Sad news, R. Lee Ermey has passed at age 74.

He was a former United States Marine Corps staff sergeant and an honorary gunnery sergeant; during his tenure in the U.S. Marine Corps, he served as a drill instructor."

He defined that role, and was memorable in others, too...RIP

He seemed to yell a lot.

Entertaining is small measures.

My friend Glenn was an actual Gunnery Sergeant, who was also a drill instructor... he did his 20 and didn't need to be an "honorary" gunny. He earned it.

But hey... dude did a movie, and got some kudos. Good for him.
