Absolutely. The closest thing on film to what I went through.My son told me about that the other day..... I told him Full Metal Jacket was the most realistic depiction of Marine Boot Camp I had ever seen in a film to date with Ermey's portrayal. He was blown away by the movie at 15 years old.
RIP Gunny. BTW, I skated through boot camp, even by Navy standards. Was in a drill company. Extra time was spent learning how to catch a rifle with a bayonet attached, not on the grinder doing a 16 count manual of arms.
