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)

Snag.1

A Date for the Colonel's Daughter - S1-E10

Other mistake: The Colonel has his officer insignia on his shirt collar with a tie during the day while at the office. Later at home, he is in full uniform with tie and jacket, and he doesn't have his officer insignia on his shirt collar. (00:01:00 - 00:11:00)

Gomer and the Dragon Lady - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Sgt. Carter and two buddies are drinking beer in mugs. The "Dragon Lady" flips a man - he hits the table and knocks over a beer bottle and a beer mug on to the floor. When Sgt. Carter and his buddies go back to sit at the table all three beer bottles and mugs with beer are back on the table. (00:06:00 - 00:07:00)

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.
