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!

Full Metal Jacket, great movie that. But I still can't get past the scene were the recruit shoots Sgt. Hartman (Ermey) dead. Way too contrived.

Because he used to be a REAL Marine DI before acting.

I’d imagine he was far scarier in real life...

The DI with Jack Webb is my all time favorite and was a big influence on me going to the Corps.
