Flight of the Intruder

Factual error: Lieutenant Commander Cole goes to the skipper's office with his hands in his pockets and proceeds to talk to him, and not once does he remove his hands from his pockets. This is a military no-no. A person in uniform NEVER walks or talks with his hands in his pockets.
