The show with the Sgt Gunny has an outtake video that is supposed to be funny. Larry has seen it. He said he is reading a letter and goes completely OFF on whoever wrote it. I looked around, but can't find it. Maybe one of you can.

Look up out takes for the show Mail Call with R. Lee Ermey.
He is an entertainer, not a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant.
I don't think Hollywood ever knew enough about the real military to get it that right.
I was in San Diego MCRD for three months in 1972, so I know from where I speak.
He was a real DI.

Boot
Marine Corps boots- were more properly referred to as "Marine Corps Cadillacs".
But he was is a Marine and Made Staff Sergeant.
Fixed it, Gunny.[;)][:D]
When I was a gater sailor I knew several Gunnies who were at least as nuts as R. Lee Ermey. If it's all Hollywood he's pretty good at it.
Ermey was classic in this respect too! At least his recruits were convinced of it! [:D][:D][:D]
He was awarded the honorary rank of Gunnery Sergeant by the USMC several years ago, after he retired, so "Gunny" is a correct title. The only thing I don't like about GSgt. Ermey is his affinity for Glocks.
Glock pays him well to Sell Glocks.
If I had a Glock endorsement for what Glock pays R.Lee Ermy, I would have an affirmity for Glocks Also.
R Lee Ermey was is a Marine

He was pretty good in Apocalypse Now
He was great in Full Metal Jacket.
I missed him in Apocylapse Now.
