The Gunny has passed.
The Guard detail for Heaven's Gate has a new NCOIC.
I had always hoped for a chance to meet him. Never happened.

Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.
RIP R Lee Ermey

RIP R Lee Ermey
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
Sorry to hear it. I loved this video when I was shopping for my Henry...he seemed like quite a character.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
Appreciate the post, Marine, although it carried the sad news of his passing.
Always enjoyed watching the Gunny. His presentations usually carried a neat, dry sense of humor, and that will be missed.
Great rifle video, RR. Gunny's left-hand hold on that 1860 was tight to the receiver; his target POIs were impressive. And it was fun also to learn about the Spencer and see it in action.
Thanks, Gentlemen.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
Read a little while ago that most of his lines in Full Metal Jacket were not scripted. Stanley Kubrick just had him walk in and start spewing insults in whatever manner Ermey thought would come off as realistic.
RIP.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
He also did about half the bootcamp scenes in an upper body cast. Rewatch that part of the movie and look how stiff his arms and upper body are held. Really bad auto accident. Hard Corps Gunny!

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
He was an unknown pretty much until Full Metal Jacket. It was a very good performance and I was glad to see success come his way after that. I enjoyed following whatever shows he did.
It seems too young to go.

I always enjoyed watching Gunny's videos. He was very knowledgeable, and could put his money where his mouth was when it came to shooting. Without him, FMJ would have been just another war movie - with him, it is a classic.
RIP Gunny.
RIP Gunny.

Had the pleasure of meeting and talking to "The Gunny" at the SHOT show several times. He loved his fans as much as they loved him. He was a regular at the GLOCK booth. RIP Gunny- you will be missed.
