It is with great sadness that we heard that the legend Ronald Lee Ermey has passed away.
He was a former United States Marine Corps staff sergeant and an honorary gunnery sergeant; during his tenure in the U.S. Marine Corps he served as a drill instructor.
Ronald Lee Ermey (March 24, 1944 – April 15, 2018) was an American actor and voice actor known for playing Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, which earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
The film Full Metal Jacket is responsible for many young men joining the Marines, be is U.S. or Royal Marines.
I know for a fact that we at Bulletproofbodies were inspired.
“Do you maggots understand?
Bullshit I can’t hear you.

Ronald Lee Ermey, you were an inspiration and the Bulletproofbodies Team Salute you.
