others, whether it be his fellow NCIS colleagues or criminals talking in seconds or shutting up immediately. He is a gruff man who speaks his mind and has a dislike towards political red tape as well as politics and lawyers. He comes of as strict and as a person with no humor, but he is still a person everyone respects and looks up too. He hates waste of time and is a very impatient person. He cares deeply for other people, and find his work to be extremely important. Gibbs is not good at talking about emotions or showing feelings, but he does care for all of his team members and have a different dynamic with all of them. He is describes by DiNozzo to be a functional mute, as often his silence is a language in itself. He is very protective of the people he loves and will break the rules to protect them. He is extremely intelligent, often seeing solutions and cracking the case before anyone else does. He is also described as fearless.
He is also known for his head slaps. As well as always finding out secrets and standing behind people when they talk about him.
His relationship with modern technology is vitriolic, to say at least. He smashed a smartphone McGee gave him and threw an iPhone that Phil gave him to a fireplace and he always prefers a flip phone, seemingly refusing to give it up but also that it is easier for him to use. He stomped a Roomba to pieces, is unfamiliar with websites and social media or how they work, and shot a computer. In some episodes, he also doesn't keep up with modern times, as revealed in one episode that he had no clue who the Kardashians are. He loves his coffee and have a serious addiction to caffeine; at one time having to be withhold coffee for a few days for medical reasons but a particularly stressful case forced him to forego the restriction. His days are often ruined unless he gets his morning coffee.
Not long after Tony's and Abby's departure from the team, Gibbs began facing strong emotional situations from current and past events, getting closure to moments he kept hidden as far back as when he was a child. He began to open up a bit more to those around him and began expressing himself more once he started to overcome some of these events.
Abilities
As a former Marine, he has the ability to fire a sniper from over 1000 feet away and still hitting his target (As shown in flashback episodes when he killed former Drug Cartel Leader Pedro Hernandez). As a former NCIS Special Agent, Gibbs usually showed his ability of being able to catch the bad guy when they run by taking short cuts and being a few steps ahead of them. Therefore, they end up giving themselves up to him as they are often too exhausted by that point to fight back. He also carried his SIG and rarely missed his target. He has more unique range of abilities, many of which have made him a great asset to the NCIS Agency.
Hand to Hand Combat
During his time in the Marines, Gibbs presumably learnt how to fight and is an exceptionally skilled fighter, able to subdue opponents. This had helped him in the long run when chasing or fighting the bad guys.
Intelligence
He is extremely intelligent when it comes to human behavior and tactical methods, often seeing solutions and cracking the case before anyone else does. As he is highly aware of what most people do during certain situations, Gibbs can often plan ahead to prevent a serious outcome from taking place.
Thanks to being an agent and his military training, Gibbs often relies on this training to figure out what to do when in critical situations and how to best disarm hostile enemies with either firearms or hand to hand methods.
Knives
Gibbs always followed Rule number 9, "Never go anywhere without a knife." This skill with knives had helped in several occasions and has been one of the rules that his team follows most.
Firearms
Gibbs is impeccable when it comes to firearms. He is a former Marine and was trained in sniper training and can shoot his target over 1000 ft. away.
Medical Training
He had some medical training that he learned from the Marines. This came in handy when he helped Marine Lieutenant Emma Reynolds give birth in the back of the NCIS car at a garage in the Newborn King (episode).
Interrogation
He is a very skilled interrogator. His method of speaking to suspects was often described by Tony and McGee as suspects willingly confessing through tears than wanting to face Gibbs, Tony once mentioning to Penelope Langston that even Atila the Hun couldn't face Gibbs.

- Hollis Mann - Hollis was Gibbs' serious relationship for a while. They had a mutual break-up after Hollis put in for retirement, and Gibbs did not appear to be as ready to commit.
- Margaret Allison Hart - Margaret was a lawyer to Col. Merton Bell. Although they opposed each other several over several cases, they were also attracted to each other sharing a cold piece of pizza and a beer together on some occasions.
Dr. Samantha Ryan - Samantha who is a psychologist, her and Gibbs' relationship was very short. She assisted Gibbs and his team on several cases but he was often annoyed by her mental mind games on him and others.
Jacqueline Sloane - Jacqueline "Jack" Sloane had shared a close bond with Gibbs. Their bond was so close to the point the other team members questioned if Gibbs and Sloane had a "thing." During the time at NCIS, they viewed each other as reliable and trustworthy co-workers. The two share a kiss in Sloane's final appearance.
Friendships:
- Donald Mallard - Ducky and Jethro have been close friends for many decades. He is the only person Ducky allows to call him "Duck". Even though Gibbs is a hard man to get to know and they are very different individuals, the two of them are very close and considers each other to be family. They also respect and protects one another and value each other's advice and opinions. They grew even closer when Dr. Mallard had his heart attack.
