Every time I think I have a favorite line, I find a better one. Right now I'm stuck on "If God wanted you up there he would've miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't He?"
that's a war face. Now show me your war face
Joker: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Gunney: You don't scare me. Work on it.

Don't go all "Stripes" in this thread now.

who will fuck a guy in the ass and not have the common courtesy to give him a reach around. I'll be watching you.
Shoot. First Art Bell now this guy? This is turning out to be a shitty weekend.
He's doubtless shouting cruel comments at angels now. "YOU CALL THOSE WINGS, GABRIEL?! ARE YOU A DAMN ARCHANGEL OR A PIGEON?! DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY, YOU FUCKING DODO!"
I remember watching Mail Call on the History Channel during summer breaks. I always enjoyed when he would eventually get around to destroying some watermelons. Good memories. Rest in peace.
There were 3 seasons of "GunnyTIme with R. Lee Ermey" on the Outdoor Channel. Gonna miss that.
RIP, Gunny.
Exactly. Do not make that mistake in boot camp...
Marine Corps. In the early 80s we had Platoon Sergeant (head guy) and Sergeant Instructor (assistant). We spoke in the second person: "No Platoon Sergeant, this candidate does not have his head up his ass."
And don't you dare call them "Sir."
still operates the same way. Platoon Commander, Platoon Sergeant, Sergent Instructor. Whereas, Recruit Training is Senior Drill Instructor and Drill Instructors. At Recruit training they are just referred to as Sir, to get Recruits used to interacting with Officers.
Second person? You do have your head up your ass, don't you?

RIP Gunny. You were a great American and will be missed.
You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit!
RIP R. Lee.
You will be missed.
I just saw this on Facebook. He was more known for his great role in the movie Full Metal Jacket but he had so many memorable roles . Loved him in The Frighteners , Fletch Lives and he was also in an obscure movie called Hexed . Small role but funny movie
Also one of the voice actors in the Toy Story movies, was "Sergeant"...of course.
I enjoyed his work including on the History Channel.
Ermey started out as the technical advisor for FMJ. The guy originally cast as gunnery sergeant tired our after 30 minutes of yelling. Ermey stepped in and his energy never let up. Ermey came up with 150 insults on his own.

That is sort of true but not about the yelling part. See my post below regarding Tim Colceri. He went back to LA to prep for the role and Ermey came in as a technical advisor. Kubrick liked Ermey better for the role and gave it to him. There was no tired voice from shouting thing...
That's a real quote from him I think of now and then.
