I agree, the director actually found him in the phillipines fishing with his phillipino wife, getting drunk. Saw his tattoos, found out he was a vet and former DI, and asked to be an actor in the film, the rest is History!

It's Diego. I was at Parris Island. In fact, during the scene where the D.I gets on the bus to "say hello," he tells them 'You are now aboard the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California. When you left you were under your mother's care. You are now under my care. You will not eat, sleep, blow your nose or scratch your ass unless someone tells you to do so."
S.T. L. Right you are. In a way, San Diego seems more difficult than Parris Island. At P.I., you're isolated and just don't see anything civilian for months. At MCRD, you see those damned freedom birds everyday.
Scott Adkins The DI always yelled at us for "EYEBALLING MY AIRPLANES!". We had a doofus who decided to leave during Boot Camp. He went straight to the San Diego International Airport next door. Stupid idiot was still in his cammies (they take away your civilian clothes when you get to MCRD). The MPs grabbed him as he was eating breakfast in the airport. Our DI thrashed us damn near all day because of that moron.
"Whaddya lookin' at? I don't owe you no money." "YOU DID WHAAAAAAT?" LMAO The tirade by the (corrected:Rican) drill sergeant I find every bit as funny as R. Lee's.

This is my favorite military movie. I saw it as a teenager and it gave me a reality check big time. I appreciated the military more and respected it more. It's underrated but as far as I'm concerned one of the best movies ever. It may not meet all the technical aspects of fine cinema but it delivers big time.

They still do fire and movement fire and maneuver with live ammo just no overhead fire. Unless ur running a really big range and u have 240's on tripods
Yep.....however his role as Sgt. Loyce in The Boys of Company C was a lot different than Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. As Loyce, he had some good one-liners but was more serious,less sarcastic and actually a fair,decent man.....but still strict. As Hartman, he was funnier but a total bastard.
My Senior Drill Sergeant in Army Basic was from PR, and he could switch back and forth between "normal" English and an almost "Jose Jiminez"-like accent. One day, while in formation, we were being kind of loosey-goosey, so the sarge yells at us, in his theeck akszent, "If you guys don't stop playing grab-ass, I'm going to send you to 'Yale', and I'm not talking about the college!"
@crwnikeboy Is he the Senior Drill Instructor, the one doing the "I love you" bit with Jesus? He may be a better actor, but Ermy is the picture of a Drill Instructor...