- Michael Franks - Mike Franks was Gibbs' former mentor when Gibbs joined NIS shortly after his wife and daughter were killed. Mike also helped Gibbs get through his trauma when he almost died in a terrorist bombing on a ship.
- Tobias Fornell - He has formed a rather brotherly bond with Tobias over the years, due to both being divorced by Diane. Gibbs calls the man by his first name on a regular basis and earning himself the title of Uncle Gibbs to Emily Fornell. They have a strained work relationship because of their sometimes-conflicting interests, because they work for different agencies, but they still respect one another. Fornell often drop buy Gibbs' basement and have a talk. The pair were very close, Tobias even hinting at one point that he was aware of Gibbs having killed Hernandez back in 1991. At one point when Gibbs is pushing him away emotionally—out of guilt—Tobias tells his friend, “Gibbs, this is me! This is me. You do this to other people; not to me." Tobias is the main reason why then FBI Agent Alden Parker decided to let Gibbs go in Season 19. As Parker would put it, "Let's just say he convinced me that you don't belong behind bars."
Colleagues:
- Leon Vance - Leon Vance was hired on as the new Director of NCIS by SECNAV (Secretary of the Navy) after Jenny Shepard was killed in the season 5 finale. He and Gibbs sometimes butt heads when it came to certain protocols and criminals. It took them both a long time to trust one another and they are not close, but they have a working relationship that gets things done. They also have some sort of mutual respect and he gives Gibbs a long leash because he trusts Gibbs' gut. Leon and Vance became closer when Gibbs' team investigated the death of Leon's wife Jackie Vance and the Director of Mossad and Ziva's father Eli David.
- Stanley Burley - Stan Burley worked together with Gibbs at NCIS before being transferred out to another location. He revealed to Tony that it was two years before Gibbs would even look Stan in the eyes and another 4 years before he got his name right.
- Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo - Even though they are very different individuals they have built up trust towards each other. Gibbs is often annoyed with DiNozzo's no stop chatting and movie referrals, but at the same time appreciates the fun and more juvenile vibe he brings into the team. Tony has massive respect for Gibbs and trust him 100% and is always the most loyal to Gibbs out of all the other team members. In Season 7, Episode 12 Flesh and Blood when Gibbs first met Tony's father he gets "defensive" over Tony. Gibbs also questions Tony's father about his relationship with his son and is vocal about his disappointment over that he does not know his son as a grown man. He stands up for Tony as an individual and calls him "one of the finest young agents he has ever worked with. In Tony’s last scene of NCIS, he tells Gibbs, “I would say thank you, but I don’t think it quite cut it.” The relationship Tony has with Gibbs is one of a special kind.
- Abigail "Abby" Sciuto - The relationship with Gibbs and Abby is one of a kind. Gibbs treats Abby like his daughter and loves surprising her. He would take her out for dinner the evening before her birthday every year and using her first language—American Sign Language—with her on many occasions. He has massive respect for her, and she is definitely the one person at NCIS he is the most patient with. He buys her Caf-Pow almost every day, while he rarely buys anything for the other team members.
- Caitlin "Kate" Todd - Jethro and Kate were also like father and daughter. They first met when Kate was a Secret Service Agent. Kate ended up getting killed in the Season 2 finale when the man they were hunting (Ari Haswari) shot Caitlin in the head with a sniper rifle. It is visible that Gibbs had respect for her as an agent and that the respect was mutual.
- Timothy "Tim" McGee - Although he never really understood McGee's technical language, Gibbs trusted McGee greatly when it came to computers. At the same time, he knew McGee well and knew that he potentially could not lie to others so he would work things so that McGee's confessions were true while keeping him in as less trouble as possible.
- Ziva David - Ziva saved his life early in season 3 and it is mentioned by Ducky that she was the team member he started trusting the soonest. He calls her "Ziver" and has stuck his neck out for her many times, when her loyalties have been questioned. He respects her skills and she views him as a father.
- Clayton Reeves - Gibbs respected Clayton for his work and him as well. Especially after Clayton lost his life after he tried to defend himself and Abby when they got mugged.
Gibbs' Rules
In the episode "Heartland", Gibbs is revealed by flashbacks to have met his first wife, Shannon Fielding, while waiting at the Stillwater train platform in summer of 1976/1972, where she tells him about her rules for life that would inspire a similar set of Gibbs' own that he now teaches to his subordinate agents at NCIS - his own series of around ninety rules that he now lives by (with the rules in the forties and above supposedly used for emergency situations).

