I watched Basic Training last night while the girl was trying to sleep, she was getting pissed listening to the gunny from full metal jacket talk. He was talking like he is a real marine, is that a true statement? If so, I'm thinking he found the best job a marine could find. Getting paid a ton of money to play a marine on tv.
If you're referring to R. Lee Ermey, he was a Marine. I believe he was the advisor for Full Metal Jacket, but he made such an impression on the director, he cast him as the DI. At least that's what I heard.
