Wow, I had not heard this. No news watching last night, and this was my first stop online this morning.

@686 good luck to your daughter.

I really liked his History Channel shows, Locked&Loaded and Mail Call.
For the last 6 years I have stood before a crowd and done my best impression of him at our yearly Zombie Hunt.
The 'Drill Sergeant speech' besides being entertaining is chocked full of hints about the course.
He will live on for decades.

Never will I forget SSG Anderson (Ando)
