A friend and I were discussing the strereotypical, loud mouthed drill
sargeant--the prototype would have to be Louis Gossett, Jr. in AN OFFICER
AND A GENTLEMAN.
 
Would ya'll be willing to list other examples of this character on the screen?
 
Off the top of my head, I can name two more.  The hilarious basic training
sequences in Woody Allen's LOVE AND DEATH, and also the sargent in FULL
METAL JACKET.
 
Could anyone else help me out?
 
Thanks--
 
David
