Sad to hear. RIP Gunny.
Only Marine to ever had his rank upgraded like that. He was a Staff Sergeant and DI during Viet Nam, rank was later officially upgraded to Gunnery Sergeant for his portrayal in the film Full Metal Jacket. For the positive light it shined on the USMC. _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

Kubrick asked 'What's a reach around?' That was all it took. Best performance as a senior drill instructor the world has ever seen. _________________ NRA Endowment Member.
