    Can anyone name this Marine and name this movie?

    That Marine is Gunnery Sargent Robert L. Ermey in the movie "Boys of company C".

    I think it may be from Full Metal Jacket or The Boys in Company C and his name is GySgt R. Lee Emmey

    Wow, he must've been young in that movie, I can barely recognize him.
    Is it a good movie?

    Jetdawgg,
    I don't think there is a scene in "The Boys from Company C" where GySgt Ermey is in any building higher than ground level and if my memory serves correct, Full Metal Jacket played out on ground floor as well. Attack on Firebase Gloria (?) seems to ring a bell but I am not quite sure. The photo above is on a floor higher than ground level.

    Firebase Gloria was only in Vietnam and he wasn't a D.I. in it. iamarepublican you can get it it's ok but they show the Boots with a m-16 I went in in 73 after Vietnam we still used the m-14 in Boot drives me nuts when the facts are wrong like the move Santa Fe Trail totaly history wrong

    "Siege of Firebase Gloria" is the name you are looking for, and R. Lee Ermey didn't play a DI in that one. Not a bad movie overall but not the greatest.

    The photo shows R. Lee Ermey as a Drill instructor in the movie (made for TV) "Boys in Company C", which was very loosely based on the Phillip Caputo book, "Rumor of War".

    The movie got bad reviews even as a 'made for TV' deal. It's about what you would expect from a 'made for TV' movie from 1979 or so.

    I think just like Full Metal Jacket, Boys in Company C is spectacular during the boot camp scenes.
