Gomer and the Queen of Burlesque - S4-E21
Factual error: Gomer is a Private First Class and has one stripe. In his utility uniform Gomer doesn't have metal rank insignia on his collar. All Marines wear their rank on their utility uniforms. (00:06:00)

Sergeant Carter Dates a Pyle - S2-E20
Factual error: U.S. marine utility uniforms have the Marine Corp Emblem and USMC printed in black ink on the left shirt pocket. Private Duke Slater's uniform does not have it printed on his left pocket. His uniform also doesn't have the proper pocket flaps. (00:07:00)
Suggested correction: The EGA's were stenciled iron-on's from a company called Ken Nolan. Their use was optional.
When were they optional? They weren't the first 5 years I was in prior to changing to name tapes in the early 90's.
They were optional when I was in from 1967 to 1970.
Nope. Marine order c-52178 states they must be marked.

My Buddy, the War Hero - S1-E25
Factual error: Gunnery Sgt Jim Mason "Jimbo" only has rifle marksmanship badge and no pistol marksmanship badge on his uniform. As a Marine senior non-commissioned officer he should have both on his uniform like Gunnery Sgt. Carter. (00:21:00)
