Episode Summary

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 dresses up as a Roman legionnaire and learns about the ballista; then gets trigger time with the Pedersen Device; and checks out the Rhino PAK (Portable Armor Kit); and finally learns about the Peashooter.moreless

      • R. Lee Ermey: Teddy bear? Try dead-y bear. Yeah! Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: If you were an ancient Roman, or a guy dressed up like an ancient Roman with too much time on your hands, this was your weapon of choice for getting some lead on target. The lead in this case is a four foot arrow with enough stopping power to go all the way through one enemy and then kill the guy behind him! Anybody know how to say "Holy crap" in Latin? Edit
