Lone Survivor casting updates and pictures!

 @Matt2point0  @Neptune75 been through BUDS PRACTICALLY twice, you say. Another words, he did not make it? If he did not make it, then back to Hitokiri04's comment; "why is a guy like Dan Bilzerian in this film?

@Neptune75 PS: If I did ever get to work on a carrier I'd be wearing an F-18!... Probably not but it's fun to dream!

@Neptune75 Construction. I'd love to get on carrier one day though!

@engelbrad do you wear green on a carrier :) or you really a construction worker?

@Neptune75 I stripe runways and keep road builders out of harms way. Make sure you slow down in construction zones on your way to Washington!;)

 @Neptune75  @hjw1dr  @Neptune75  @Txazz  @Tango9  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 Neptune, Happy Birthday bro...and Congrats on the govt. pos, good on you....6

@engelbrad Now I would really like to know what you do sir :)

@engelbrad @engelbrad You sir always ask that right questions that I can't answer, curiosity is a common thing we share.

 @Neptune75  @hjw1dr  @Neptune75  @Txazz  @Tango9  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04   Congratulations, Neptune and wishing you a very happy Birthday :)

 Happy birthday and good luck to you, @Neptune75 

@Neptune75 What will you be doing? Congrats!

@hjw1dr @Neptune75 @Txazz @Tango9 @StormR @engelbrad @Hitokiri04 I made confusion with this post. Today is my birthday that I tottaly forgot about, I recived a letter that will allow me to proceed with a government position that iv been waiting on for a long time, and the timing was perfect that's all. I am just great full knowing my hard work paid off.

 @Neptune75  @Txazz  @Tango9  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @Hitokiri04 

Glad you shared.

Does that mean you didn't know today was your birthday, but just got records?

or that you finally got the answer you needed to hear?

Anyway, glad you're here.

 @Neptune75  @Txazz  @Tango9  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04  @StormR  @engelbrad  

 Neptune, I don't fully understand you big news, but if today is your birthday I wanted to wish you a happy day. Sounds like it has been an interesting day with some emotional ups and downs. Glad to have you here.

 @ThePatriots  @StormR  @Tango9

 That would be cool! I love the "No Shit, There I Was..." stories. Really hope you can get leave in June. I think this will be a great weekend. When does your wife get back from her deployment? And dang it I should have asked a while ago if there were care packages we (or I) could have sent. One way or another you will have to wish her a Merry Christmas for me. If she is somewhere with a Green Beans Coffee, I can send her a gift card for X-mas.

 @LauraKinCA  @StormR  @Tango9 That's pretty cool. I'll have to dig into that. Maybe she can get a "No shit there I was" K9 story or something. 

 @ThePatriots  @StormR @Tango9 

 Jaycel just reminded me that Mike did two articles (Feb & March) and I found one other one about military dogs that BW wrote when I searched Dogs of War just now. I will have to read all three now.

 @LauraKinCA  @StormR If I'm able to take leave in June, I would love that. I just emailed her to see if she could talk to some of the handlers near her and see if any of them would be able to make contact. 

 @CK5150  

 CK, see my other post if you are interested in our SOFREP meet up in CO.

 @ThePatriots  @StormR

 Storm was the one who brought up wanting an article about military working dogs, but I also think it is a great idea. I suggested Mike Ritland (BW's friend) but that would be great if your better half can help out. I assume the dogs where she is work with the EOD guys? BTW, I am trying to get the word out (now that we have a plan) and see who is interested... we are planning a non-sanctioned SOFREP meet up for 6/15-17 in CO. If you are interested, I can give you Tango9's email.

 @LauraKinCA  @StormR In regards to K9's and their handlers, what kind of info are you looking for? Maybe I can send a distress signal to my better half. There are several where she's currently calling home...

 @Tango9 sorry, man, I posted before i saw the litany of responses about your infatuation.  that's ok, i like bp's other woman, ms aniston.

 @Tango9  Really?  two words.....billy bob

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 That would be a mission! It's been 7 years and I'm thinking alot of them have moved down stream. Did they get a lot of equipment? ... Havn't read about all of that.

