He was one of the reasons I tried to become a Marine.

obviously his role in FMJ was the best, but I loved his show Locked N Loaded on the history channel. When the history channel was actually good.

He single-handily made Full Metal Jacket as memorable and as great as it was. He stole every scene he was in. RIP

Since I was in the Marine Corps, I always loved the movie Full Metal Jacket. The boot camp scenes are so realistic. A few years back, I got to meet the Gunny. He was such an awesome guy.

Semper Fi and RIP Gunny

Wow, I’m actually a little surprised to learn he was only 74, that’s only two years older than my Dad. If you had asked me to guess his age honestly I would have guessed that he was closer in age to Clint Eastwood, who’s 87.

That's still one of my favorite movie insults.
