How many people die from pneumomia. Seems to be the number one cause of death.

A great American.
Sharon met him 20 years ago when he was up here filming a movie. She was a cook at a hotel in Palmer, and that's where the film crew was staying. He'd come down and sit in the restaurant at 5am or so and just hang out drinking coffee, talking with Shar, hours before the other film crew got up.
The last morning he was there, he was BSing with her as usual. He stopped, looked around a bit, and said : 'You know, this hotel is a real shithole.'
Sharon had to agree, and they both had a chuckle. It was, but it was convenient for the shoot location in the mountains.
RIP, Gunny. You'll be missed.

My dad works with a former marine who loves this scene. Because his drill sergeant "was just like this, only angrier and with coarser language."
He joined in the early 70's, so I am guessing Gunny can relate.

It is sad to see such fine people depart on a different journey, yet it is one we all must take
eventually.
RIP "Gunny" R.Lee Ermey

...So true Elessar...couldn't have said it better ("One we all must take eventually")
Interesting how everything works in this life....everything comes in stages...each stage is so different...and In-between each stage their are things that happen..some good some bad...almost as though it was a test....for the final stage...

Y'know ... I'm REALLY not liking these "RIP Gunny's" There's just something wrong about that ...
I met R Lee at MCRD. They keep a set of quonset huts there where they filmed Gomer Pyle. Whenever they would bust out the "old school" crap, they'd run a crew down to SD. The quonset huts in Heartbreak Ridge are the very same. Got some treadwear on that street. "The Boys of Company C" was his first movie. The opening is filmed right outside 3rd RTBn on the infamous yellow footprints.
How the years go by.

I actually died from pneumonia. It's not hard. You don't know you have it. I had no idea. Typical jarhead mentality. I was never sick. I thought I just had a cold. After the 3rd or 4th faceplant on the patio I got a clue something might be wrong.
It was definitely not worth being a hardass. I'm still paying for that crap.
Anyway ... Semper Fi, Guns. Your eyebrows are unsat. Looks like there's a hedge-fucking-hog growing out of your face. You could plant corn in that shit. I hope they got a set of clippers at MCRD, Heaven so you can un-fuck your ass before reporting.