Trivia
- Most people refer to him as Gibbs, but there are a few exceptions. His father, Jackson Gibbs, his ex-wife Diane Sterling, and his namesake, Leroy Jethro Moore, called him Leroy. Shannon Gibbs, Mike Franks, Donald Mallard, Jennifer Shepard, and a few others used Jethro instead. **Interestingly, Abigail Sciuto, the former NCIS Chief Forensic Specialist, consistently called him Gibbs despite the obvious close relationship between the two. In contrast, he would call her both "Abby" and "Abbs".
- He, Timothy McGee, Jimmy Palmer and Donald Mallard are the only main characters to have met every other main character in the mothership.
- Gibbs' badge shows his NCIS Service Number # 8675309.
- The silver bracelet that Gibbs wears since beginning NCIS is actually an WWII medical alert bracelet that used to belong to Mark Harmon's father, Tom Harmon.
- On show later it’s revealed that bracelet belongs to Jackson Gibbs. Its WWII Air Force ID Bracelet with name and serial number "Jackson Gibbs 0732545".
- There have been a few inconsistencies in his age/birthdate and when joined Marine Corps:
- In NCIS ep. "Heartland" Gibbs makes reference to the fact that he joined the Marine Corps in summer of 1976, when the country was celebrating the bicentennial. If Gibbs joined when he was 17 or 18 years old, it's likely that Gibbs was born in 1957/1958/1959.
- In NCIS ep. "House Divided" his ID showed his birthdate was November 21, 1954, so he joined Corps at age of 21 years old. It's making his age at the time of JAG 2-part backdoor pilot/the first episode of NCIS 48 years old.
- However, in NCIS: Origins premiere "Enter Sandman", which set up in October of 1991, while still having same birthdate on NIS’ Temporary Special Agent credentials, he said he was joined Corps in at 18 and presumably it's still in summer, so he was joined in 1973.
- After reveal that Gibbs joined the Corps in summer of 1976, later in 1973 (after revealing his birthday was November 21, 1954 and he joined at 18 years old in summer), yet when he is discharged from the Marines in 1991 he was only Gunnery Sergeant (E-7). After 15/18 years as Marine he would be a higher rank than that, especially one as highly decorated as Gibbs whose commendations included Purple Heart, Silver Star and Bronze Star. It usually takes a Marine 6-8 years to reach the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, with Gibbs being well above average it would have been six years for him. After 15/18 years Gibbs would have been at least a Master Sergeant (E-8), a Marine can be promoted to that rank after eight years of total service & at least four years as a Gunny; and most are promoted by 10 years. He most likely would have been a Master Gunnery Sergeant (E-9), alongside Sergeant Major it is the highest enlisted rank in the Corps, except for the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps though only one Marine holds that rank at any given time; promotion to Master Gunnery Sergeant requires a minimum of 10 years of service. In fact Gibbs could not have remained a Gunnery Sergeant for that long, Marines who go too long without promotion are discharged due to poor performance; regulations in 1991 required a Gunnery Sergeant to be discharged if they went longer than six years without qualifying for promotion.
- Perhaps its cause from retconning JAG's backdoor pilot of NCIS where Gibbs was agent for 19 years (since 1984) and he was Marine reservist in rank of Gunnery Sergeant, later Gibbs become NIS/NCIS agent only in 1991. But NCISverse known for its continuous inconsistency and errors.
- He knows American Sign Language (ASL).
- He also knows Russian and Spanish languages.
- Gibbs's address is shown as "500 Block East Laurel St, Alexandria, VA" The address does not exist so Google Maps returns Laurel Rd, Alexandria, VA. Laurel Road ends at Gibbs Street.
- He used to never lock the front door to his house because he has already lost what was most important to him, and everything else can be replaced.
- After Margaret Allison Hart shows up in his house in season 7 episode 14 masquerade saying he doesn't lock his door, he gets a new lock which McGee notes in the beginning of season 7 ep 15 jack-knife.
- In season 15 he was seen both locking and unlocking his front door, even going so far as to give Jacqueline Sloane his keys in Skeleton Crew and telling her to lock the door when she leaves after having just met her.
- In the fourth episode of season 19, Great Wide Open, the mystery of how Gibbs got the boats out of his basement was finally revealed. It turns out he would break the basement wall to get them out and then rebuild the wall. However, it was alluded to much earlier in season 5 episode 14 Internal affairs McGee asks how he gets the boat out and Gibbs responds with "just break the bottle" a clear reference to a ship in a bottle alluding to the fact that he would break the wall down.
- There is an occasional error with his physical appearance during memories with Kelly. Some memories show him being younger/still an enlisted Marine while others showed him being in his more current appearance.
- During earlier seasons, Gibbs was shown to need reading glasses when reading files. However, when the glasses went missing, he is not shown to need them again.
