He's an honorary gunnery sergeant. Please do not bestow him the title, which is earned, not granted.

Second time that’s been said on this thread. Was he promoted at retirement?

It depends, did the United States Marine Corps promote Staff Sergeant R. Lee Ermey USMC (Ret.) to the actual rank of Gunnery Sergeant USMC (Ret.)? Or did they give him the title of Gunnery Sergeant without the actual pay, essentially a Brevet to the rank?
