Review of Chatting with Bill

"Chatting with Bill" recounts the intriguing experiences of Bill Dewberry's time in Marine Corps Boot Camp. My grandfather was a Marine as well, and it is interesting to hear similar stories from someone completely unrelated. I enjoyed all of Bill's anecdotes, but a bit of narration would have been nice, even as just an intro or outro. Furthermore, some background music or ambient "military sounds" would have amped up the mood, since this is not a somber subject and has leeway for creative additions. Other than those tips, this was a cool story and nicely edited. I really enjoyed hearing the stories recounted by Bill and I think that taking it further by collecting more stories from other veterans and compiling them could be an awesome piece.
