His depiction of the DI in Full Metal Jacket is the closest I’ve ever seen to my DI’s. Right down to the foul language and hands on approach. The Gunny is ok in my book! And as a previous combat engineer, I love to blow stuff up too!
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.
The 1956 flik The DI w/Jack Webb was/is best DI flik!!!!!

I watched Full Metal Jacket right after I got out of boot camp. Laughed my butt off with another marine from my boot platoon. We kept saying yeh I remember that.
Was only hit twice by the DI’s. Got yelled at by some women marine captain for swearing. They wanted PC but it didn’t happen haha.
Love The Gunny.
