🎖️ Real experience matters most. For our Air Force, Navy & Coast Guard scenes, authenticity is everything. No one can impersonate the stature, bearing, and training that real service members carry, and it truly shows on camera. That's why we're prioritizing people with real military experience for those roles.
No military background? No problem. Answer "NO" / "NONE" and keep going, there are plenty of other roles!
