Not because he found anything wrong with it, but because it was too perfect.

    My dad trained with the Marines in 63 or 64 in California. He finished boot camp. This was part of training program between the US and our country. He rarely talked about the training but the few thing he said seem pretty well represented here. He made several friends within the American recruits, and one of them was a heavy person as presented in the movie. He told us that the Instructors were very hard on this person and he eventually committed suicide by jumping into one of those big heavy trucks. After finishing the boot camp my dad, and his compatriots went for additional training but the American kids went to Vietnam. Several of his dear friends were killed Vietnam the first week, that was something made him very sad. He got the yearbook that I used peruse for hours when I was a kid. He used to wear this yellow shirt with a red Marine Insignia for years, he was very proud of it. He could not pay for the graduation ring so I bought a replica here in the States and gave it to him. He treasures it. After the training he returned to our country and he became a Commando, a Marine Instructor and Marine Commando Instructor. He's 93 now and I wish I could find that yellow Jersey with the red Insignia to send it to him.

He changed the course of my life and gave me confidence in myself that has carried me to a fantastic life . But I still shiver a bit when I think of him . Semper Fi ‘72

Vincent said himself that this was hands down his favorite movie that he was ever in and that Lee Ermey was just jaw dropping talented and that he and the rest of the recruits in the movie tried so hard not to laugh when Ermey was in his role and whenever they would cut because someone laughed Ermey would laugh as well.

    At the Houston Auto-Rama In 2004, my buddy and I stood in line for two hours to get an autographed picture from Sgt. Ermey. I was teaching 8th grade American History at the time, and The Gunny was doing his History Channel show “MAIL CALL,” where he answered viewer e-mail about all things military. By the time we got close to the Gunny’s table, we were told by event staff not to slow him down by asking questions or anything, because the time for this engagement was running out.
    When we finally got up to his table, I ignored those directions, leaned down to him and asked “Will you drop me for 25 [push-ups], for a photo-op?” He looked puzzled, and asked me “25 ?!?” I said “Yeah, for a photo op…” He replied “Oh sure!”
    As he got up from behind the table, I turned toward the open area of the stage and realized in horror that about 200 people had gathered just to watch him sign autographs. I was shocked back to reality when he yelled right into my ear “GET DOWN THERE AND GIVE ME 25, YOU FAT PIG!!!” As the crowd died laughing, I jumped down into the ‘up’ position and froze there, while my buddy was getting the shot. After a few seconds Gunny yelled to the crowd “I DON’T THINK THIS GUY CAN DOOOO 25!!!” I looked up over my shoulder at Gunny and replied “I don’t think I can do ONE!” So I got up, shook his hand, and as he was returning to his chair, I said “Hey! Do more stuff from the Revolution!” He said “okay.”
    Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned that day, so I had to settle for the 8x10 glossy, but he did do several stories from the American Revolution, which I showed to my classes until I retired.

In my day they punished the whole platoon anytime a recruit fucked up. It didn't take long before the platoon got pissed and fixed things themselves; starting with some laser stares, then verbal threats and then shoulder checks in the squad bay and finally a blanket party if necessary. We gave one blanket party in my platoon and the shitbird recruit straightened right up...except he fucked up in final drill comp and cost us honor platoon...several of us said we were going to kill the MF'er when we saw him at Geiger for ITR but somehow, he never showed.

    The first half of this movie is as real as it gets when you want to know exactly what boot camp is actually like, at least as it would have been in the 1960s and earlier.
    When I was in navy boot camp in the fall of 1987, it was nearly identical to what is portrayed here, with our company commanders doing and saying all that you see here (and more), but only not allowed to use racial slurs or to slug any recruits.
    With that said, there was at least one company commander who was severely disciplined (can't remember whether it rose to the level of a forced discharge) for having slugged a recruit right before the guys in my company arrived in Great Lakes.

      Actually what happened was they cast an actor and R. Lee was brought in to prep him for the role. When Stanley Kubrick met him and heard his improvisations he fired the actor and asked R. Lee to do it instead. Lee was actually petrified of acting and had stage fright when filming, but you’d never know.

    At a place I used to work, we would get dpnuts for the staff room from time to time. Several of us were familiar with this movie, and when we saw one of us eating the donuts, we would say "what the fuck is that? A jelly donut?!"

    After this movie, every drill Sergent/DI on earth adopted this act, which makes it painful not to laugh when you hear a Korean man attempt "the 'Onry think' from Texas Is 'Srrears' and Queers" (back when that was still ok).

    What’s my favorite line? It’s more of my favorite scene. When Joker says, “Is this you John Wayne? Is this me?” Every time I see that scene, I say to myself (and anyone that will listen), having “been there, done that,” MCRD San Diego, 1967, there is NO way a recruit would do/say that. If you did, back then, the Drill Instructors would have beaten you half to death just to make a point. They are in charge, not you.
    SEMPER FI!

    The movie consists of two completely distinct parts. Boot camp and deployment in Vietnam. Boot camp and the acting performance of Lee Ermey was so impressive that the second part never really registered with me. I can recite entire sequences from the first half of the movie and I could not put together coherently what the second part is about.
