Re: [cactuswings 2702] REQ.Victorville Tours.?

So , speaking of VCV , who remembers when I wrote the post about the Camo Dudes with the white p/u truck with the dead body in the back .

Well I did find out that what I saw behind the L-1011s to the North East
was not a real body , nor were the Camo dudes - actual not military at all.

While recently watching the movie " JarHead " I was trying to find out about all the MAT aircraft used in the troop transport .

I used the app for IMDB - Internet Movie Data Base where I found out a little known secret about the movie location :

Jarhead was filmed at KVCV in 2005 . With that being said , the timeline matches perfectly ( July/August 2004 ) as the production
company held their own boot camp for the actors on the perimeter of the exterior fence line to the sewage treatment plant.

What I observed , was not a body dump , but part of the actual boot camp that Jaime Foxx and Jake Gyllenhaal were part of preparing for their roles in the movie .

If anyone can tie up these a/c for me , thanks .
