Factual error: Sgt. Carter is wearing a plain belt buckle with his dress blues uniform. Since Sgt. Carter is Gunnery Sgt, he is a staff NCO so his buckle should have the USMC emblem on the buckle. (00:24:00)
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.
