I was always struck by what a fine figure of a man R. Lee Ermey was. Good posture, trim waist, smooth confident stride. The perfect model for a military uniform catalog. R.I.P. R. Lee.

Ermy was a real man and loved our armed forces. Rest in Peace Legend

Kubrick having to ask the definition of "reach around" is hilarious. I would have loved to witness that conversation.

After being drafted, I went through Army basic training at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in early 1969. All my DIs were former 101st paratroopers and Vietnam combat veterans, who were the clone of THE Gunny. Remember, there was a serious shooting war going on and these DIs were required to get you ready for being deployed to Southeast Asia. That was a monumental task given the attitude of the recruits and the resentment of the war. I survived and met my DI 4 years later in Fort Bragg, he was my platoon Sergeant, as I was a 2nd Lieutenant. I will always be grateful to him for his service.

R. Lee Ermey's and Vincent D'Onofrio acting in this movie is perfect. Total respect for both

Having been there, Paris Island, in May of '69, I can tell you that this is the most realistic representation of Marine boot camp & DI's I've Ever seen.

I had always heard that Ermey got the job as the DI after Kubrick watched his audition tape and commented that he'd never heard someone curse for 15 minutes and never repeat himself. Ermey was a real piece of work and I've enjoyed every character I've seen him play throughout his acting career. RIP, Gunny

FMJ, an absolute masterpiece. After all these years i still watch it and love it.

My 1965 boot camp experience was pretty much like this movie, and our DI could swear like Hartman too. I’m no worse the wear for it and many of those boot camp lessons have guided me throughout my 75 + years.

R Lee Ermy was not a drill sergeant, he was a drill instructor.

I always loved how R Lee Ermey was nothing more than Kubricks Technical Adviser in the beginning and he ended up portraying one of the most iconic characters ever created.

Whereas Tim Colceri went on to play a small but also significant role as the door gunner

Man D'Nofrio is beyond amazing as an actor. His wide range is unbelievable. I have mad respect for him and his portfolio.

The drill instructor and training sequence at the start of the film is the best 👌

D'Onofrio in FMJ is amazingly different and almost not recognizable as the character in Law & Order. It's a testament not only to his body transformation, but his scary facial expressions. Fantastic video. Even more awesome movie.

Lee didn't steal the role...he earned it

Nobody could play D.I. Hartman better than Ermey. His experience in life shows true. He reminds me of a couple D.S's I had in my company during BCT.

As a young soldier I was stationed for a while where the boot camp chapter of the movie was filmed. I've run down the very same roads that the squad does in the movie. If you look carefully you will see the road markings are for right hand drive traffic as it is in the UK. It was a former air force base near Cambridge called Bassingbourn. This was the air base that the B17 bomber Memphis Belle flew out of during WW2.

Ermey was actually a really humble, approachable guy. A friend of mine happened to have a boat in the same marina and Ermey would always invite him to hang out on the boat.

We had a recruit in our platoon that was a Pyle. It pissed me off every time I saw him limping on light duty. They should have kicked him out but for some reason he not only was kept in but graduated on time. He did absolutely nothing the entire time. To make matters worse he had a picture of a good looking "girlfriend" on the Hog Board, as it was called. At one point everyone had to vote who had the best looking girlfriend/wife and whoever won got a free phone call. His girlfriend wasn't the best looking but so far out of his league that he got the most votes. Afterwards we found out it was his sister. He probably wound up a General.

I too was drafted in 71 and flew from LA to Ft Leonard Wood for basic. We had a lead drill Sgt who was very cool and one other who was a clone of Sam Elliott in both appearance and voice. Thanks for your guidance. The population of the USA back then was around 207 million yet only a very small percentage (8 M) actually served in the Vietnam theater of operations. I always wonder what fate befell those of you that endured. I salute you.
