The guy's info is accurate, but... hehe... he doesnt strike me as an ex-marine. He even introduces himself as Mr. *whatever his name is* rather than with a rank.

Served in the U.S. Marine Corps from April 1961 to October 1971 under the service number 195 60 39. Was retired as a Staff Sergeant on a medical disability.Ronald Ermey's real life USMC career is not at all on the same level as his famous character Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. In real life, Ermey was a Staff Sergeant and, although a Vietnam veteran, was never awarded the Purple Heart or a combat decoration (Bronze Star, Silver Star, etc).

Although he retired from the United States Marine Corps in 1971, Ermey was later awarded the Honorary rank of Gunnery Sergeant

R. Lee, Jesse James, and Homer Simpson are the last quality left on TV

R. Lee Ermy, the only guy that can make the phrase "I'm gonna rip off yer head and shit down yer neck!" be insanely humerous.
Jesse James, the only wanker that gets to use a 30mm chain gun to destroy a failed car experiment.
Homer Simpson, well.... what can be said about Homer but "D'Oh!"?

All better now.
It's not really a big movie and may be hard to find. It shows up on cable once in a while. There's no real big stars in it and it's an old enough movie (1979 or 80) that it was still uncomfortably too soon after Vietnam for a lot of people to want to go watch it in the theater.
Released in 1978.
But yeah, I watch mail call religously
Think it's a marathon or somesuch.
It's not something people hear about.

Yep.
I started flipping through the cable boxes' schedule, and I was overjoyed when Mail Call kept coming up.

unfortunately it's the history channel so that means the same 5 episodes over and over
