Hells bells; I haven't heard that one since Ft. Ord in 1962. It was used in training so we would remember to call our rifle a rifle and not a gun. The sergeant would have us hold our rifle with one hand and our johnson with the other and repeat it after him. It was a real interesting experience for a country boy from montana.

I believe the Marine Corp as this was a popular saying before Heavy Metal Jacket.

Way before "Full Metal Jacket" the USMC drill instructors used this little poem to help new recruits remember to call their piece by its correct name.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT FIRST CAME FROM BUT I LEARNED THE LITTLE DITTY WHILE I WAS A GUEST OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND IN SAN DIEGO BACK IN 1957. I LEARNED MANY OTHER THINGS DURING THE 16 WEEKS THAT I WAS THERE BEING LOVINGLY AND GENTLY TAUGHT HOW TO BE A MARINE BY GUNNERY SERGEANT BLACK AND THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF THEM. UH-RAH!

Full Metal Jacket????
No way!
That line has been taught military boot camps for decades.
I learned it in San Diego Navy boot camp in 1973.
