The Code

This show could really use a military adviser.

Captain Maya Dobbins needs some advice on wearing the uniform. IE: No Marine ever wears their garrison cap and an angle. Really looked stupid.

The medical doctor was constantly referred to as Commander, while wearing the 2 full stripes on his uniform sleeve of a navy lieutenant, US Navy rank 0-3.

Two officer ranks in the US Navy can be addressed as Commander - a Lieutenant Commander, Navy rank O-4 with 2 full and one 1/2 stripe --- or a full Commander, Navy rank O-5 -- three full stripes.. An O-6 (4 full stripes) is a navy captain. The US Coast Guard used the same system as the navy.

In the Marines, along with the Army and Air Force O-3 officers are captains, O-4s are majors, O-5 are Lt Colonels, and O-6 are (full/bird) Colonels

I never expected reviewers to attack this program about uniforms, customs, etc. I. on the other hand look at the stories and am most pleased about the contents. The stories are fresh and interesting and enjoyable to watch.

Looking forward to seeing the rest and if ever, this series deserves a rating of seven!

I wanted to like this. I remember JAG. this was no JAG. Weak writing but even weaker acting. I honestly thought they might fall asleep at any time.

Maybe it'll get better but I seriously doubt it.

Where to start, male Marines hair would never be that long, Marines never walk around outside without wearing a cover (hat) nor do they walk around outside with their jackets unzipped. All the actors uniforms seem ill fitting and often wrinkled. I've been around Marines my whole life and none of these infractions would fly.

As has been mentioned before, this show seems like a JAG reboot. Which is ok, since that show went away many years ago. Story was good, acting is ok. My big problem was uniform mistakes. In the 3rd scene where "Abe" request to prosecute the case. He is wearing the MC dress blue uniform, or more commonly known as "blues". One of the junior officers in the room asks him " What's with the clothes?!" No Marine would EVER say that. The Marine Corps dress blue uniform is a cornerstone of who the Marine Corps is. She would have said "Why are you in your blues?!" The other big mistake was the Base Surgeon's uniform. The Navy's officer blue uniform is adorned with gold bands around the lower portion of the sleeve. They kept addressing the accused as "Commander", O-4 grade, which is equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel in all the other US branches of service. However he was wearing 2 gold bands which is equivalent to O-2 grade, Lieutenant (Navy)/Captain (all others). An actual Commander would have 3 gold bands not 2. Hopefully they'll improve the show by hiring a military technical advisor, to fix these problems.
