Dad, who fought in the Guadalcanal/Bougainville Campaign in the Marines absolutely HATED listening to R. Lee Ermey…not because his drill instructor act was bad…but because it was RIGHT ONE THE MONEY.

It gave him 1942 Parris Island chills to hear him.
RIP Gunney

Just the opposite for me. I have FMJ on DVR so I can listen to Ermey calling cadence, which was very close to how my DI sounded.
Great memories and always makes me smile.
