R Lee Ermy was not a drill sergeant, he was a drill instructor.

Kubrick having to ask the definition of "reach around" is hilarious. I would have loved to witness that conversation.

R. Lee Ermey's and Vincent D'Onofrio acting in this movie is perfect. Total respect for both

I was always struck by what a fine figure of a man R. Lee Ermey was. Good posture, trim waist, smooth confident stride. The perfect model for a military uniform catalog. R.I.P. R. Lee.

I had always heard that Ermey got the job as the DI after Kubrick watched his audition tape and commented that he'd never heard someone curse for 15 minutes and never repeat himself. Ermey was a real piece of work and I've enjoyed every character I've seen him play throughout his acting career. RIP, Gunny

Having been there, Paris Island, in May of '69, I can tell you that this is the most realistic representation of Marine boot camp & DI's I've Ever seen.

Thank the Lord Ermey was persistent because without him, the basic training doesn't work

My 1965 boot camp experience was pretty much like this movie, and our DI could swear like Hartman too. I’m no worse the wear for it and many of those boot camp lessons have guided me throughout my 75 + years.
