Mail Call

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!

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.

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.

Having known this man from FULL METAL JACKET I was eager to watch him on THC. Within minutes of watching I found a new show I enjoy. I get great kicks out of him demonstrating old machine guns, talking about choppers, joking around, telling us to STAY PUT during commercials, and more. He adds a flavor as NO ONE CAN.

For those of you who enjoy martial arts movies with art...check out IRON & SILK. In the movie the person who portrays China's Master Qingfu Pan is NONE OTHER than himself, as he felt no one could better portray him. He is right.

The live show from the gulf with MAIL CALL was excellent. I have written in to ask about the GLOCK handgun, so if you see it on tv...you'll know who asked.

I found this little show on the history channel, and found that it is simply great. THe premise is simple: You send them email, or letters regarding history of military. Then former U.S. Marine sgt. R Lee Ermey answers them. Simple, good, and always funny
