Starring: Jim Nabors, Frank Sutton, Ronnie Schell
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)
Sergeant Carter Dates a Pyle - S2-E20
Other mistake: Private Duke Slater's utility uniform shirt is different from the other Marines. Duke's uniform has square pocket flaps with the button exposed, an exposed button front shirt and the sleeves do not have button cuffs. The other Marines' uniforms have tapered pocket flaps with a hidden button, a hidden button front shirt and the sleeves have button cuffs. (00:05:00 - 00:06:00)
Sgt. Carter: Pyle. My old grandmother could do better than that.
Gomer Pyle: Well, bless her heart.
Trivia: In the episode Sgt. Carter said his old girlfriend Rose Pilchek played by Allison Hayes was Miss. Armor Division of 1961. In real life Allison Hayes won the of Miss. District of Columbia and represented DC in the 1949 Miss America pageant. (00:04:14)

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.
