    Oh that really sucks. I was a big fan of Gunny. Loved Mail Call and Gunnery Sargeant Hartman was an unforgettable movie character.

    From what I have read about it, his drill instructor performance in Full Metal Jacket, for the most part, was neither scripted nor rehearsed.
    Kubrick just gave a little direction and turned him loose with cameras rolling.
    He had played the part, for real, so many times he could have played the roll in his sleep.





    It was absolutely believable that he could drive Lenard to murder and suicide.

    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    RIP gunny, SIR!! the gunny has inspired me to not be a fag for a several decades. OORAH! I am a civilian responsible resident militia [well regulated]. my most powerful assault defense rifle is a US Model 1917 .30 cal Winchester. I am glad he does not have to continually witness this gay us gov. military actions against the foreign domestic enemies which are deepstate BZA army fags. his video testimonies are true to his person. his videography is his true testimony [not a false witness].

    Ermey's first role was that of SSgt. Loyce in "The Boys of Company C" where he played a Vietnam-era DI.

    IIRC he was a SSgt. when he retired from the Corps, then was reinstated a few years back so the USMC could promote him to a full Gunney. Any more info on that would be appreciated.

    I think he was an honorary Gunny. I am not sure how I feel about that, but he definitely was a Marine.

    The first time I heard him say that I literally fell out of my chair and rolled around on the floor laughing so hard the tears were coming out of my eyes. Good thing I was at a friend's house watching it on video rather than in a theater.

    Why wouldn't you want to make a complete asshole of yourself in a movie theater like you here do on JPP?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
