He rose to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, and his Marine service included one and a half tours in Vietnam. After injuries forced him to retire from military service, he moved to the Phillipines, enrolling in the University of Manila, where he studied Criminology and Drama. He has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and has won the Best Supporting Actor Award from the Boston Society of Film Critics.

Ermey was retired from the Corps as a SSgt and spent 33 years in grade until given an honarary promotion to GySgt by General Jones at San Diego a couple of years ago. He was cited for his many years of contributing to the USMC image and constantly educating the people of the United States about the Corps in his films and TV show.

I believe on one of his shows, he admitted to being an "Airdale". So he is one of us.

I've searched my NATOPS Manual from the figure head to the stern post and can't find what the "R" in R. Lee Ermey means. Can anyone help ?
