He was a drill sgt during vietnam
Gunny did a video on this and he said that he was period accurate for the DI ... and he would know . that is when he was one
@18:00 No drill instructors allowed on rifle range anymore, only shooting instructors.
To prevent recruits from shooting DIs.
They didn't script his insults. They told him to speak freely, and told the actors to respond accordingly.
gunny scared me back to that time. oh shit! you forget the guy who knew he was a bullseye 73 to 79 no training after boot camp. great at picking up cig butts a painting rocks white. wright after Vietnam. bent m16 barrel. no tools to work on trucks, on parts. NO! on request for training. Told to get OFF THERE BASE when Discharged. I GOT MY HONORABLE DISCHARGE. FUCK EM
I was an Army drill sergeant and got a medal for telling a candidate “I will be in your face so bad every day, the day you get married, you will turn to kiss your wife and see me!”
No doubt. The army gives out a ribbon if you pass basic training.
I wouldnt last long in the military. I'm glad I didnt join.
I had a friend was a drill sergeant, I’m a civilian. I told him he wasn’t that tough he told me to give him him my best shot- I made him cry and we don’t talk no more.
Full disclosure tho I probably couldn’t survive the military. I have authority issues and they would probably discharge me before they could break me unless they identified some special skill in me worth riding me for but doubtful.
@@M335h1 What did you do to him?
Daniel Brewster - He told him that his best friend had been banging his wife while he was deployed.
The only reason that Gunny Ermey didn't win the Best Supporting Actor award is because - he WASN'T acting !
And because hes not a supporting actor, hes a main character
Kubrick told him "I want it to look real". He said back "I cannot do it any other way".
Ermey was legend. R.I.P
He really was a DI before he was an actor.
**TRUTH**
When they were filming this movie, when doing multiple takes for these scenes where Ermy was going at them like this, the man never used the same insult twice. He ALWAYS had another.
Love that detail! Never the same insult twice!!!
PS He is the world record holder for fewest takes in a Kubrick film. They became best friends and would spend Sundays planning the next week's shoots. He was the only one to just ask The K what was he looking for.
R. Lee Ermey turned in one of the best cinematic performances in history and should have won an Oscar for this.
He wasn't nominated because he wasn't acting, he was playing himself from his DI experience 😅 so nope. Even if in 1987 he had the most memorable performance 🎭
Well no. He’s not acting so technically no
He won a global Oscar for this
@@rubeng370
Since acting is not to act, he should have been nominated.
Had a DI make a recruit give up his rifle and carry a plant. When another DI asked why he was carrying a a plant he had to reply” to replace some of the oxygen I am stealing from other recruits
Love that one.
Dude, that made me laugh out loud. I can totally hear them doing that.
That's comedy gold!
*lol*
Its 1am and I'm laughing into tears
One guy turned left on a "Right Face" command, so the Drill Sergeant made him carry a rock in his right hand to remind him. A little later the Drill didn't see the rock in his hand and asked him where it was. "It's in my pocket" said the Recruit. The Drill Sergeant started throwing a fit stating "You smothered my best rock in your nasty pocket, you god damn murderer".... The whole Company had to perform a Military Funeral for the murdered rock afterwards.
That's hilarious
Yeah,there is no such thing as a drill sergeant in my glorious Marine Corps bub.
...they just wanted another excuse to brutalize us!!! ~ROFL~ (like they NEEDED a reason)
@@billstocker6216 Oh I know, I was in the Army. Drill Sergeants were mean but not Marine Corp mean. We were trained to hide behind tree's and rocks. Not many of those on a beach.
I do love my bulletproof Marine Brothers trained to charge.
Never in my life did I expect to read “You smothered my best rock in your nasty pocket, you goddamn murderer”
Had a guy in boot camp (around week three) complain that he wanted to call back home and talk to his mother...well...the CC's obliged...they set up a box by the window, had him stand on it and yell "MOM" for about 3 hours...afterwards they stopped him and asked him if she answered...he said no...and they proceeded to tell him that's because she didn't want to talk to him and that he needed to man up and get through boot camp without his mommas help...needless to say he made it through.
The soap in the bag beating is called a "blanket party."
It happened all the time.
Boot Camp 40 or more years ago was waaaay different than it is now.
1967 was very different. Its more pc now less corporal punishment\abuse. The reason for the intensity at that time was the tight window for recruits 8-10 weeks before they would be shipped out to Vietnam. 1967-68 was a huge acceleration for the war and lots of draftees had to be hardened pretty quickly.
Blanket parties still happens😈😈😈
Blanket parties still happens😈😈😈
My daughter did boot camp at Relaxing Jackson. He bootcamp story's made me fall asleep.. Well, except one maybe , the guy who farted. That went as you could imagine it did.
yeah now days that wouldnt fly. Either would saying things like he says in the movie, words like f word (for gay people), would get you in a ton of crap
My brother's DI said, "If your brains were dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your fuckin nose!"
oooh.....
Not bad😂
Funny seeing you here!
Funny seeing you here!
Holy shit😂
I heard my drill Sgt yelling to my battle buddy, " I cannot believe you dodge that coat hanger for nine months to give up on me now private!!"
Troy Willard 🤣🤣🤣
Damn!
That's classic!
Ouch!!!
Incredible
How is nobody talking about the random 2 minute music interruption??? 😂
What was that?
@@66jediknight 1984
It kinda makes sense that drill sergeants would test the sensitivity levels of the recruits, because if the recruits aren't able to handle insults, then they are certainly not gonna be able to handle the stress and trauma during actual wars - so in some sense, the drill sergeants actually weed out the people who will not be able to handle wars.
I’ve always suspected this is why they’re so hard on them. If they can’t handle verbal assaults will they be able to handle the stress of combat?
What do they do with the people that can’t make the cut?
Send them to the Army?@@ComicWriter-ml3qt
@@ComicWriter-ml3qt They send them home, which is what Sgt. Hartman should have done with Private Pyle
And now here we are, a whole generation offended by words. We arent gonna make it with this kinda cancer.
My director of security was at Paris Island and he said one recruit asked if they could have a Christmas tree in the baracks. The Drill instructors covered him with Christmas lights and made him stand like a Christmas tree for hours
Bwahahahaha! I can so believe that...epic action by the DI's. lol
Classic!
PRICELESS!!
my brother had one recruit that accidentally looked at a plane while learning their drill, so he was out in a garbage can and told to jump and try to catch the airplane for 2 hours😂
You know the old saying, "Boot camp is the funniest place you're not allowed to laugh"
Had a buddy once in Idaho say that someone in his group farted. DI asked who it was. Guy said it was him. DI told him he had to go around and look for his fart. After 15 minutes or so, the guy felt embarrassed running around looking for a fart so he pretended to catch his fart in his hands and reported back. DI looked at him incredulously and asked him "You found your fart?" The guy said he had. DI then instructed him to dig a hole in the ground to bury it. After it was buried, the DI instructed him to hum Taps.
