R. Lee Ermey, who played the sergeant in Full Metal Jacket, applies his gruff sense of humor in this half-hour series that answers viewers' mail about what the armed forces were, and really are, like! In this episode, he travels to the Marine Corps Weapons Training Center for a live fire exercise with the Abrams M1-A1; then offers a history lesson on the battles of Kasserine Pass and El Guttar in North Africa; and finally shows a new type of armor which is stronger than Kevlar.moreless
