OFFLINE

I'm sorry there was no letter Apryl, I'm with you today though, no letter :/ I also sent 2!
Oh well, like you said there's always tomorrow, but for the remainder of today I'm going to be cranky lol hope everyone else had better luck! :]

OFFLINE

Oh Amanda...I'm really feeling for you as I know it has been awhile since you have gotten a letter....... I am so sorry......I'm not going to **** about it anymore today just because of that!!!! LOL....But Im with you...

OFFLINE

I THINK I FOUND THE VIDEO! I'm trying so hard not to cry right now as I am at work but I think I found it! It goes by really fast and it's not very clear so I'm going to try and pause it when it gets to the log drill but I'll post the link!

It's the video on the right, if anyone can find a bigger version where you can actually rewind please please please let me know! :]]]

OFFLINE

It was through a Texas news station which is probably why we kept coming up empty handed! I was looking for a California news station!

OFFLINE

Amanda I watched it but I am not sure if that is the one you were referring to?????? Were our guys supposed to be in this video?????? Of course I'm not totally sure who to look for and where they might be....I scrolled through two videos that said USMC Boot Camp San Diego with dates after 4-11.....What was the title of the video again?????? Maybe I can find it on You Tube??????

OFFLINE

Well this is the only video that I was able to find with the log drill shown in it AND the only one that matches the date Steven sent the letter, he said "I'm on TV!" which makes it seem like it was for a news station not a demo video for the Marines or anything. I doubt they would have multiple news crews filming so I can only imagine this is it. I don't know though, now I'm not sure :/

OFFLINE

Well I have tried to fond it on You Tube as well and I had no success.......It seemed like it was of the recruits that had just graduated but I dont know...maybe you and I watched different videos.....Did you actually see Steven in the video????? I wasn't trying to burst your bubble by any means so please accept my apologies.....I guess I just don't know what the hell I'm looking for!!!!!! But that is nothing new!!!! LOL.....I saw two videos...one on the very first page and then I saw one on page 3......:/

OFFLINE

Unless they (the news channel) did their famous editing and that is why I can't tell who is in it or not......They love to do that!!!! But if you look at it again and see Steven please let me know....like which one he is on the line or something!!!!!!

OFFLINE

Oh no worries lol I just got excited before I was certain, I'll have to ask him in the letter I write today. It doesn't sound like we watched the same video though lol no one looked like they were graduating in the video I watched, that was in a different one though so you're not crazy! When you copy and paste that URL it's on that page on the far right hand side in a small-ish box, it looks more like an advertisement than anything, the website isn't very well executed. But the log drill clip is so short, I mean a couple of the guys look like him. OH! Something else, in the log drill clip there's a DI wearing a yellow shirt, which is our color! So I think it is the video, I guess Steven just thought it would have been longer than what was shown, which is probably the case, they just cut most of it out :/

OFFLINE

I just re-watched it for the hundredth time and I really feel like Steven is the one in the middle! I paused it at a good time! It looks like his head :]]

OFFLINE

Ok I am for sure going to go back and look then!!!! You said the one in the middle...and a yellow shirt??? WOW I missed that entirely!!!!! .........And it could be that it was longer but for that news segment they edited and chopped some of it out!! HOW COULD THEY DO THAT??!!!!! ::.....

OFFLINE

Ok I saw the yellow shirt this time!!! How in the hell did I miss that the first 10 times I watched it???? ::.....Ok so you say the one in the middle....let me make sure I am getting the right guy....LOL....When you are watching the log...there is the DI and then the last 3 to our right when we are facing the comp....that one in the middle you think is Steven??? The really tall one right????? Well for YOU Amanda I HOPE IT WAS Steven!!!!! YAY!!!

OFFLINE

I'm hoping that worked? He's in front of the super tall one, there's two guys behind him and two in front of him.
And I totally missed the yellow shirt too! I think we were just so focused on the guys we completely disregarded it haha but yes I will definitely ask him in my letter tonight and let you know whenever I find out! :]]
