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.
Alice Whipple: Harry, how long are we going to be here?
Harry Whipple: As long as it takes.
Alice Whipple: Well, I've got to get to the beauty parlor.
Harry Whipple: You're telling me.

Question: How can Andy meet Sergeant Carter here if they met in the pilot episode of Gomer Pyle, USMC?
Answer: There's no indication they were meeting for the first time, in fact they seem to know each other as Sgt. Carter addresses Andy only as "Sheriff". Gomer Pyle just says his two favorite people are "meeting face to face", and obviously in the pilot episode Sgt. Carter wasn't one of Pyle's favorite people yet.
