Character mistake: The uniform/costume that Major Tim Kerry, a Marine Military Aide to the President, is wearing, includes a Service Aiguillette made of 4 loops of round gold wire and scarlet cord.

A military aide to the President would wear 4 loops, all gold (as seen being worn by Commander Ray Trapp). (00:29:00)
Continuity mistake: We see Fornell handing Gibbs a beer at his house and his phone is in his right hand. When the shot changes, his phone is now in his left hand. (00:10:40)