This made me laugh. 😂😂😂
and after "taps" make it rain.
Lmfao this made me roll
That's some of the funniest shit I ever heard
LMAO oh holy shit im crying over here🤣🤣
"If you screw up... Just take the beating" Those are words to live by.
R.I.P. Gunny Hartman. He was magnificent. There's the story, that he originally shouldn't play the role but advise the real actor for this role. But while testing him in advance, he insulted non stop for a quarter of an hour while the crew threw him off with tennis balls, the crew was so impressed that they gave him the role. 😂
My dad was a drill instructor. He ran our household like this. I didn’t go into the military because I felt like I served 18 years before I was old enough to enlist.
At that rate, you qualify for military benefits & pension! 🇺🇸 😎👍☕
My wife’s dad was a DI as well, she said the same thing about growing up…
@@CEOkiller I'm sorry she has to live with an abusive man like that
Damn. That sucks. I was raised by my Grandma, but the woman was an authoritarian. Which no one would believe from the outside. I hated it.
@@logomoves4904 Yes, I agree!!!
Rip R. Lee Ermey, a real USMC drill instructor pretending to be an actor.
more like "being himself on camera for 15 minutes"
he was in another movie as well (Boys in Company C)
@@gregthornton4209 he was great in Texas chainsaw mass. I mean he was sick af in that
Ermy was originally hired for "Full Metal Jacket" as a technical adviser to teach a real actor how to portray a Marine D.I. When Stanley Kubrick saw the instructional video Ermey made for Tim Colceri, the actor hired to play SGT Hartman, he gave the role to Ermy. Colceri is later seen as the helicopter door gunner who says, "Ain't war hell!"
@@gregthornton4209 and in 'Space: Above and Beyond' as DI .
Marine boot camp in 1968 was MUCH tougher then the sugar-coated version in Full Metal Jacket- that is a fact. We were far too afraid to have the nerve to smuggle chow out of the mess hall.
Would that have even been possible to smuggle chow out of the mess hall anyway?
you didn't serve and if you did your friends died for naught
We also didn't have access to jelly donuts, so the scene with Private Pyle wouldn't have happened. (Platoon 3069 Nov 1969)
@@OzFrog48ZYep in 74. Our Pyle did the jelly donut. He was built like Baby Huey. They put just an Apple on his tray. The smallest guy, they smothered his tray in chow and said EAT!!!
Platoon 2017, San Diego Recruit Depot, summer of '67, on our knuckles on the grinder because some ahole effed up during drill. He sat under a palm tree, smoking a cigarette at the DI's "request." No blanket party, somebody just tripped him, he went down and we ran over him when we were dismissed for chow. Thing is, it was always going to be one of use, all to demonstrate in realtime what it means when someone in the platoon screws up.
Was in platoon 1066 at PI in 69. One night we woke up to the fire watch screaming for the duty DI. He found a recruit laying on his bunk, bleeding out,after cutting his wrists with his bayonet. Somehow the guy got up and ran out the fire escape at the end of the squad bay. Went right over the railing 3 stories down. The only thing that probably saved him was that it had been raining all day and the ground was soft. Still he had 2 broken legs along with other injuries. You would have a hard time understanding the mental stress your under in boot camp unless you actually were there. Some can handle it better than others.
Than you for your service
Bro don't be a bitch. don't thank him for killing civilians of another country@@asonroer1064
While in basic training for the Air Force we had a trainee that was caught throwing a rock at a rabbit during a march. Our DI made him walk on the inside and salute every rabbit we passed. In Texas there were a lot of rabbits.
That's hilarious 😂
I bet he never looked at rabbits the same again hahahahahaha!!
lol...bunch of pu$$ies
..in the USMC boot camp that recruit would have been sent back 2 weeks in training
@@RichWeigel 🤣😂😂😂
R Lee Ermey was my uncles drill instructor when he was in Boot Camp before he went to Vietnam. He said his diatribes and insults in Full Metal Jacket were very much what he was like in real life.
That is so cool!
Lee says he was really nice to his recruits though.
@@garystewart3110 Oh I'm sure, I'll bet he promised them fried chicken and watermelon at graduation lol, he was nice alright, as he says he's tough but he's fair! Marine DIs job is to kick your arse into a man, i.e, break you down and build you up not give you a swat on the keyster for good work !
How do people learn to talk like this? Is this a culture of people talking like this in the military? How do people think of insults this fast and have so many?
@@thothheartmaat2833 Don't like your own post
Marine Corps boot camp is the funniest place on earth where you dare not laugh
As a retired Marine, a Marine drill instructor of 1st Battalion...I love it, I've served in both theaters...Iraq and Afghanistan. Love your videos
Had a DI say "Even bob ross couldn't paint the shit i'm looking at right now". Lmao
Bob Ross was D.I I'm sure you know 👍👍
How in the fuck would it be possible to keep a straight face? I'm gonna chuckle, I'm gonna die.
@@Swaggaccino Not with how intense they are id bet.
@@MinnWasTaken Yeah but sometimes the quiet word and how it's said can be much more sinister...
@@TheClaptonisgod1 I just was saying people are not going to laugh since they know there could be consequences.
Ermey was hired as a consultant and the director was so impressed with his authenticity, the original actor was out and Ermey was cast. He was a real life Marine DI
And that is a miracle
I see why
When he auditioned for this role, he did what was similar to what he did in the beginning scene for 45 minutes without repeating himself once
The actor Ermey beat out for the role Gunny Hartman got the role of the machine Gunner in the helicopter scene. "Get Some!"
And that goes to show that Stanley Kubrick is one of the best directors ever.....
My Father was USMC 1967-68.. Volunteered, not drafted. He would talk about boot camp, and some parts of being in country.. but never talk about combat even though he's got two purple hearts (None of his kids know why, and none would be so disrespectful as to ask) He told me this movie was the closest thing to legit USMC boot camp in a time of war as he's ever seen.
at 18:12 when Gomer changes mags, he purposely places the feed end away from Gunny. As you may notice, there is a round still left in the magazine that Gunny doesn't see. This is how Gomer managed to sneak a live round into the barracks. Great piece of barely noticeable filmography from Stanley Kubrick. But whether or not it would actually work in real life is a different question.
Had to be two rounds or more remember. One for gunny, one for gomer
He loaded a full magazine, not just one or two rounds.
Yeah, he had a fist full of rounds and loaded at least 5-6 before he locks and loads in the scene (and the mag already had bullets in it). It wasn't just a single round or two. At the end of the day, though, it is unimportant how he got that much live ammo. He did so the scene could happen lolol
Can’t speak for the corps, but in the army not possible. Mags weren’t kept and we did a full shake down after the range with the drills inspecting our pockets and making us shake our uniform for hidden rounds.
Sadly, GySgt R. Lee Emery is no longer with us. This movie is a classic.
love him in movies and seemed like a normal guy to have a beer and cigar with.
Thanks for the info zizzle chest.

