Gunny helps Hollywood get it right...



Just glancing through some of my feeds on my soon to be killed Google Reader, I ran across the advertisement for GI Joe Retaliation.

I was about to keep going when the photo of the Joe with the SCAR hit me.

Son of a bitch!  The guy has the latest "setup" going on his rifle and even shows a little weapons knowledge with keeping his finger off the trigger and such.

I flowed through the other advertising photos and what do you know.  The guys are all showing a bit of "real deal" military gear mixed in with the fanciful.

Hollywood isn't that good.  They got some professional help to get so much "right".  Let me introduce you to Gunny Terry.

This is from IMDb.
Gunnery Sergeant Quay Terry is a California Native who has served in the US Marine Corps for twenty years. An Iraq War veteran, Terry combines his active duty experience and his extensive knowledge of military history and tactics and is one of the most sought after technical advisers in the industry. He continues to serve his country as a Reservist in the Marine Corps.
SWEET!

Good work if you can get it.  Technical adviser for Hollywood flicks....Kool.
