Sergeant of the Week - S1-E14

Corrected entry: When Sgt. Carter calls sick bay to check confirm that Gomer is to remain in bed, the nurse says that he has been examined by Lt. Ames. The doctor who examined Gomer was wearing Captain's bars.

Correction: The Marine Corps uses Navy doctors. His Navy rank is lieutenant thus the 2 bars.

Correction: Navy Lieutenants are the same rank as Marine Corps Captains. His uniform is correct.

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.

More trivia for Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

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.