@@JamesonsTravels react to it on here the full metal jacket Disney version its freaking halirious if u haven't seen it
R. Lee Ermy was a staff sergeant and a DI and he wrote his own lines. So the authenticity is absolutely there!
He actually was hired to teach the actor that was supposed to sound like a DI. He started into a tirade and the director fired the original actor on the spot.
He was an honorary Gunny
He may have been a DI but that doesn’t mean he didn’t embellish the role. Hitting a recruit may happen but it is strictly against the rules. It could be reported and there’s a limit. ..I imagine with females there now they’ve had to tone down the vulgarity.
He didn't write his own lines so much as he ad-libbed on the spot at least 60% of what he said. But I get what you meant.
@@stephenpowstinger733 Hitting is one of those things that over the years has gone away. It used to be the way a Sergeant would get his troops back in line was to take them out back for what we called 'Wall to Wall Counseling'. Because, the Military as a whole as gotten away from that, it's assumed it doesn't happen. When I was in the Drill Sergeants wouldn't exactly lay a hand on you, but they did like to have you do this exercise were you drug your legs/boots behind you while crawling on your arms. It left black streaks on the floor. If 60 guys do that at the same time, you will have a completely black floor covered in sweat. Then giving you a green scratch pad and telling you it must be buffed by morning. This isn't exactly abuse, but it is the kind of mind games they play.
My dad was in the army in the early 70's he said this was pretty accurate. This is also one of his favorite movies
Ermey was a real drill instructor that was initially brought in to be a consultant to someone that was supposed to play the part, but they figured why just not have him in the movie cause he really didn't have to act it, he lived it.
The actor playing the drill instructor was a real drill instructor they told him to improvise on each actor.
don't think R. Lee Ermey was an actual Gunnery Sergeant. I know he made Sergeant though.
he wasn't a D.I he was a marine, he was brought in to advise. He originally didn't want to take the role when offered because he didn't think he would do it justice.
@@alexreid-wh9gq He was a D.I.
D3adCy11nd3r he was a di
I stand corrected. Saw it in an interview or time, guess it was wrong.
We had a kid who couldn't stop laughing. All three DI's were on him and one of them gut punched him and that was that. Might have been one of the funniest things I ever saw. The funniest thing I saw was on graduation day and one of the DI's came up to a recruit and said "McKinney, have I every physically abused you?" McKinney: "Sir, no sir" Then the DI gut punched him and said "Now I have" and walked away.
I am so sorry I laughed. I wasnt laughing at the dudes pain. I was laughing at an image of the DI doing it cartoon style gut punching him, turning around and saying it smuggly
i couldn't not laugh when they said things like "do you have sand in your clit" to the biggest guy there. I paid for that a lot. I never gave up though and found out after graduation that they respected and liked me...I thought they hated me the most lol
@@golddragonj it was probably because they respected and liked you that you paid for it...
TreeBeard ....Had a buddy going through OCS in Pensacola who would giggle if you said things like “Tittiies”.
So He’s in formation and the guy next to him (whose name happened to be Cox) somehow drew the attention of the D.I. The D.I. just launched into Cox and finished up by telling him that they spelled his name wrong....that Cox wasn’t spelled with an X.
My buddy LOST it, which landed him outside the D.I.’s office holding a tail hook out in front of himself for something like 45 minutes. Not sure if it’s possible.....it’s just what he said. He learned to control his outbursts after that.
And that you find funny or abusive?
R Lee Ermey did NOT use the words Kubrik and the script put into his mouth. 90% of these scenes were improvised by R Lee Ermey! As he was a Marine, he knew what to say and how to say it.
That's a complete lie you m*r*n
Stanley Kubrick hated when actors improvised their lines, but he made an exception with R. Lee Ermey
@@titan133760 Actually, what Kubrick couldn't stand was actors who didn't learn or know their lines. Improvisation and happy mistakes Kubrick always wanted to see.
My step father was a Sgt in WWII in So Pacific, not a drill SGT. So he didn't do this. He was promoted due to war time from Corporal.
Under fire he may have been tough on his platoon, but he was a great guy. He came back with all his limbs, but did lose over 50 men on 1 Island.
I actually got one of my drill instructors to laugh. He called me a rock, basically stupid. I told him "This recruits parents are from Stonehenge" he cracked a smile shook his head and walked off.
I was cutting 550 cord with a knife I got at the PX during our final FTX. One of the drills called me over and asked if I had a knife. I told him "We're not allowed to have knives." He said "Don't bullshit me." I replied "I'm not bullshitting you, drill sergeant. We're really not allowed to have knives." He just rolled his eyes and walked away.
Hilarious. He *cracked a smile
because you automatically contradicted him with your intelligence!
You're a comedian huh! FROM NOW ON YOUR NAME WILL BE PRIVATE JOKER.
Thats awesome.. I never got a DI to laugh but I did get called Astro for about a month.. A recruit was getting smoked by Senior and a Green Belt came flying out of nowhere.. Me being the smartass I was whispered, " Whut WoooW." A DI just happened to be behind my rack.. He just glared at me and walked away.. About 2 hours later.. He yelled, " Astro get your ass on my Q-deck," and smoked me lol
Awesome.
my drill instructor asked me where i was from and i told him New York. and he screamED WELL I BE DAMMED YOU CAME HERE ALL THE WAY HERE FROM NEW YORK JUST TO PISS ME OFF
in army my drill instructor did this saying, this my rifle this my gun . one for shooting one is for fun. march and sing this saying for 5 miles.
lmao
LMAO
😭😭😭😭😭
Mine ask where I was from and I said Detroit. He responded “Detroit, isn’t that where they used to make cars”? I simply responded “yes drill sergeant”. He was right after all lol.
Those saying he wasn't acting...kubrik said he constantly worked with a dialogue coach and he was so prepared some of the scenes they got in 3 takes. Sounds like he was more of an actor than most actors.
First off, thanks to the author for your service. As for the abuse, it is absolutely needed because in a combat situation, the soldier must be able to take incoming fire and still achieve the mission objective. And oh, being accustomed to abuse will be a very good experience if ever a POW.
I was in the Army and we ended up out in the middle of the night in our underwear in 20 degree weather turning rocks over so they wouldn't get "moon burnt"
😂😂😂😂😂
@Margaret Gust I didn't think it was so funny at the time...now I do, yes we wore our boots!
We 'moved holes' with e-tools. I don't recall moon burnt rocks but the bullshit is eternal.
LMFAO oh man. getting moon burnt. goddamn I miss basic sometimes.
Fuckin Moon Burnt?! HAHAHAHA
i'm sorry that "you're so ugly you could be a modern art master piece" is the best line.
It's fucking genius.

