Not a sarge, not drill sergeant, not a “Gunny”!*

Staff Sergeant USMC: Yes; sergeants USMC are not referred to as...”sarge”!!!!!

Drill Instructor (DI) USMC: Yes

“Honorary” Gunnery Sergeant USMC: Yes*

*For example...

Ermey was given, some time after his service as a S/Sgt in the USMC, and after his having established himself as an “actor,” an honorary gunnery sergeant “promotion” by a CMC of the Corps.

“This serves to remind me that Benjamin Franklin was the recipient of one or more “honorary” doctorates. Honorary doctorates are not “earned” degrees, nor conferred on the basis of work done or academic achievements met, etc..

I have read, that Franklin thereafter went by… “Doctor Franklin.” Some say he even insisted that members of Congress address him as such. Whether or not anyone ever took him seriously and complied, I don’t know. Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors), and others, BTW, have also been promoted to honorary Marine Corps ranks, but of course, Nabors was best known anyway as a comic.

Just MY Opinions...

TCM.

What's TCM? Turner Classic Movies?

The only movie I've seen Ermey in that turns my stomach is "Saving Silverman".

Grant I was in the NAVY, I loved my Marines and especially the Gunnys, who always seemed to be in the mix of things yelling and screaming at everyone. The Wife and I love Gunny from this ad to Full Metal Jacket.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

So I guess it should have been listed as TCSM. Sorry for any confusion.
