JAG

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: I was so bugged by protocol errors in early episodes that I stopped watching. For example, there were at least 2 episodes where Navy or Marine officers in utility uniforms were wearing Army brass on their collars. In one episode, "Harm" is walking with his female partner through a garage. He returns the salute of an enlisted man who walks by, but she doesn't. In any event, the garage was indoors, where Naval Service protocol says you don't salute.

Admiral Chegwidden: Nobody pulls a JAG officer off an investigation except me or God, and He hasn't asked.

Trivia: The new neighbor moving into Harm's apartment building is played by Nanci Chambers, who is married to David James Elliott, who portrays Harm. Chambers later had a larger supporting role as Lt. Loren Singer, an ambitious lawyer in the JAG office.

Chosen answer: When landing on an aircraft carrier, a pilot "calls the ball" by confirming to the landing signal officer (LSO) that they have the carrier, and more specifically its landing guidance systems in sight. Carriers use a Fresnel lens system which is a light only visible at a certain angle, so if a pilot sees the "ball" they are at the correct altitude and glide slope for landing.
