Ouch. His friends and family bear the burden of this loss. Godspeed to them for a healthy mourning and recovery.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

@Gunny Headlines keep saying "former Marine". He's gonna haunt people.Originally Posted by Gunny
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.

Damn civilians. Technically, they are even more wrong in Ermey's case.
He is a medically retired Staff Sergeant. His back got messed up. No idea how. Anyway, your retirement certificate comes with a cover letter that ensures you understand you are transferred to the Fleet Marine Force Reserve and subject to recall. "Retired" is a misnomer. My paycheck is actually officially titled "Retired/RETAINER pay". You don't get rid of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children until you die
I believe after he got famous they promoted him to Gunny. Know the Corps it was just to keep the paperwork squared away.

Very sad to read this. I loved this man. He was a decent man, and a soldier. And also a great actor! But overall, he was a soldier, a Marine, first and foremost. I always had a lot of respect for this man. I know 73 isn't a child, but still too young for good people.
Rest in peace, Gunny.

Anybody seen the Sergeant Major? I'm starting to get worried. Not that I like him. Sergeants Major made my life "difficult". And yes, I DID spell that right.
