Seeking the following roles:

 

Full Speed Ahead

 

FC3 – FC2 TIM SMITH – Any Ethnicity Male.  20-25yrs. (2013-2016).  A quiet, self-contained ambitious and proud Sailor.

TIM is smart and focused, a team player who realizes the Navy has given him a leg up from a bad start in life. Doesn’t rest for a minute, likes to keep busy and see the job done right.  SMITH did not join immediately out of high school, so he is slightly older than several of his shipmates.  He is starting to lose his good attitude in response to his frustrating environment.

LEAD $500+10% (if agent) per shoot day.   Likely shoots 3 days.

 

FC3 – FC2 SARAH JORDAN – Any Ethnicity Female. 20-25yrs. (2013-2016).  Skilled, but a slacker.  Volatile, lacks proper military bearing.  Can become grouchy, even resentful at times.  Hardened and cynical her toxic attitude is negatively affecting her shipmates. Hiding a difficult relationship with her boyfriend. Likes to work hard, but play even harder.

LEAD $500+10% (if agent) per shoot day.  Likely shoots 3 days.

 

FC1 JOSH DURST – Any Ethnicity Male.  Late 20s. (2013-2014).  Popular and outgoing JOSH struggles to strike a balance between “buttoned up leader” and “friend” with his Sailors.  At times stressed, frustrated and anxious. Never intentionally mean, but has a reputation for playing favorites. Tends to be embarrassed when he doesn’t have the answer.  When mistakes are made, DURST deflects the blame, and is apt to scapegoat those below him.  He has been known to take undeserved glory.  Likes to let off steam when given the opportunity.

LEAD $500+10% (if agent) per shoot day. Likely shoots 2 days.

 

FC3 BRYAN SUMNER – Any Ethnicity Male. 18-25yrs. (2016).  Quiet and shy, BRYAN has difficulty finding his voice and speaking up for himself.  Nervous, easily intimidated and frequently withdrawn.  Has trouble making eye-contact.   Despite his lack of people skills, BRYAN is smart and innovative, a creative thinker.  There is a place for him, he just needs a bit of compassion to give him room to gain self confidence.

LEAD $500+10% (if agent) per shoot day.  Likely shoots 2 days.

 

E7 CHIEF JOHN THOMAS – Any Ethnicity Male. 35-40yrs. (2013-2014). Commanding, but harried.  An “old school” type that doesn’t suffer fools lightly.  Wants his Sailors to “just figure it out and get it done” without a lot of hand holding.  Not a great communicator. Terse and distant.  Presides over a division that has some problems and, he might just be one of them.  Doesn’t understand why the younger generation questions authority, feeling they too often want to know “why” they have to do what they’re told to do.   He doesn’t come around often, but when he does, it’s usually because someone is in trouble.

LEAD $500+10% (if agent) per shoot day.  Likely shoots 1 day.

 

LTJG KATHRYN JONES – Any Ethnicity Female. 25-35yrs. (2013-2014).  Excellent leader, even-keeled, disciplined, caring. Aware of the many pressures her Sailors are under.  Empathetic and fair.  Hands on and willing to help when she has the time.  Does not run from a crisis.

LT GARY CLARK – Any Ethnicity Male. 25-35yrs. (2014).  A skilled leader who has high standards and expects everyone to meet them. Can be a bit intimidating about getting the job done.  No one wants to let him down.

SUPPORTING $400+10% (if agent) per shoot day. Likely shoots 1 day.

 

LTJG SELLERS – Any Ethnicity Male or Female. 25-35yrs. (2016). No nonsense yet polite.  Makes decisions easily.  Knows what will work and what won’t work.  MOS.