Edit: wtf did I try to type? That got me rolling?
I love he skips the one guy and just go straight to pile. Lol lawrence what of Arabia
I've seen this clip so many times, and that still was the highlight that cracked me up again.
I prefer the 'It looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your Mummas ass and became a brown stain on the mattress. But really they're all amazing.
10:56 we were forbidden from walking around with no shoes on. You had to have either your boots on or you had to have your "shower shoes" ie-flip flops. If they caught you shoeless, you were in for it.
That sergant is an actual sergant. He did what he used to do when he was actually active in bootcamp. Thats why it is so immersive and feels so authentic, because it is spot on for real. Im just amaized we only see a few minutes of what is supposed to be hours of rambling about in extra material that never made it into the movie. Either you have this memorized after years of yelling, or you have a real quick brain to come up with things on the go. Either way, its brilliant.
This scene gives ex servicemen PTSD because it's so close to the bone. Kubrick is never going to stray from fact when he's telling his stories with film

Ptsb? Puss
The Actor playing the drill instructor was a real Vietnam era Marine originally only in the film as an advisor. Stanley Kubrick had another actor in the part but preferred this guys energy and knowledge due to the fact he could talk the talk and walk the walk. the original guy planned to be drill instructor became the crazy door gunner. So that's why it seems so legitimate.
This is one of my favorite stories about movies.
He was a Marine DI before being deployed to Vietnam. Years ago, he did a program on which he went back to Vietnam to see how the bases & cities he was familiar with had changed.
His name is Gunnery Sargent Hartman played by R. Lee Ermey
RIP Gunny Ermey
Yeah, I know that as well, because he was so slick with his mouth and a real Marine. I'd say The Best man for this role.
Thank you for your service. There is a major difference between when you joined the corps vs. the Vietnam era. Recruits during your time never spout off at the DI as Joker did. But, Joker was not a recruit. He never volunteered. He got drafted against his will, and thrown into the island the same way he got thrown into elementary and high school, where he likely rebelled against authority by being the class clown. So, when the DI goes all mondo authoritarian, Joker cannot contain himself. It's just public school again with yet the latest d--k teacher, and he lets it fly.
One of the best films ever made .
Funniest thing one of my drill instructors said to a recruit was "Over a million sperm running a race and you were the one that won. Jesus Christ I can't imagine the result if you had lost!"
Hahahahahahahah
LOL...LOL....
That’s…surprising
now thats funny
Outstanding 😂😂
My friend told me his DI said "I could eat alphabet soup and shit out a better question than that". Lmao
hahahaha!! i am gonna use this some day at work. i will make sure to give credit due becaise i know its gonna make people laugh
@@sunofpeter2 spread the love right 😂
Rumour has it that DI’s are specially trained to come up with witty remarks or else they don’t pass and cant become a DI.
I read that in Ermey's voice. 🤣
Dead💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In basic training we had a thief steal cigarettes from the mess hall staff. We had physical training for about two hours. Constant grass drills and cannon cockers.
Screamed at by 5 drill sergeants. Finally, finally someone confessed around 2000. Brutal
My oldest son is a retired Marine.
He said not laughing sometimes was a problem in basic.
He also became stronger and more able to expect anything and remain in control in every moment.
The men called the women
"Bleeders"
They also learned respect for everyone.
We got this one after chow one evening..you hogs got a belly full of chow and you’re thinking about Sally rotten crotch back home..don’t worry,you’ll find her just like you left her..freshly f..ked!!
..and never tell a DI you're from Jersey! lol
Not everyone, apparently.
Hahah “they called women bleeders. They learned respect for everyone.”
The irony is just too stupid
@@opaljk4835 Having a silly name for women isnt a sign of disrespect or misogeny. Disrespect would be assuming they couldnt hack the training, or that they were weak etc. I'm sure the marines had colourful names for everyone. In fact, refusing to call the girls silly names is a sign of disrespect because youre making the assumption that they can't handle it and need to be protected. LOL you guys are such white knights.
The physical attacks happen when there are no cameras and no officers or civilians in sight or hearing. My name is Downer I was called recruit Down syndrome. 😂
I am sure they gave him a lot of sh-t
LMAO really???
I was Drafted in 1958 8 Years fo me I heard all that when I was in and there was hazing when I was in don’t know what they’re doing now the DI go to class to learn they art on how to be a DI so they all pretty much sound alike and do the same thing but it definitely works
DevilDogOfWar 1984 😂😂😂
When we were in garrison, and training in plain sight, the DI's would make us sprint into a wall to hurt us. One time a DI made a recruit sprint into a bush and about 4 rabbits ran out. I burst out laughing, but then got bent--reallly bad for losing my bearing.
My company commander nicknamed me "Short fat round person", the last day of boot camp he called me just "Short person". It was a compliment i think.
Hell yes it was.. he was physically promoted.
Mine would have called you chow runner.
@@gusargoan I was not that fat. 😂
@@Bwh-rm3py by the end of boot camp, our chow runner wasn't either.

