Really, what else is there to say about Ermey? Well, apart from the fact that Stanley Kubrick actually trusted him to ad-lib almost all his banter and during the "Reach-around" line, Kubrick yelled "Cut" and demanded he tell him what a reach-around is. He did so, politely, and they reshot the scene with that line

The sample, I think from Full Metal Jacket is in so many Industrial Tracks. Where he says "If you don't wipe that idiotic grin off your face, I'm going to gouge your eyes out and skull**** you!" It's used so much it's like a standard or something.

Full Metal Jacket - Kubrick's only chick flick
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Unless you've been through boot camp you may not realize that it's one long test. If you can't fold your underwear according to the specs why would they give you a tank? How you handle stress is a big part of it. That's where the DI comes in. Ermey exaggerated the role but not by a huge amount.