"Jesus! How in the hell do they expect me to train fucking Marines when they wont even send me human God damn beings to start with!"....LOL ..that's just classic!
Women aren't getting let in combat arms in the US military. Compared to many other militaries around the world, American women can't do much at all. Various European countries, Canada, NZ and soon Australia will have women in the infantry and armor. The British let women in field artillery and combat engineering. It hasn't done them any harm, all these countries have deployed on operations too. The US is too conservative to go down the same route, and it would be expensive to implement.
ACTOR SANTOS MORALES IS SENSATIONALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I HAVE THIS MOVIE ON DVD AND ALSO HAVE AUDIO COMMENTARY FROM HENS TOOTH DVD ALSO CHECK OUT GO TELL THE SPARTANS GREAT NAM FILMS
The actor playing the series drill instructor does gives a convincing portrayal, but most likely was never a real marine. In the marines, its not "the ground," it's "the deck," or, in this case, "my deck".
@dbutcher84 When I met him in Hawaii a few years ago, I remarked that this is one of my favorite movies. He said" I was a young man back then" I said "me too, I was only 10! " He's a great guy.
Haven't seen this movie in ages. What is that DI's name? He was a real DI way back when. He kind of went Hollywood there for awhile after this flick unfortunately he was type cast for these exact same roles. With that demeanor can you blame them? He even came out with an alarm clock that yelled out profanities in his voice like 'get the fuck up maggot you worthless piece of shit'. Almost bought one but didn't think the wife would've approved.
I remember this movie when it came out. That's the way boot camp should be. Now days, if you swear at a Private, he might cry to his congressman, "He hurt my feelings! We have a military that's filled with a bunch of sissies. And they are a direct reflection of what our nation has become over the years. That's why other countries piss on us whenever they can. They know we're not really gonna do anything about it. Heaven knows, we don't want to OFFEND anyone. Pathetic.
@Brutle1111 I never served but my dad did and I grew up around every race and nationality of spouses and kids of servicemen. Teachers at school too and staff in the Exchange/Commisary bowling alley etc. Small towns with their homogenous makeup (only "americans" and no "foreigners") don't appeal to me. And yes my dad was stationed in the P.I. twice married a Filipina after my Japanese mom passed away.
@briank383 Watch just a few seconds after the privates start coming out of the huts; you'll clearly see some kid with skeeter wings (a single stripe) yelling at one of them. Isn't that an E-2? Even if he's an E-3, I thought you had to be at LEAST an E-5 to be a D.I.?
@opfor97 That's true. But, ask yourself one question. Could the clerks and jerks of today's army hold off the German Army, the Waffen SS like the clerks and jerks of WW2 did during the Bulge? Back then it was was every swingin dick was a rifleman first and foremost.
Not sure when it started. They did it in the 80's. You had firing lanes. Probably 20 yards from a guy firing down the lane as you ran for cover, four second rush. Then you opened up down the lane as he ran for cover.
The only ones that have the right to say anything about Marine Corps Boot Camp. Are those that actually been there as for me, 1972 MCRD Hollywood Marine PLT 2150 we know don't we!!!
No shit! in 82 there was a Sgt at recieving. Sgt Montoblan. We called him Sgt Mentalblock behind his back because he was freaking nuts! The DI in this movie reminds me of him..lol
“You should be lookin atchu fada! God! Not me!!! Find something funny get on you fuckin knees and be his disciple!!! Lmfao shit had me rollin. “Maybe chu love me???” Lmfaooo!!!
@frogsoda Two of my DIs were black dudes from the deep south. When they yelled it sounded all gutteral...great DIs but they had speech problems major. lol
As a son of a WWII vet, I can relate to this scene. Being in the L.A. County Sheriff's academy back in 1979 is reminiscent of those times. Back then, the academy was hard ass shit talking and High stress to make it through. Today these kids are soft and will break down and cry if the academy was like this. After 44 years ( Sgt. II) and retirement brings me fond memories of these times.

When thru PARRIS ISLAND after midnight, no daytime arrivals on the Island
Yeah, but this ain't Parris Island. I think it's MCRD San Diego. Maybe.
It's Diego. I was at Parris Island. In fact, during the scene where the D.I gets on the bus to "say hello," he tells them 'You are now aboard the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California. When you left you were under your mother's care. You are now under my care. You will not eat, sleep, blow your nose or scratch your ass unless someone tells you to do so."
S.T. L. Right you are. In a way, San Diego seems more difficult than Parris Island. At P.I., you're isolated and just don't see anything civilian for months. At MCRD, you see those damned freedom birds everyday.

It's a movie dude suspend some belief. Also there are no ex-marines. Once a marine always a marine.

a dead marine is an ex marine , sorry champ but that's a fact.
Actually you may die but the marine corps lives forever which means you live forever ie a dead marine is still a marine
Only ex marine was lee harvey Oswald

Stress cards are a myth and live fire drills are still executed in the Army/Marine Corps last time I checked (including initial entry recruits).
This reminds me of basic training👍🏼
Pretty much my reaction to arriving..." Who is this tiny brown man, and what have I done to piss him off so bad?" 42 years later, the answer still escapes me...
I had forgotten R L Ermey was in this one too. Not as big a roll as Full Metal.
Not as big a roll but also more realistic. Full Metal was over the top.
Actually, the SSgt. Loyce character reminds me a lot of my own Senior Drill Instructor.
This was before his big payROLE in Full Metal Jacket.
@Waltham1892 Santos Morales is excellent in this movie.
I had a female/Jamaican Army drill sergeant who was hard as hell, fair, did more pushups than all of us and she was HOT!