You are still a Marine. Never former. Semper Fi Marine Brother!
@@MauraWattam-dl4uu But he is former
The DIs called us 'home sick pukes'. It kind of intimidated us at first but after a few weeks, it was hard not to chuckle even when the DI was screaming.
Fun Fact, R. Lee Emrey was a marine Drill Instructor. He was hired to be a technical adviser. He was dissatisfied by the what the writers had setup. He put together an instructional tape where he goes on a tirade against a few extras to show how the DI would have been and the director decided to have him play the part.
Stanley Kubrick isn't just a director!! But yes R Lee was a gift to the movie. He drove the first part himself
fun fact, the machine gunner we see later in the film was originally supposed to be the DI
@@egb625able was that Adam Baldwin? It has been forever since I saw that movie.
@@Farinhir oh whoops, i should have clarified, no the machine gunner in the helicopter who screams GET SOME as he kills vietnamese people
R. Lee Ermey may have been my Dad's Drill Instructor. He was a Drill Instructor at the time my Dad went through Boot Camp.
Drill sergeant told one guy he looked like he fought off Downs in the womb and barely won
Oh shit! That one made me actually laugh hard!
Almost crapped my pants laughing.
That's funny as hell
Ha!
That’s hilarious
Navy "Boot Camp" 1971. Yikes. Slapped, a soft blow to your Nuts, Chocked out, spit in your face. If it is really bad, DI sends in the Black Aigullettes wearing DIs to rough up everything in the barracks. Then there's Jumping Jacks, 500, and Screaming each jump. After a week or two your only fear was being sent back to start over. Boot camp made life easier and better in the Seabees. Overseas we worked up to 30 hours, and then there was hunger. One meal a day, then kill something to eat.
R Lee Ermey WAS a drill instructor and was hired by Stanley Kubrick as an acting coach for whoever was originally cast as Sgt. Hartman. He was so good that Kubrick talked him into the role.
That would have been former marine and Vietnam War veteran Tim Colceri who later played the "CH-19" Helicopter doorgunner.
R Lee Ermey was our guest at a Marine Corps Ball one year. He opened his first speech with his monologue from the movie. It was one of the best times I've ever had, the entire regiment loved it. From my own experiences, this movie is far more accurate that almost all others.
Outstanding! (thank you for your service btw). Luv that. Awesomeness
@@christian19701 I'd love to been there. Thanks for your service
Kubrick was making a criticism. Don't you people see that? Hoo Raw!!!

