@ 1400 Mail Call
Tank/Gatling Gun/Samurai Sword
R. Lee Ermey, who played the sergeant in "Full Metal Jacket", applies his gruff sense of humor in this half-hour series that answers viewers' mail about what the armed forces were, and really are, like! Shot on location, Ermey reads the questions on air and then sends them out to military experts in the field for answers and brief demonstrations. In this episode, he finds out how to steer the WWII tank M5A1 (the Stuart); how fast a Gatling gun can fire; and why the samurai sword is so powerful. TV PG

Today, the recruits take on the complete experience of throwing live grenades. Also, Richard comes face to face with the third and final PT (Physical Training) Test. If he fails, he won't move on.

Hi Sabot:
I know, I saw the add for the movie last night while watching History Channel, And just about junmped for joy. AS B.O.B is one of my all time favorites. Speaking of which, Believ it or not the VERY FIRST time I saw it was at my High School in San-Angelo Texas. To this day I still never figured out WHY they did that or managed to get away with it. BUT I am GLAD that they did. How about you?? Do you remember the first time and place you saw B.O.B ??
