So essentially they can fill in for a military advisor's role if the production doesn't already have one? Then again, not all productions are lucky to have veterans on hand to provide advice and training (like
The Way of the Gun had a Navy SEAL advising on the production since he was the director's brother).

Back to the original topic, here's
another video along that train of thought.
