Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war film by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford. The title refers to the full metal jacket bullet type of ammunition used by infantry riflemen. The film follows a squad of U.S. Marines through their United States Marine Corps Recruit Training and depicts some of the experiences of two of them in the Tet Offensive (1968) during the Vietnam War.

This location was used for the march on 'Parris Island, South Carolina' with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), leading the Marine recruits into a chant.