The weird thing is, I met R. Lee Ermey. There is a major knife maker in NW Arkansas and they'd bring him in to do autographs. You never met a nicer guy. He and my father really hit it off, they were both Vietnam vets, and I remember him telling my dad "Colonel, I'm the luckiest SOB in the world. I get paid to do things I'd pay money to do."
Felt like I know the guy as well. Semper Fi Gunny.
@@JamesonsTravels What I like about the Gunny is he supported the troops. No matter what branch. Sure, he loved the Marines, but Air Force, Navy, Army, even the Coast Guard... he'd walk over burning coals to do USO tours for.
That's awesome
@@patricksullivan2261 Love the "even the Coast Guard". Seriously I love the good natured jokes and jabs. That's not a shot at you by any means.
But when it come from some peoples ignorance, that is sad.
I've been told every Marine knows who Douglas Munro was and what he did. Hope thats true
@@86jmcade That was a joke. Honestly I cannot praise the Coast Guard enough. What they do every day is amazing. "You have to go out, but you don't have come back" sums up the Coast Guard. They do such a great job with a fraction of the resources they should have. I am an old school Army family member but I will say that the Coast Guard is the day to day most essential military branch in the US.
this is easily my favorite war movie ever. it's so cool to me seeing an actual marine react to it and give his thoughts
Marine Corps drill instructors can easily become stand up comedians when they get out.
We should use them for what I like to call "Insensitivity Training." Should be something we do in every western nation imo.
Once a week for one hour, a comedian comes into every classroom (starting grade 6 through 12) and roasts everyone, no exception, nothing held sacred. I guarantee by the time people graduate high school they'll not be giving a single fuck about PC this and 72 genders that.
Not in today's woke world where people will try to destroy your livelihood and your life if you say something they find offensive
@@randypeppercorn1865 Fuck em. That's a problem Insensitivity Training will fix within a decade. It's surely better than my alternative to IT.... Mandatory customer service for all in high school and 3 years of military service after high school before college/university... no exceptions unless you're mentally deficient or have some ailment like being born without a left leg.
@@randypeppercorn1865 today yeah. The DIs now use their jokes over and over. Just like they were PE teachers. They know the same words they say and change them to something more delicate and give it a better twist. The words they use now are light. I believe it can pass. There is a military DI that is a comedian now thats hilarious
Nah because the crowd doesn't have to be there...
So no ones gonna talk about the 3 minutes of straight music no sound
He must've talked about shit they don't want us knowing. But we can ask him what he said right?

@@Cheeks117 ahh didn't even think about that 😂👊💥😵durr I had a moment 🤣🤣
lol
Listening to it rn, it’s 3 mins of this?
Blanket party
Yep, it's been done. 1981 US Army. We pulled one in the shower around midnight. Hey buddy you left your slippers in the shower. You get the picture.
An airmman was caught humming. The DI opened his wall locker & ripped everthing out. Told the airman to get in the locker. He got in & the DI slammed the door shut, threw a quarter through the air slot & said "start singing". The airman sang the worst version of "Lady in Red" I've ever heard. It was hilarious!
Fun fact: about 90% of the Gunny's insults and dialogue for this scene was completely improvised on the spot. And the director, Stanley Kubrick, who is notorious for never allowing improvisation, just let it happen because he couldn't stop laughing after each take.
Fun fact 2 the DIs actor R. Lee Ermey was in the army in RL
Correction he was at the marines
That's not true. Ermey said he spent some time with other DI's coming up with a bunch of one liners to say and they made a full list of some of the best ones. The director was dying laughing as he was reading through some of them. When they went to shoot the scenes the guy they initially had to play the drill instructor was sick so they had Ermey read the lines in his stead and he executed the lines so flawlessly that he ended up getting the part. They actually shot the barracks scene of him pretty much doing all the lines they had come up with, not all of them made it in the final cut but they put the best ones in the final draft of the movie.
Where did you hear that Kubrick didn't allow improvisation? Nearly all his movies contain improv, most famously R. Lee Ermey's DI insults and Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny!" line from 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.
Kubrick is actually known for not giving his actors specific notes, but allowing them a lot of liberty with the material. But during production he often demands endless takes and re-takes of the same scene until he decides he's got something he likes. In 𝘍𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵, the banter between Joker and Animal Mother was reportedly done tens of times, and at one point Adam Baldwin threw his hands up in exasperation and exclaimed. "What the hell does he want?!?" At which point Kubrick calmly tilted his head from behind the camera and said, "How about 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨?"
@@johnalbert2102 Never said that he didn't allow it. Just disputing that they were improvised. They weren't Ermey himself admits that they got together to write down their best ones.
Had a female recruit that failed to salute. CC made her stand on a 5 gallon paint bucket and salute seagulls. Hahahaha. "Morning, Mister Seagull!!" Cape May 2002.
Not me, definitely not me (haha), passed two officers. Gave the greeting of the day and forgot to salute. Front, back, go, salute. And repeat for a while.
Ha Ha awesome! My company was marching back to the barracks and the DI was chatting with another cadre. We always turn left at a certain point to enter the parade grounds so we did...without the order. He lost his stack, to say the least, and stopped the formation to give us a real good chewing out. "You never anticipate the command and if I march you off a GD cliff, you will keep singing cadence and match step all the F*%king way down." So since we felt we were kids back on the block he was going to treat us like children. In rows of four, we held hands and skipped across the parade grounds singing "Tra la la...Tra la la" all 300 of us. It made quite a spectacle and cacophony of sound matched only by the laughter of the other companies we passed. It was also much harder to try and sink up with 3 other guys all in full gear and the M16 slapping you in the back the whole way. We got the point.

