Super Stallion Helicopter/Flying Banana/Navy Hazing/Seabees/GI Jargon/Tank Ammo: #27. At Camp Pendleton, R. Lee Ermey checks out the Marines' 13,000 horsepower CH-53 Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopter, and a Korean War helicopter, the Piasecki H-21B Workhorse--aka the Flying Banana. He gives us the scoop on the Navy's "Crossing the Equator" ritual--a ceremony of creative hazing for "polliwogs"--and how the Seabees built runways in the middle of the Pacific in WWII. Lee explains the military phrase "the G-2" and troops at Fort Knox demonstrate the Abrams battle tank's firepower.
