Post by: wadu1 on April 15, 2018, 08:14:44 PM: R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine Corps drill instructor known to millions of moviegoers as the sadistic Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, died Sunday morning, according to his longtime manager.
Semper fidelis (Latin pronunciation: [ˈsɛm.pɛr fɪˈdeː.lɪs]) is a Latin phrase that means "always faithful" or "always loyal".

I know I have visited the barber here in town (Zillah) with my son the same one he has received haircuts from many a times when he was living here. He will be missed.

I had no idea - it even lists Zillah, WA in his Wiki Bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Lee_Ermey

RIP.

That was one of his hallmarks, and that is what made him a fixture as The Gunny.

"LISTEN UP MAGGOTS!!!!" :chuckle:

My late Marine hunting partner and his fellow Marine would watch Full Metal Jacket every year on the anniversary of the founding of The Marine Corps.
