Thanks for your comments.

So were you guys involved in the The Pacific since you hoped for it?

[DC Alden]

Some of the military advisors were but not the rest of us, since it was mostly shot in Australia. Personally I think those of us who worked on Band of Brothers got the better deal. Thanks for your comment.

Wow I've done work as an Extra but never like this. This involves some good acting.

[Charmaine Okazaki]

Awesome work! Your voice sounds like a professional narrator and the shots were excellent. I'm going to visit your site for more!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. I did extra work on a movie once, but it was nothing at all compared to what you did. This was so well done and moving that it brought a tear to my eye. You certainly are part of film history.

So how did you get selected to be an extra, and how did you get all the time off from work to do it?

[skeetabix36]

BOB is the best series thats ever been, ever!!! I must've watched it at least 20 times & I never tire of watching it.

I wish I could've been in your shoes. Thanks 4 sharing, I loved it.
