Go Gunny
« on: December 29, 2010, 07:51:15 PM »
This video of the Gunny was posted by Breda on her FaceBook page.... thought I'd pass it on...

Couldn't find it on here in a search, so if it has been posted already, sorry..


Tell it all, brother, tell it all.....

Here's the thing that gets me. R. Lee has got to be in his mid seventies. Now, take every SD trainer you've met in person or seen on video. Compare the way they walked and carried themselves to the way the Gunny did when he walked onto that stage and waited for the music to stop. I'm dead serious here folks, humor the Quaker and rewind that clip, watch the Gunny's stance and bearing. Ask yourself if you dropped him into Detroit's worst neighborhood unarmed and he walked through it like that, if any but a very stupid man would screw with him. The SD guys? Maybe. Sometimes projecting the right attitude, not aggressive, just dangerous, is the best weapon. Sad thing is, you don't get that from a video. :-\

FQ - That is not only Marine, but that is Drill Sargent you see you Mamby Pamby Jack Wagon  ;)

There is an instructor that taught body language, but my old mind if failing me.  I've quoted him so many times that I am past embarrassed to down right scared.  It will come to me before I go to bed, but my favorite is that when confronted you don't want to look like a sheep or  aggressive, but you want to be the the grissle that they don't want to tangle with!

Another retired Drill Sgt. (here at DRTV), ;) reminded us of the phrase:


Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

Met the Gunny at the NRA show this year. The line to get a pic and autograph at the Glock area stretched a very long way.

He remained at his "post" all day for two days. I had a brief meet with him as he was exiting the Conv. Center, via side door. If I can get my ex-wife to upload the damn pics I've been waiting on, she snapped a shot of him.
 
What you see is what you get with the Gunny. No phony, plastic, celebrity snobbery there. You still could drop him in the worst ghetto of Detroit, and he'd walk right the hell out like he owned it.

Great American.  OBTW, he still scares the mamby-pamby grasseating, pacifist, liberals. 8)

The "Look" you want to project to a potential attacker is one that will give him the impression you are looking at him and trying to calculate how  many quart jars you can fill with him.

I have found that "dodgey" characters seldom try to rob some one who looks like they may try to mug the "dodgey" character.  ;D
I think it's "professional courtesy"    ;D

I was once accused of "fact bombing," but I can't help myself.  In the Marine Corps, we call them Drill Instructors, as opposed to Drill Sergeants.
