It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

I like the scene where he is holding up the heads of the 2 guys who fell asleep on guard and says; Not only did so and so get their heads cut off they lost the fifty f---ing caliber machingun!
quote:He didn't achieve that rank on his own. His highest rank was Staff Sergeant (E-6). He did serve in Vietnam, but in a staff/support role.
Yep and he has never tried to say any different. For that I salute him. [;)]
You refer to HONORARY Gunnery Sergeant Ermey. He didn't achieve that rank on his own. His highest rank was Staff Sergeant (E-6). He did serve in Vietnam, but in a staff/support role.
Yep
so many one liners he did hard to pick a good one and most would not ake it on the forum [:I]
That's right, he's Gunny Bunny.
Too old to live...too young to die...

Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any f--king effort to get to the top of the f--king obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your a-- up there by now, wouldn't he?
Private Pyle, whatever you do, don't fall down, it would break my f--king heart! (Pyle reaches the top, and pauses) Well, what are you waiting for, up and over! (Pyle pauses) Are you quitting on me? ARE YOU QUITTING ON ME?! Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy f--king walrus-looking piece of s--t! Get the f--k off of my obstacle! Get the f--k down off of my obstacle! NOW! MOVE IT! Or I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, IF IT SHORT-D--KS EVERY CANNIBAL ON THE CONGO!
Did your parents have any children that lived?
You're so ugly you can be a modern art master piece!
I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
I don't like the name Lawrence, only friends and sailors are called Lawrence. From now on you're Gomer Pyle.
What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?!
Marines are not allowed to die without permission!
I want that head so sanitary and squared-away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in and take a dump.
It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's * and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress.
God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your * belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand?
Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked s--t that high!
If it wasn't for d--kheads like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in this world, would there?
You had best unf--k yourself or I will unscrew your head and s--t down your neck!
Private Pyle I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-f--king-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-f--k you! ONE! TWO! THREE!
Private Pyle you had best square your * away and start sh--ting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely f--k you up!
Holy dog s--t. Texas? Only steers and atypicals come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down.
If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human f--king beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian s--t!
Get your fat * up there! I'll bet if there was some p--sy up there you would get up there, wouldn't you?
Who said that? Who the f--k said that? Who's the slimy little Communist s--t twinkle-toed c--ksucker down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy f--king godmother said it! Out-f--king-standing! I will P.T. you all until you f--king die! I'll P.T. you until your a--holes are sucking buttermilk. Was it you, you scroungy little f--k, huh?!
Private Joker? I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and f--k my sister.
I can't hear you. Sound off like you got a pair!
Were you born a fat, slimy, scumbag puke piece o' s--t, Private Pyle, or did you have to work on it?
Why you little maggot, you make me want to vomit!
What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?

Upon reflection, if he could have, he might have realized that just might not have been the best choice of words to yell at a guy aiming a loaded M14 at his chest. [;)]
I don't watch imaginary stuff known as movies, but I have met R Lee a couple times. As an actor, he's very good at mouthing lines written for him, but he isn't the sharpest bayonet in the scabbard.
It is better to paint on a blank canvas.

Next you'll say Colonel Sanders wasn't a Colonel or Captain Kangaroo wasn't a Captain. As for Gunny Ermey I think he'd make a great crazy uncle until he gets on his slope rant [:D].
Jimi Hendrix was also a Marine
Actually not. Army...
Jimi Hendrix was also a Marine
101st
He was a puking chicken.
He launches into Full Metal Jacket D.I. mode, "Well what the hell do we have here? What the hell are you doing on my movie set? Do you intend to smoke that joint and not offer it to me?" Everybody is stunned, and finally the guy holding the joint hands to to R. Lee Emery, and everybody laughs, and they all smoke the joint.
Like I say, my buddy's buddy swears it's true. Even if it's not, I wish I was.

Bugs Bunny (the cartoon character) was inducted into the USMC during WW II as a bond selling promotion and was discharged at the rank of Gunnery Sergeant.
That's right, he's Gunny Bunny.

And from what I found I think it was Master Sargent.
Capt Kangaroo was a Marine.
But was he a Captain?

No
quote:during World War II, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, but was still in the United States when Japan surrendered.
Never found a mention of rank.
quote:The U.S. Marine Corps were so thrilled that Bugs Bunny decided to become a Marine in this film that they insisted that the character be officially inducted into the force as a private, which was done, complete with dogtags. The character was regularly promoted until Bugs was officially "discharged" at the end of World War II as a Master Sergeant.[1]
My son gave me an "action figure" in full dress of him that spoke about a dozen of his favorite phrases. It was a hoot.

It was join or go to jail. Also, they pretty much let him go because he did not want to be there.
Clarabelle the clown (Howdy Doody) and Captain Kangaroo were the same guy: Bob Keeshan.
You are correct!!! was inserted to see if anyone was my age..We may be the only ones to know this..

Jimi was in the 101st and was a Supply Clerk. The 101st was an Airborne unit at that time but I don't think he went to Jump School. He was discharged for being a screw up that needed close supervision and was discharged after about 18 months TIS. He was forced to join the army by a Judge.
If you have never seen his discharge papers here they are. I guess he liked to use his hand for more than playing his guitar[:D]

Click on the second part of the link.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
You know what makes me sad? You do! Maybe we should chug on over to mamby pamby land where maybe we can find some self confidence for you, ya jackwagon!
Tissue? Crybaby....

It was sort of the whole "Full Metal Jacket" thing, just delivered in rated "G" format for kids.
