Just Plain Bob

Although I love some Stanley Kubrick films (The Shining, The Killing, Spartacus, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange), there are others I don’t care that much for (this one and Eyes Wide Shut). I did really enjoy y’all’s YouTube edit, though. A couple of quick personal stories, kinda/sorta related to this movie. In high school, I had a buddy that was in a hard rock band. He stood 5’6”, couldn’t have weighed more than 130 lbs, and had grown his hair until it hung down to the middle of his back. He shocked me when he said he was going into the Marines after high school. A few months later, I was home from college for the weekend when he rang my door. I almost didn’t recognize him. He’d put on about thirty pounds of lean muscle mass and (obviously) gotten quite the haircut. He loved the Marines. R. Lee Ermey, who played the drill sergeant, was a retired Marine hired to serve as an advisor on the film. Kubrick quickly realized what a great resource Ermey was and cast him as the sergeant. I believe he improvised much of his dialogue. Ermey went on to a lengthy, successful career in Hollywood. Thirty years ago, I went to interview for a job with the Comptroller’s office investigating public corruption. I interviewed with the director and assistant director of the division. The director asked fairly routine questions (where do you see yourself in five years, what do you consider your greatest weakness, etc). My answers were also routine (right here working for you, my greatest weakness is that I just care too damn much about my work, etc). Then, the assistant director took over the interview. He looked so much like R. Lee Ermey that I was taken aback when I first sat across from them. He asked VERY different questions. “You come across a document during an investigation that you feel would make a great piece of evidence. But, you fear that, if you take it, it might not be admissible in court. If you leave it to obtain a warrant, it might be missing when you come back. What do you do and why?” After five minutes of THOSE kind of questions, I found myself thinking, I wish the guy from Full Metal Jacket would quit asking questions and let that other guy start asking questions again. I got a job offer and went to work for them. After two years, my immediate supervisor told me they were re-assigning the teams and that I’d be partnered directly with Paul (R. Lee Ermey’s double’s real name). He intimidated the hell out of me. I was extremely nervous. For the next two years, I rode with him in his Crown Vic from one end of the state to the other, performing investigations everywhere. I learned more in that two years than my other 20+ years with the office combined. He was the best mentor, by a wide margin, that I ever had.

Thanks for sharing that with us, Bob. You and Paul must have some interesting stories to tell from that time.