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 Not a reporter and more of a unit its mission to revisit the site and track down the enemy fighters who retrieved the seals equipments.

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 You want to be a reporter or are seeking to investigate?

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 Typing error. Corrected.

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 @engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 I want to make sure I cover all my exits. I want to make sure I have a solid analysis. Between the book content, videos, interviews, info been published on various sites. My head is spinning looking for answers. But I can tell you, there are magnificent amount of details lost and left floating in a black hole. I wish and this is one of my dreams, to go to Kunar province and do what I do best, and that's is to dig truth and facts out. Call me crazy.

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 Woah... Where did that go...I was reading...

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 lol on AJ's lips! I'm in Neptune. What have you found?

 @TKW406  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 One classy chick!

Neptune, I'm interested too.

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04 I'm interested to hear what you got.  (Not a fan of Angelina or her lips)  

http://cdn.thegloss.com/files/2012/02/jolie2.jpg

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 Found some interacting stuff related to Marcus book and the after math. Are you interested or want to keep dreaming about Angelina's lips:)

 @TKW406

 Copy that... will do.

 @TKW406  @StormR  @LauraKinCA

 http://www.uswardogs.org/

 @LauraKinCA  Interesting.  I had not heard of SEALs being dog handlers as well...that raises even more questions :)   I have a vague memory of seeing a photo of SOF jump out of planes with dogs, but I don't know which SOF it was.

 @StormR  @LauraKinCA

 I'm pretty sure that Mike became a dog trainer because of his dog handling experience as a SEAL, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, he and BW probably have good contacts for active duty folks.

 @StormR  @LauraKinCA  Check this out. This pooch is equipped (and probably trained) to do some serious work w/ our SOF guys.  http://www.mnn.com/sites/default/files/k9-mnn.jpg

@LauraKinCA @Tango9   Laura, Mike is a dog trainer, but I believe he was a SEAL during his active duty days.  I would be interested in hearing from someone who was an active duty dog handler.  Most of them work in bomb detection and disposal.

 @Tango9  @StormR

 little gremlins is right :) feisty little thing she was. loved being BY the water but not so much IN the water. very good boat dog. I miss her so much! my new one Jazzy is great, but not the same.

 @LauraKinCA  @StormR we had schipperkes!  the one dog no one has every heard of!  smarter than they need to be though.... little gremlins.  For thoseof you watching at home, they are little black fuzzies that weigh in at about 15 lbs.  Were bred and used originally as ratters on navy ships.  Smart as hell.

Lost one to mange.  genetic, wasn't a damn thing we could to about it.

Great dogs, I put them up with shepherds and I'd have them except the damn eagles and hawks would see them as lunch.

 @LauraKinCA  @StormR shoot! yes I forgot about Mike!

 @StormR  

I lost my almost 17-yr old Schipperke a year ago August that I had  since she was two months. I didn't last a month before I had another dog - my  miniature American Eskimo.

 @Tango9  @StormR  @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04  What's wrong with Angelina Jolie? I thought everyone wrote on the wall in their own blood, wore vials of each others' blood around their necks, etc. At least that's my norm...

 @Tango9  @StormR 

 We do have a K-9 contributor - Mike Ritland ! He guest stars on radio, so I think BW could get him to write an article.

 @Tango9 

 "I'm pretty sure he'll be at SHOT you want me to get a pic or a sig?"

Yes, please. I will even promise not to stalk him :)

 @Tango9  @StormR  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 "I will do my best.  I don't think we have any K-9 contributors here, but it's a good point and I'll kick it up the chain. I love my 2 fuzzies (g shepherds) so I'd like to see more of that as well."

9 I had been thinking about submitting similar idea about Military Animals - even Reckless the horse, awesome history.  To think, they just left their dogs in country when they left at one time.  A lot of good info.

ps: Stormy - thanks for bringing subject up.

