The second season of “Army Wives” will look familiar to airmen.

The Lifetime Television drama series is set in the fictional Army base Fort Marshall in Charleston, S.C. To add realism, the show’s producers have filmed at Charleston Air Force Base to get the look of a bustling military installation.

. . .

While crews were scouting locations, Capps said he suggested shooting an aeromedical evacuation scene onboard one of the 315th’s C-17 Globemaster IIIs.

Gee, if we only knew someone there that might be in this.  Hey Al, I have seen just enough short blips of this show to know that like most television shows they can't the uniforms right.  How about squaring them away?

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

LOL. So filming takes place after 10am and before 2pm and focuses near the dining facility.

Army Wives....heh. Lotta hotties running around tho.

Oh we can get a part. Pays $150 a day for the first 8 hours. Not a bad side gig.

A buddy of mine went down and was cast as an Army extra...he's AF. I told him If I ever see you in uniform again with jump wings and a CAB, I'm kicking your ass!!

They want to cast me as a grizzeled old 1SG.....I don't know why.

Big Al!

Are you telling me they could find people to take that job? I cant think of any AF types that would work 8 hrs... not in a ROW.

Hell, to get a chance to hang out with Catherine Bell I would think that even with the Air Force you would have to beat them off with a stick.  I mean it's not like you're talking about squids.

Sorry, were you talking? I didnt hear a thing after Catherine Bell... no matter how bad JAG got... it was always worth watching. Never watched this Army Wives one... dont know what channel or time or date.. maybe I should see if its on youtube.
