Military movies tend to portray training and combat scenes but by-pass the routine, repetition and administrative work that defines daily service. The meaning of these mundane activities for personnel is built slowly through shared experience.
Learning outcomes:
  • Appreciate that movies depict a narrow perspective of the military
  • Appreciate core functions of routine and administrative activities in the military
  • Appreciate that civilians have a different perspective of the military than serving members
