This story really happend - however the movie is pure trash and fiction. It iwas filmed in Canada. The story happened in the mojave desert in 29 Palms, CA. I'm sure they could have found a small piece of the Dale mining district to film in even during the panemic - folks were filming in the area. Marines with long hair - please. These were pfc's 1 and 2 strips - they looked like slobs and there DI would have had them doing so many push ups and cutting the hair. Not base housing. I could go on. Don't waste your time. But also don't forget Erin and what happened to her.
