I was in Platoon 282 in San Diego mid March to May 1966. Ermey was a DI there at that time but I never met him. I agree it's accurate except a couple things are twisted for artistic effect. My relatives didn't quite believe me that it was real. When we watched FMJ at the theatre I started laughing . No one could understand why.

R.I.P. Gunny. our family met him in early 2005, at the Cavalcade of customs in Cincinnati , he ended up staying almost 3 hours past his time to leave, missing his plane, taking his time with everyone & when his guys said several times it's time to leave sir, he said " I'm not leaving until everyone has seen me and got their pictures signed, these people paid good money and that's what they're going to get". We actually heard him say that!. we were dumbfounded, when I heard him say that and saw that it was genuine it really gave me a honest perspective on who the man was . he talked to us and our daughters and son and even came around the table picked up one of my daughters who was 2 years old at the time and took photographs with all of us and even allowed my buddy to take the time to shoot a small video. one of the most down-to-earth people I've ever met in my life, much respect with a tear in my eye.

They were hard but equal to all in training them to be men, warriors, and dedicated to the Marine to your left and right. Why were they hard on us? They wanted us to kick ass, take names, and NOT die. Thank God for generations of hard ass drill instructors.

[@earlmarshall6543]

My dad was a Marine DI and taught me everything he knew before I joined the US Army. Right from the get-go off the bus at FT. Leonardwood MO. I stayed in trouble, as I could out fight, out shoot, out lob, and out run the DI's there. But, it did get me out of the "First Timers bunks" and into the Re-Uppers. After Boot, I joined the Engineers as a Demo expert (12B30). The reason I joined the US Army was due to my dad knowing the Corps had become a bunch of "whiny, ass-grabbing, pieces of sniveling snot" (my Dads words) and he told me "if you ever join the Marines, you'll never see the bullet coming from my Riffle!" After Operation Enduring Freedom, I returned to FT. Leonardwood to teach demolitions, and in 2018 I Medically retired due to a buck-toothed Private not listening to my instructions and detonating me.

Great video guys. Massive respect for Gunny. Thanks for doing this

[@angeloc1340]

Matsimus he died what 😥

[@gunnardavis2162]

Raptor A yeah, he had pneumonia

[@logana1999]

don't call him Gunny, it was an honorary title given after retirement, he never earned it, the marines gave it to him for essentially being a hollywood mascot

[@atticusalzheimer2229]

He was completely FAKE - A total 100% attention whore. It's all documented...you were FOOLED by an ACTOR.

[@dinofalabrino5406]

@@atticusalzheimer2229 He was a veteran. Are you? If so, nice you would shit on another fellow veteran.

[@jass2085]

Fantastic tribute guys

[@converti76]

Thanks for the video, beautifull memories from this Film. RIP. Ronald Lee Ermey.

[@dondamon443]

Great man. Good actor. He will be missed. Semper Fi

[@johnnyvenom2912]

OORAH!

[@AlphaChimpEnergy]

If only all of us could make a living playing ourselves! What a dude!

[@GradyPhilpott]

I think maybe you have to be a Marine to understand that much of the persona of Drill Instructors is an act. When Ermey played a Drill Instructor in films, he was playing only one character in his repertoire. It was a role he mastered as the real deal, but nonetheless, he was as much an actor as any on any set anywhere.

Marines do not die. They go to hell and regroup. RIP gunny

[@blazzered2]

I believe the term is they go to Heaven because they’ve already been to Hell.

[@bonnierabbit1413]

Blazzered and when he gets to heaven to St Peter he will tell one more Soldier reporting sir I've served my time in hell 🐇

[@akstormtrooper508]

They go to hell to continue kicking ass. They're not the tortured, they're the torturers.

Semper Fi gunny. Mission accomplished ! Oorah !

[@tank5237]

He is going to the giant bootcamp in the sky, I will miss him

[@davidshettlesworth1442]

WOW! That brings back some old memories. 19 years old, MCRD San Diego California. Rifle qualifications at Camp Pendleton. Thank you R Lee Ermey and Stanley Kubrick, for getting the scene perfect. Yep, that did occur during boot camp "Spot On!" Challenging time but many of us made it through it. Semper Fi! Rest in Peace R Lee Ermey.

[@thebeachguy6697]

I rode on a CH 46 flight from the USS Iwo Jima to Bahrain back in 2008 with Lee Ermey and let me tell you this guy was a class act. We had a great conversation just about life in general. A 45 minute conversation just about life. Great man

[@sylviayoung1901]

That was amazing and summed him up perfectly...true man of Honor! Semper Fi and RIP Gunnery Sgt Ermey!!!

[@greengrower6563]

We lost a legendary man😢

[@optombomber2980]

May his memories and legacy rest peacefully in the well of allsparks

[@chrisj197438]

I hope everyone in heaven has removed jelly donuts from their foot locker

[@jwdickinson643]

And they keep the toilets so clean that the virgin Mary herself would be proud to take a dump. 🤣

[@jevonshepherd9214]

Rip Gunny! Much love and and respect thank you for all you have done in your time here on Earth save a spot for us up there love!

The truest line ever about Parris Island. " Home of the phony tough and the crazy brave". The island where true heroes are made. Semper Fi to all the crazy devildogs out there

[@hammersandoval1011]

R.I.P. it a shame the V.A. did not take care of your health better, you are missed by all 😭

[@ojsixx7183]

The Voice of Authority...R.Lee Ermey.

[@dylanrutan100]

Fair winds, following seas, Godspeed, and Semper Fidelis, Gunny.

[@fredrickmillstead2804]

The best thing I have ever done was enlist in the Corps. My DI's were Gunny incarnate. I learned, I grew, I matured faster than I ever thought possible due to them. DI's are the backbone of the Corps. Semper Fi.

[@willmcqueen5917]

This man should have a national holiday for him!!! What a legend he was!!!

[@Isaiah68Actual]

Rest well Gunny, for you are with God now. #NextMissionTimeNow #SendMe
