Lee03 0 #30 January 13, 2004 Actually, R. Lee Ermey was medically retired from the Marine Corps at the rank of Staff Sergent, due to wounds he received in his second tour in Vietnam. The Marine Corps made him offically a Gunnery Sergeant after the film "Full Metal Jacket" and His Television Series "Mail Call" Ermey made his acting debute as a helicopter pilot in the movie "Appoclyps Now" He also played a Drill Instructor (as pointed out earlier, he was a D.I in the Corps) in the Movie "Boys of Company C" and played the Company Gunny Sergeant in the Movie "Purple Hearts". Was also a Drill instructor in the TV Series "Above and Beyond. "Mail Call' Is an outstanbding program, "Gunny" Ermey knows his stuff, is knowlegable is many areas of the military profession. Shorty after the release of "Full Metal jacket", I was on a D.I. exchange visit between the recruit depots of Parris Island and San Diego. I had the pleasure and privledge of being in a group of Drill Instructors that got to consume "several" cold beers with the "Gunny" in the Staff NCO Club at San Diego.

FallRate 0 #32 January 13, 2004 I was impressed and a bit shocked that Ermey's character turned out to be gay in "Saving Silverman". Seems he has a healthy sense of humor. FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
