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 learns about the weapons of the German Renaissance in the 16th century, and offers a live demonstration of a more modern weapon, the 9 mm Luger P-08. Gunny then offers up a history lesson on the AFN (American Forces Network) and gives a tribute to WWII journalist Bill Mauldin; and finally talks about the Battle of Britain.moreless