In Cape May, we had a recruit get caught with his hands in his pockets. He had his arms taped to his sides, with his hands in his pockets, running around our company. He was required to yell, "beep beep, I am a satellite." It was the funniest thing I had ever seen, and it was so hard not to smile. I didn't want to join him. Golf - 126
We did my rifle my gun in ROTC first year, while running around the schools track that looped the football field.
We daily cleaned an M-1 Granand that had been linseeded so many years the wood shined with bepth of grain that was truly beautiful.
Recently a bit of behind the scenes was released about this scene. This was all spontaneous. He just started got off on these people and the director loved it. None of this was scripted, just straight from his head. He's a master of chaining insults.
I watched Full Metal jacket with my Dad who went in the Marine Corps in 1959. I asked “ Was it really like that Dad?” He said “ No. they toned it down quite a bit!” He said “ I went to basic training with a 30” chest, a 28” waist. I came out with a 30” waist, 50” chest” I miss you Dad. Rest In Peace.
i miss my dad too, Dave. He wasn't a marine but it's not easy for a son to lose his father.

So R. Lee Emery was brought into this movie as a consultant and he earned the roll after they heard him giving guys the business on the set.
He was a real drill instructor in the Marines, thus the reason for being a consultant and being given the part.

Hartman said in an interview that during the Vietnam war, the Marine Corps shortened Boot Camp to eight weeks and so the training was compacted and drill instructors were forced to train recruits more harshly in order to get them ready for combat quicker. The drill instructors knew that many of the recruits were going to die in Vietnam and they were just trying to prepare them in order to give them a fighting chance in combat. He said that everything in the movie was authentic to the time. Fun fact: Hartman sat in a restaurant after his medical discharge (shrapnel in Vietnam), and read the stars and stripes every morning in order to read the Marine death lists so that he could find out which of his recruits had died in Vietnam each day. He was deeply saddened by every Marine that he had trained that was listed.
The source material is a book titled 'The Short-Timers', written by an ex soldier wwho went through exactly this. Kubricks goal was maximum authenticity.
兩周2000 厲害
Worse than the shortened training, they had something called "Project 100,000". The military recruited mentally retarded guys who all got killed or got other troops killed. There would've been a lot of guys there like Pyle.
Drill Sergeant Weave let us know one day that seeing the name of a trainee he'd had in boot camp was enough to tear him apart a little and he'd need a couple of days to get back to himself.
I too write down exactly what Ermey said in the interview and then pass it off like I knew it the whole time
We were marching back from chow and our DI kept yelling "Get in step!" We were getting nervous because we WERE in step. He finally started getting insanely irate and kept yelling "GET IN STEP! AAARRRGGH!!!!" we look over to what the hell was going on. He was out there yelling at pigeons and Soul Chickens and chasing them around. All of us lost it. Platoon 3100 India company August 2000. Oohrah.
Always had 3 drii instructors around us. Yes, i had my head smashed against the chalk board. Also gave 2 blanket parties to shit birds who just couldn't get it. They did after that!! Platoon 3090. P.I. 1979.
Or run back an forth every 3 minutes then right to the sand pit or have you lock you're rifles out for an hour "parallel to the deck"

19:20 - What’s interesting is that Kubrick did not tell Vincent what to do in this scene. Kubrick left it up to him, but said, “Whatever you decide to do, it has to be huge. This scene must be epic.”
Why can't I hear you commentary during PT drills?
6:28 FUN FACT: that wasn't "Pvt. Laurence Pyle" not keeping a straight face, it was Vincent D'Onofrio after something like 13 takes, they decided to just rewrite the scene with his smirk, and let Erney feed off it. and what we got was pure gold.
I never thought of this before, but do you get the rank of private before you finish boot camp? Or I guess what I'm asking is, are you technically a marine before finishing boot camp? Or are you enlisted, with a rank, and then officially become a marine after boot camp?
@@Mockturtlesoup1 I don't know how the Marines do it, but in the Navy (when i was in boot 26 years ago) we earned our pay according to our rate (E1, E2, E3) but we were never addressed by rank.
You are a "recruit". You dont get called a Marine until you climb the stairway to heaven and get your EGA the last day of the crucible (year 2000 - MCRD San Diego). And they dont say recruit like its a normal word, either. They spit it like its disgusting. Also anyone NOT in the Corps was purely known as "nasty civilian". Being referred to in the derogatory for 3 straight months made finally being called Marine one of the greatest rewards of all time.
@@rexsaint-onge9995 thank you. Do they call you private in boot camp? Meaning you have an actual rank?
@@Mockturtlesoup1 Technically you are a private as soon as you join. That is the first rank. Some people can recieve a meritorious promotion while they are in the DEP (like I did), and become a PFC (private first class), but that isnt common. Even so, you will not be referred to as an actual Marine, and def not by your rank, until the end of your 3rd month in boot. Your rank is "recruit" or "nasty recruit" until then.
I went to Boot Camp in 1957, and YES they “did” talk that way, and even punch you.
Then they had a night march and some recruits died in the swamp by drowning so big changes were put in, no longer allowed to punch but I did see it happen once. Thumping was even more effective and we did get plenty of that, because it leaves no marks.
1972 - US Army and no body held back as I remember it.
@@RONBN56A my dad was at Paris Island when that happened.

