Trivia
FLETC (pronounced "fletsi") is often referred to in regard to trainees. Formed on July 1, 1970, the word is an acronym for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. NCIS, along with 104 other federal agencies, train recruits at FLETC-Glynco, just north of downtown Brunswick, Georgia right by the airport. The FBI and DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) have their own Training Academy and is co-located at the Quantico Marine Corp Base. The FBI started their Academy on July 29, 1935, and DEA shared facilities with the FBI when it was formed in 1973. The DEA formed a training center of their own on April 28, 1999 where their agents receive all their training, prior to that prospective DEA agents did initial training at FLETC and upon graduation became probationary agents who then received additional training at the Academy to become special agents. Though as of 2024 prospective FBI agents still go through initial FLETC training to be probationary agents, then receive more advanced training at the Academy in Quantico to become special agents.

Amazing episode!

Like many , i watched the first to see if I'd stay with it. Wasn't sure after first , tried a second. It started getting to me. Blue Bayou episodes later , I'm totally hooked. For a mostly non action episode, this was unbelievable. While mostly missing Mike Franks(mostly) , Lala , Caleb , Woodrow Vera , and Vera , an unbelievable performance by London Garcia made it great . I was astounded by it. She , alongside s fine but short performance by Kyle Schmid , made this my favorite episode so far. Great insight into the Gibbs we came to know and love. ( at least i did) i will never hear Blue Bayou again without thinking of this episode. A personal highlight of the episode , the voice over of Mark Harmon " paper or plastic?" . Great episode. Loved it .
