R. Lee Ermey - Standing Post in Heaven

[USMC-03]

Just saw that Gunny Ermey passed earlier today. I met him briefly about 15 years ago; just as nice and courteous as you could imagine.

I will miss him very much. Hopefully there's a lot less standing post and more sending lead downrange for him.

Thank You!

I hope he's up there with a minigun and unlimited ammo.

RIP Gunney.

Semper Fi Lee, another one at Heavens Gates...

Always sad to lose another Marine...

Thank you Gunny (hon).

Definitely will be missed by many - RIP, and leave a little ammo for the rest of us when we get there.

Well Damn!
He would have been a cool guy to meet...
He was always worth watching in whatever show he was in.

The only Marine ever promoted in retirement.

I have this image of him reporting into heaven and being met by the legends - Chesty Puller, John Basilone, Dan Daly, and on...

And the first words anyone says to him:




You've got fire watch, boot...

 

[Stomper]

I'd wager he'd tell St. Peter he's got EXACTLY 3 seconds to wipe that stupid grin off his face and to get down on his knees and choke himself....

Language alert:

"God damit, with MY hand numbnuts!"

Ah, he was good people.

RIP Gunny, Godspeed.

Ahh Man! I love Gunny! I even have a poster of him up in the Mygrain silo... Dammit.

One of my very few heroes.

I'll miss his YouTube videos and various appearances on gun channels.

Great man, good actor; I'll miss him.

I had the pleasure of shooting with him a couple of years at the CMP Western games down in Phoenix. Great guy and very gracious. I have a framed picture wth he and I at the firing line... Sad day indeed...

Sad day! I met the Gunny in the Sand box doing a show, what a awesome experience! He had some very choice words to share, and a great humor about him! God speed Gunny, save some for me!
