Ermey passed away from complications related to pneumonia on April 15 at the age of 74, but his interment at Arlington took place nine months later due to the backlog at the cemetery. The number of daily requests for services at Arlington for eligible veterans has become so great that delays of several months for burials are common.

Former USMC Drill Instructor R. Lee Ermey plays a shrink in this 0:30 Geico commercial, but is much too easy on him. My father used to do Drill Instructor rants for my entertainment when I was a kid, so I am a connoisseur of the genre.
