DoD Extras Casting Call for DC Shoot

The Department of Defense's Facebook page (trying to wrap my head around that), has posted a extras casting call for Transformers 3 when it films on the National Mall from Tuesday to Thursday. The call is to cast only 33 military extras, limited to DoD volunteers so civilians and non-employees are out of the running. On a related note, ARL Now reports that Transformers 3 will be filming at or around Air Force Memorial from 5:00pm to 10:00pm. The casting call from Seibertron.com:

Transformers 3 would like to have military extras for a big scene that's scheduled to be filmed in Washington, DC on the National Mall next week. The dates of the filming are from Tuesday, October 12, through Thursday, October 14. This is a night scene, so filming would be from 1830 to approximately 0630 the following morning. It's an important scene involving the U.S. military "NEST" team featured in the other Transformers pictures. It's always much better when actual military personnel portray military extras, rather than civilians.
