      • R. Lee Ermey: Weather you wore a green beret, a flight cap, a banged up old steel pot, or a cover like mine, if you did your job in Vietnam, you are a hero! It was a tough war and you deserve a salute. Semper Fi! Carry on. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: We're back here with an e-mail from George who's in the U. S. Navy and he's got me really steamed up! George writes "What was the mission of the Brown Water Navy? Or is that too complicated for a Jarhead like you to answer?" Hah. Okay, George. I hope you're watching because I want you to read my lips. Drop down and give me twenty-five, you unorganized, grabastice piece of amphibistic (bleeped)! Now, while George is eating dirt, I'm going to show the rest of you the Navy's Riverine Patrol Boats in action. Edit
      • R. Lee Ermey: Suck in your gut! It's time for Mail Call! Edit
