Love the stories on this thread BigBen, but I gotta correct you here. It was R. Lee Ermey, who started out as a technical advisor for the movie.
From IMDB:
Quote:

Former US Marines Drill Instructor R. Lee Ermey was hired as a consultant on how to drill USMC style. He performed a demonstration on videotape in which he yelled obscene insults and abuse for fifteen minutes without stopping, repeating himself, or even flinching - despite being continuously pelted with tennis balls and oranges. Director Stanley Kubrick was so impressed that he cast R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann.

Carry on.
