Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 R. Lee Ermey passed away, 1st saw him in boys of co. C, but he is best known for gunnery Sgt. Hartman in full metal jacket. He did a few western, rough riders, the adventures of Briscoe county Jr. And had a lot of cowboy guns on his t.v.show Gunny time.

John Henry Quick Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I suspect there will be a lot more snap and pop when he takes his post guarding the Pearly Gates. Rest in Peace, Teufelhunden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Chesty SASS # 73317 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I met him once after deploying to Iraq. He was the same guy in person as he was on his TV shows. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I just read that 50 percent of his lines in "Full Metal Jacket", he came up with himself. I always watched his shows whenever I could. He had not done a major Hollywood movie in six years after the Hollywood types found out what he stood for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Hazzard, SASS #23254 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. Rest in Peace, Marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Rick Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I met him three times at the SHOT Show. Always generous with his time, if you took the time to stand in line he'd talk to you as long as you wanted to talk. Never tried to rush through a meet & greet - and never left before everyone was talked to. He wasn't at the 2017 SHOT Show (due to health reasons I heard) and I didn't make this year's. I have three of his Glock challenge coins that I'll never part with. Rest in peace Marine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 he was a really nice guy the one time i met him and got to talk a bit - granted there were not a lot of folks there , casual situation , but not that gruff person you expected at all , i enjoyed every performance he ever did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