R Lee Ermey was very open about basing his actions as a Senior Drill Instructor on the time frame-Vietnam, and the fact that they didn't have the full allotted time for a normal boot camp, so the DIs were under a time constraint to make sure they had competent soldiers or Marines.
R. Lee Ermey ad-libbed up To 50% Of His Full Metal Jacket dialogue. Dude was just freestyling. What a talent. Dude roasted harder than any rap battle.
I got to meet and take photos with Gunny a few years before he passed away. I mentioned I served in the Corps and because of my short height he knew I had been “appointed” to be a house mouse (recruits in charge of cleaning the Drill Instructor’s quarters and personal effects). The other recruits assumed things were easier for us because the drill instructors always protected us but what they didn’t know was we were getting yelled at more and bending more because we were always with them.
I told Gunny when I met him that his portrayal in Full Metal Jacket almost scared me into not joining. He responded by saying “But you did join and you served. Not everyone can be a Marine. Semper Fi Devil Dog.” And then he shook my hand. The whole exchange gave me chills and an overwhelming sense of pride. Others waiting in line clapped and shook my hand after, thanking me for my service. RIP Gunny.

Cool story. My uncle was a marine and a veteran of the veitnam War. He served 2 tours of duty and got 2 purple hearts and a bronze star for his service.
After the marines, he went on to be a California highway patrol officer.
We lost him in 2015 to a short battle with ALS.
After his death, we found out how big a deal he really was with the CHP. Although he didn't die in the line of duty, the California state flag was still hung at half mast at the state house.
All of that being said, he never cared much for the CHP. It really was just a job for him. The United States marine Corp was the greatest organization in the history of man kind, in his opinion.
The young marines that folded his flag and fired the salute for him would have been all he ever asked for his service.

The actor (R Lee Ermey) was a real Marine drill instructor. He was originally brought in as a consultant. But he did such a good job that Kubrick just had him play the character.

the best part is, is that the whole segment that they do here is all improvised
A fellow recruit asked multiple times to go to the head on his final attempt he said "sir its an emergency!" The DI said "An emergency?! If it was an emergency I'd hear sirens!!' And made the recruit run around the squad bay making ambulance noises. I myself was made to stand in front of a mirror one time and point at myself and say" I'm not stupid" and then point at the mirror and say "you're stupid"😂
LOL same thing happened in my unit PI 1044 2005 rct stevens had to do the "im not stupid your stupid" for like 45 minutes
Same here on both stories. Had a dude making the siren sound and whipping his skivy shirt over his head like an emergency flasher as well. Across the practice parade deck. And we had a recruit do the moonbeam in the mirror only it was “I’m not crazy, your crazy” . It was the recruit with a lisp too, so hard to not laugh.
That's fuckin hilarious
I heard a similar story of a guy who laughed and did the point in the mirror and say “I’m not funny, you’re funny.” Lol
Chad Mayper I have to admit I got smoked several times for laughing. Myself and another recruit had to do funny push-ups in unison. Instead of counting the push-ups we just said ha-ha-ha-ha every time we came up. He walked by us and asked if it’s still funny, I said sir no sir, to which he replied bullshit I just heard you say Hah Hah Hah Hah keep pushing
We had a recruit named Ramirez, he was having issues shooting his rifle on the range. All over the place… DI SSGT Holt said, “Hey Ramirez I bet if we get you a lowrider and let you hang out the window you might be able to hit something…” 😂🤣

nice fake story man.
I've told people the only difference between boot camp and this part of the movie is the movie was about 2 hrs and boot camp was 12 weeks. And there were two Jr drill instructors. MCRD San Diego. USMC 82-86. SEMPER FI
He made it look so easy because before he went into acting, Ermey was a DI.
Fact is, they didn't teach him these insults ... these were HIS OWN improvised insults that the director gave him liberty to pursue. He just said "action", and he tore the recruits a new one every shoot...
I beg to differ; I think every thing that Lee Ermey as Gunney Hartman said I heard on Parris Island. "Mary Jane Rotten Crotch" , "If I die on the Russian front, bury me with a Russian c__t", and the infamous "This is my rifle, this is my gun" maneuver. The only thing that I ever had a problem with was Gunney Hartman's treatment of Private Pyle. It was a subtle difference but, though our DI's did everything that Hartman did, I've always thought that Gunney Hartman was portrayed with a slightly sadistic streak when it came to Private Pyle. Even at the height of the Vietnam war, our DI's on Parris Island did their best to make sure we graduated as a basically trained Marine. Sure, there were a few guys who were taken out of our platoon to go to the "Fat Body" platoon to lose weight and then they joined with a later platoon to finish training. The one's who just had a bad attitude were sent back to the "Motivation Platoon" to get "squared away" and then start training from day one again. The mere threat of getting "set back" and having to go through boot camp all over again was, for most of us I believe, a huge motivating factor for us to get thru each day and do the best that we could so that we could get off of that damned island. One of our DI's once said that the shortest way off of the island was the right way; get your "ass in gear" and give at 100% everyday. Hell, at that time because of the need for fresh bodies in Vietnam, we only had 8 weeks of boot camp. I was one week out of high school and even had my 18th birthday on the island. God, we were young and dumb but we were motivated as hell.
There's a video on RUclips about how Ermey got the role. These insults came from when he was doing some screen tests with the actors and was filling in for the original actor. Ermey wanted the role for himself, so he used the screen tests as a way of showing Kubrick what he could do. Kubrick liked it and had his assistant write it all down.
He was actually a DI before he was an actor.
Well, this particular scene is exactly like in the book, in terms of cursing, not much improv at all. Other scenes have a lot of it, but not this one.
No, difference is...
Combat Veteran.
Your foe will not wait while you tie your boots.
R Lee was asked about striking recruits. He said it was necessary at that time because they only had a short time to toughen up the men before sending them to Vietnam. He wasn't proud of it but he admitted doing it.
My daddy went in during the early 60s and talked a little about boot camp.
He said it was so bad at times that he couldn't believe he got into that position.
He quit school and went in at 17.
