    Went to bootcamp in summer of '89.  Watched FMJ about 2 weeks before I left and it scared the fuck out of me.  Imagine my surprise that after processing and upon meeting our Senior Drill Instructor, 3 other mean ass motherfuckers were unleashed upon us.  LMAO.  I had no idea there were 4.  I thought it was just "Daddy."  Anyhoo, the Saturday night before Visitor's Sunday, we watch FMJ in the squad bay, Daddy's treat since we won the Guidon for Platoon of the Cycle.  What a difference 13 weeks makes...LOL.

    R Lee Ermey's performance is so priceless because he wasn't acting, but rather channeling the insane characters that virtually every Drill instructor was.  He didn't need a script because it was just who he was and what a recruit experiences.  The depiction is just pure truth through a needle into your veins.

    My favorite line in the whole flick is his comeback to "Did your parents have any children that lived?"

    "Sir, yes, sir"

    "I bet they regret that."

    Encapsulates the sick-minded thorough dressing down every recruit receives in basic.  Sheer poetry.

    NFG

    Then they fall behind on the payment or other bills and they call the NCO in charge and dock their pay.  Either that or end up at the numerous pawn shops or loan places across the street from the base.

    Ok, maybe.  But they still let you play with guns and blow shit up.

    They absolutely don’t understand marketing at all.

    And as much $$$ they get from the state, it should be simple.  Nope,.' Do you want to do something not very smart, or smart?  LET'S DO OPTION A1'
