Some interesting facts about him.
"as a teenager, Ermey often got in trouble with the local authorities, and he had been arrested twice for criminal mischief by age 17.[2] After his second arrest, a judge gave him a choice between joining the military or being sent to jail; Ermey chose the military.[2]" "n 1961, at age 17, Ermey enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and went through recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in San Diego, California.[2] For his first few years, he served in the aviation support field before becoming a drill instructor in India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, where he was assigned from 1965 to 1967.[4] "Ermey then served in Marine Wing Support Group 17 at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa, Japan.[2] In 1968, he was ordered to Vietnam with MWSG-17, and spent 14 months in country. The remainder of his service was on Okinawa where he was advanced to staff sergeant (E-6). He was medically discharged in 1972 because of several injuries incurred during his service.[5] On May 17, 2002, he received an honorary promotion to gunnery sergeant (E-7) by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James L. Jones.[6]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Lee_Ermey |

****ing over n00bs is always fun to watch. A fun memory from my Boot Camp; waking up the first morning to some dude gently speaking for us to awake and eat his hand made breakfast served with a rose at each plate. Actually, he flipped the bright ass overhead lights on and was walking fast through the racks and yelling for us to GTFU (Up). Good times. |

Ya know, I was originally going to say dude was beating on a trash can too but chalked it up to an "Enhanced" memory. Maybe he did, my memory of that morning is now 35 years old.

The trash can thing only happened a couple of times for me in basic. Instructor came in one morning, beat the hell out of it, then he threw it down the bay.