 @Tango9  You expressed it perfectly, T..the best things said are those that are real, not those that are fancy.  And yes, I will definitely take the hug and cherish it.   Rest well and sweet dreams, T

 @StormR  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 I'm sorry storm.  I was about to log out then actually read that.  I have never, in my 44 years, found a proper way to express it, but:  I know, and I'm so sorry.  How do... I... shoot.  see?  it never works the words never come together.  But I know.  Believe me.  /hug?

 @Tango9   That was a lovely thing to say, T...thank you :)  

 @Tango9  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04   Past my bedtime too - I'm really tired, but sleep hasn't been easy the last few days.  I miss my fuzzies...I lost my Husky 2 years ago and my Rottie 1 year ago.  They were both 14.   I'm still not ready for another one :)

 @StormR  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 bedtime. good call.  I'm not smart enough to know better... it's always a good woman that points you in the right direction, ain't it?

@Tango9 @StormR @engelbrad @Hitokiri04 Night gets, I'll catch you on the flip side tomorrow, I might have an interesting combat analysis for you.

 @Neptune75  @Tango9  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 physics professor.  Or that's what they call me.

I@Tango9 @StormR @engelbrad @Hitokiri04 No class, Jesus Christ, are you still in high school, or dancing lessons:)

 @StormR  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 I will do my best.  I don't think we have any K-9 contributors here, but it's a good point and I'll kick it up the chain. I love my 2 fuzzies (g shepherds) so I'd like to see more of that as well.

Yeah it's past my bedtime but I'm all hopped up of coffee.  Good news is no class tomorrow so I get to sleep in till 0600 (laugh if you want, but around here that's a vacation)

 @Tango9  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04   btw - what are you doing up so late, T - it's way past your bedtime.  Even most of us West Coasters are snoozing right now.

 @Tango9  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04   Tango, I would absolutely swoon with delight with a picture or a signature.  And hey, I can laminate it so my drool won't ruin it :)   And if I remember right, SHOT is in January - close enough to my birthday for it to be the bestest birthday present I'll get :)   

And on another subject, I just watched a segment on the local news about the Military Dog PTSD program at JBLM, and it reminded me that I don't think we've had an article from a dog handler - or was there one?

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04 Good stuff Neptune.  I will check it out.  You're a talented guy.  Just your avatar carries a lot of weight, it's excellent.

 @StormR  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 I'm pretty sure he'll be at SHOT you want me to get a pic or a sig?

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 I'll check it out.

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 You can see my work and some other hobbies I do to keep my sanity. Go on Instagram I go by Neptune33.

 @Tango9  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04   T, the best relevant line I've ever heard came from Bill Crosby:  "Just because I'm on a diet doesn't mean I can't look at the menu."    I drool every time I see Chris Kyle... and I KNOW he's on a diet :)

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 You painted that? Well done Neptune! I'm a serial typoist and bad speller as well.

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 Sorry for the slow understanding on my part, I use my iPhone to be here and the forum looks too small and comments are kinda random, I got to keep moving so I won't be tracked:)

 @Neptune75  @StormR  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @Hitokiri04 I refuse to discuss spelling :)    Seattle has a music museum - the EMP (Experience Music Project).  Last time I rolled through there, I had the opportunity to play a scene from Avatar that was video-taped.   I was supremely lousy at it, but it was great goofy fun.   I lose all track of time at the EMP - particularly in the Jimi Hendix room and the guitar room is sheer heaven.   (Yes, I'm avoiding talking about AJ...even at my most absolute hottest (and I peaked many years ago), I couldn't compete with her :)

 @StormR  @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Hitokiri04 Storm,  here's the cool bit.  I'm sure you can reverse the gender here.  We didn't marry the girl who put on her best ninja sexy man-catching outfit.  Over time, we saw what our significant other looked and behaved like after two weeks in the field: a giant mess.  And we decided:  "Yup, that, there... right there, is my girl."

not much after that.  Deal's done. 

The AJ stuff is just hootin' & hollerin'  I've got my mare.

