Still remember the first time I saw Full Metal Jacket


This was after I had gone through AOCS in Pensacola. For those who are unfamiliar with it, AOCS was run by USMC DIs instead of Navy Chiefs. It had Navy officers, but they were administrative, not instructional. Think of the movie An Officer and a Gentleman, but that was way too "Hollywood."

I had seen a lot movies and tv shows (Gomer Pyle...lol) before I entered military service, and none provided an accurate depiction of USMC DIs. Then I saw FMJ. My first thought was, "wow, they finally got it right." I learned about his background years later...

Fair winds and following seas!
