Full Metal Jacket ends in 1968, so lets all take a breath.
Shift your disgust to me calling Foley in OaaG a Drill Sergeant.

Honorable mention to Forest Gump’s drill sergeant. Small but memorable role.

Highway was not a smokey bear.
That was a full functioning active duty platoon he took over.

Was Adolph Caesar's Sergeant Vernon Waters, in A Soldier's Story a DI, or just a guy who was a sergeant? He sure was a hard arse to those Southern blacks under him.
During the Korean War when my dad, a white boy who grew up in Arkansas, enlisted, he had a black Sergeant.
Not a movie, but did Vince Carter start Gomer Pyle, USMC as a DI, and then move to being a "regular" sergeant?

He was a sergeant-instructor so you were at least close on that one.

I have never heard that and even the reference point next to that comment in your Wikipedia link makes no mention of it.

quote:Yeah, that was one of the gags. Carter is relieved that Pyle is done with basic and he won't have to deal with him anymore. Just then Carter becomes a platoon sergeant and Pyle is elated to find out that he's back under Carter.