 @Tango9  @StormR  @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04

 As fast as a circus clown slipping on a banana peel if I was single... (shock collar safety response brought to you by Shanda)... LOL! 

@StormR @engelbrad @Tango9 @Hitokiri04 You mean avatar, James Cameron banana movie

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 It's a painting I made from the pacific. 24x36 oil on canvas . It's Joseph mazzello

 @engelbrad  @StormR  @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04 so she slept with her brother and slashed her arms and wrote stuff on the wall in her own blood?  Who am I to judge?  (and don't any of you guys even think about disagreeing because you KNOW if she rolled in with those lips and those eyes you'd fold like warm laundry)

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04   He likes your picture...   I was going to make a joke about an avitar being blue and 10 feet tall, but I couldn't think of a punchline.

 @Neptune75  @engelbrad  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 Your pic... by your name...

 @Tango9    T, I think you have a groupie <evil grin>

@engelbrad @Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 What the hell is avitar?

 @Neptune75  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04  

"Get my back jack, bitch be crazy."   That sounds like a lyric to an early Rolling Stones song or a late AC/DC song..   I suppose you don't want to talk about puppies?   That's okay - I don't want to either.

 @Neptune75  @Tango9  @StormR  @Hitokiri04

 Like the new avitar Neptune!

 @Tango9  @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04   I'm not a good judge of cuteness in wimmens, I'm afraid.  Last I saw her on that awards show, I was thinking she looked liked Mattel's new has-been Barbie.  It might have been the pose or the molded plastic look...

@Tango9 @StormR @Hitokiri04 Get my back jack, bitch be crazy. I need a topic to crack down on. Any ideas?

 @Tango9  @StormR  @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04

 I think she did her brother T9...;) ... gross screws up hot like right now!...lol

 @StormR  @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04 she is somewhat insane.  that whole thing with billy bob, writing stuff on the wall in her own blood and whatnot.  But she is kinda cute?

 @Neptune75  @Tango9  @Hitokiri04  One of the best things about SOFREP are the experiences of the people here, and how many different directions a conversation can go.  I've never thought about the 'business' end of acting.  I've known a lot of professional musicians, but never actors.   I have a hard enough time just being me - I can't imagine being someone else :)

btw, Tango....her number is 3-1/2 (I think that's the number of husbands..Brad is only half-a-husband)

 @Neptune75  @Tango9  @Hitokiri04 No fucker I want her #! lol!  If she answered I'd pause for 1 second, surprised, but realizing, then I'd turn on the Mac, baby!

I'd have to out stud Brad Pitt but that's easy enough, right?  Course the wife might be concerned but we'll deal with that later.

@Tango9 @Hitokiri04 Lets say you got her number, what would you say to her? Or you just telling us both to shut it:)

 @Neptune75  @Hitokiri04 so.. *cough* which one of you hollywood guys is going to give me Angelina Jolie's phone #?

@Hitokiri04 let me share a fact with you the only solid thing that go through here. I worked as an actor based on the experience I have, you can see me on Jericho episode 21 coalition of the willing. I am the only guy with am M14 strapped to his back. Worked on 24 twice , season 7&8. Met and chated with kiefer Sutherland, almost got fired for doing so. Many government training scenarios, (PilgrimOperations productions) Got my SAG after 2 years of doing that crap. Hollywood is all about who you know, being in BUDS twice is not what got him the part. Connection, connection, connection. That's why I wanted to be in the movie. I was one of the first people to find out. I stopped keeping up with the casting agency, didn't update my profile with them cause I got tired of getting casted as a bad guy, based on my look. Iam the guy who look like wanna blow shit up, faraz character in MOHW is my best friend, had to drop him for being an arogant individual. The progressive commercial guy, tall blond with brown jacket is my best buddy, former ranger, and does acting, met on a set and became buddies. Seal or no seal, that is not what got him the part,period.

@Neptune75 @Matt2point He just seems like an odd casting choice, considering he got kicked out of BUD/S and his celebration of his substance abuse.

 @Matt2point0  Ok. that was my opinion, and this is your opinion. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one:)
