Erhmy gave me PI flashbacks. My FIL, who is USMC Ret., 2 tours in Nam and a DI, said that Erhmy acted just like him. My wife agrees. She won't watch FMJ with me.

"What side was that, Private Pyle?"
"Then you did that on purpose!" I've always loved how no answer can be the right answer. I've always wondered if they train DI's to be that quick witted with the comebacks, or if it's innate.

Quote HistoryWe had a guy when I went through "basic" who was a total shit magnet... A lightning rod... A superconductor. Everywhere we went, the cadre would yell "CHUBBS! WHERE'S CHUBBS?". You'd hear this meek voice from the back of the formation, "Sir, I am here!" "CHUBBS! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Again, with the meek voice, "Sir, I scored a fourteen hundred on the scholastic aptitude test!" We almost gave him a blanket party one night. |

After you're in basic a while(once you stop being terrified of them), you realize that some of the drill instructors are truly gifted actors. They all have routines worked out and have got a lot of practice harassing new joes. |

Quoted:
Loved the movie, mainly because I'm a huge fan of the book that it's (mostly) based on. So many of the scenes, after the boot camp portion, are almost word for word. If anyone's interested: http://www.amazon.com/Dispatches-Michael-Herr/dp/0679735259 ??? Thought the movie was based on "The Short-Timers" by Gustav Hasford? It is. There are also some things lifted from a book called "Run between the raindrops" |

I remember having to explain a quote to my buddy at work. He would quote the guy in the chopper. I don't remember it exactly, but it is along the lines of killing women and children. The part where he said it was easy, you don't lead them as much. After I explained how you have to lead a shot on a moving target, but women and children don't run as fast, so you don't have to lead them as much, his face was priceless.
Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well disciplined VC. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
He also did a lot of the running scenes with a bunch of broken ribs, courtesy of a Jeep accident. A tough motherfucker... His audition tape featured him howling verbal abuse at an imagined line of recruits for a solid fifteen minutes as oranges and tennis balls are thrown at him. He never broke character or repeated himself. I would pay.to see that tape |

 . I wouldn't say I dislike the second half, but between R. Lee Ermey being R. Lee Ermey and Private Pyle slowly going crazy, the first half is epic.

Every time I watch it I just grin REAL wide because every line, every syllable, every nuance is the real deal. The only difference in my experience was there was NO public abuse of recruits. That's not to say one or two shitbirds didn't get "counseled" in the shower, out of sight of the rest of the platoon. Otherwise, it was spot-on. |

I've always wondered if they train DI's to be that quick witted with the comebacks, or if it's innate. They are well trained and some do rehearse and plan things out. My FIL, as I said was a DI, and we have talked at length. When he picked up a new platoon, he would get 10-12 buddies to come over for the "meet and greet". I thought it was hell with 3 DIs. I can't imagine 10-12 running barking orders and screaming. The Series Commander walked in one day, let them finish and pulled him in the DI hut and made him stop. Than man has stories...He was a DI in the mid-late 60s. Yes, he thumped recruits. They sent him to MTU to mellow him out. He did 2 twos in Nam, including Tet. I truly believe he was trying to weed out non-hackers to keep them from getting killed in Vietnam.
Sammich maker says he was one tough SOB to have for a Dad. I can see it. Her brother joined the Navy, which I think disappointed him a little. I get mad props from him for being a Jarhead.

Deer Hunter Platoon Apocalypse Now We were soldiers Full Metal Jacket They all look very good. FMJ is great, but it's disturbing comedy genre. Sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Man, it looks good on bluray. The second part is disturbing enough. |
