    Takes Q's, Kicks A!

    R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine gunnery sergeant, and the star of the movie Full Metal Jacket, is the host of a half-hour question-and-answer show, in which he answers questions about military technology. Send him your questions and if they use them, you'll be notified. OO-RA! SEMPER FI, CARRY ON!

    Amazing show

    I used to watch this show with my older brother, we had a lot of fun. I revisited the show when R. Lee Ermey passed away on April 15th 2018

    Watching these episodes is just amazing.

    Ermey is testing a large variety of weapons From rifles to even rocket launchers, Ermey also used to answer the viewer questions.

    Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed.

    Great historical show!

    Granted, inasmuch as I watch the History Channel (mostly due to the lack of better programming on TV) I do get tired of the same narrators picking apart WWII or the Civil War over and over. I really believe that THC is on to something with "Mail Call." R. Lee gives a outstanding performance, it's a rarity that you'll hear one of the Marines answer the narrator of a show with "Yes, Gunnery Sergeant." All in all, a very well executed show.

    Great Job !

    I just want to say 2 things, first Great job, Mail Call., This is the best and only Tv show that gives so much accurate information about Us military ., Second thing is, Why do we "U. S." have a age limit to serve ?

    In ww1 & ww2 people over 40s were serving with no problem just like younger soldier, I think its st.p.d ! They would have a lot more soldiers serving if we're possible for 40s people to serve , I will love to serve my country but I guess I'm to old for US service ! . Thank you for this amazing show !

    WHO HAS THE BEST SHOW ON TV?

    THE MAN IN THE CAP R. LEE ERMEY, that's who!

    MAIL CALL is the perfect show for people like me who are unhealthily obsessed with military history, but just can't listen to their Ben Stein-esque history teachers any longer. R. Lee Ermey is both informative and entertaining. He has the coolest job in the world, I am convinced.

    WATCH THE SHOW TODAY, MAGGOT!
