In the Navy and the Marines, if someone goes hermantile, they're angry, shouting, and unpredictable. This slang expression is of uncertain origin. It goes back to World War I but has stayed almost exclusively within the military's lexicon and writings related to the Navy or the Marines. This is part of a complete episode.
