As for the show, I like it so far with one exception. IT SHOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE D.C. AREA!!!
Why? He was stationed in Pendleton. His wife and kid were killed in Pendleton.
And they have that little hidden arc that he doesn't know about, where one of his coworkers was supposed to be the guard, but he begged out because his kid was sick, so another guy took over and the other guy got killed. That wouldn't work if he was in DC.

These are both based on a television show.
Question number one. Vietnam. 1969. Widowed mother, one child. The sole support of his widowed mother. Would that prevent him from being drafted? Would that keep him out?
Question number two. Cowboy boots. You have the foot, and you have the shaft. If you were to put the boot on one day and the heel tore loose from the shaft - the foot is in fine shape, it just came loose from the shaft. Couldn't you sew it back on?
Assuming that the thread tore through the leather, either on the shaft or on the heel or both. Could you take the shaft and trim the bottom of it, or shave down the top of the heel, to get rid of all the thread holes, then sew it together like you were making a new pair of boots? Then your left boot would be 1/8 of an inch shorter than your right boot, but you pull your pants legs down over the shaft so no one would ever know.

In one of the early stories he mentions having written a monograph on how to tell the difference between cigarette ashes.

I s'pose we weren't meant to notice how a "full" keg floated so easily on top of the creek neither 😉
While beer is slightly heavier than water, it was all the carbonation in the keg that was making it float.

You said, after a 50 round range session the screw was a little loose.
Simple solution is every time you reload it just reach up and grab that screw tighten it a little.
I have a similar problem with the screw on top of my third model Russian.
And that's my solution. Shoot a cylinder or two, then snug the screw back down.

Excuse me (as in after getting bumped into)
I was in Sam's a few months ago and there was a man there with what I assume where his two sons. The bigger one looked to be about 13. And he was not looking where he was going and he bumped into me pretty hard.
And then he shocked me absolutely and completely.
He said, "Excuse me, sir".

If they had one of those they wouldn't need the cannon.
That's exactly what I started to say. But then I rewatched the cartoon. It appeared that Marvin was using that as the igniter for whatever huge gun the planet buster was. And Bugs stole it so Marvin could not fire his cannon.

Back in the long ago times, when I still smoked, I found a store that was selling Players. That's a British cigarette. And I bought a pack.
When I was over at this girl's house, she saw the box and was all - "Players!!??"
Yeah. Would you like one?
And it was like she was drinking Dom Perignon or cognac, or 20 year old single malt. She was so enjoying the taste of that British cigarette. When she got to the end she says, "One last luxurious puff", and took that last drag.
I didn't get it. Tasted like the Benson and Hedges that I was used to smoking. Damn sure wasn't worth 50 cents more a pack. When I'm paying a dollar a pack for B&H, another 50 cents for British smokes? This one time just to see what it was like but certainly not as a regular thing.
In high school I smoked these things called Winchester. They claimed it was a little cigar. It was brown instead of white, but it had a filter tip and it came 20 to a pack, so I figured they were cigarettes. And they were a quarter where Marlboros were 48 cents.
They were a little rough, and one day I ate a Reese's cup and washed it down with a root beer and then lit up a Winchester. And the flavor in my mouth was so nasty I threw the pack away and quit smoking for 2 years. That was the longest I had ever quit, until this last time which is rolling up on 40.

I hear about people making strange requirements in their wills. And I read about this one one time.
Rich guy Frank left umpteen million dollars to his nephew Tom, providing Tom gets married by the time he's 25 and he never gets divorced.
So at the age of 24 Tom marries Sally. Now he inherits umpteen million dollars.
20 years later Tom can no longer put up with Sally. And he divorces her.
What happens to his money?
By divorcing Sally he has broken the terms of the will. Does the money all get taken away and given to the next person on the list? "I leave it to Tom if he does this, but if he doesn't then I wanted to be used to establish a shelter for homeless cats." So they take all Tom's money and start building the shelter?

Ducky rented the house and brought his mother over. She didn't like it. They found another place to live. Gibbs bought the house. Married Shannon, had Kelly, got transferred to Pendleton. That's what pissed his mother-in-law off - "you took our girls to California!" Remember the mother-in-law episode, where she killed her fiancé the Navy captain because he had been involved with the cartel that Pedro was a member of, so he was just as guilty as Pedro.
They had an episode with this DEA agent. He was the son of the NIS agent that had been the guard for Shannon and Kelly. At the end of that episode Gibbs went to California and he and the DEA guy poured the dead agent/father's ashes in the Pacific. While he was there he went by this house. He and Shannon and Kelly had lived there. There's a bird bath in the front yard that he had built. In the concrete in the bottom of the bowl all three of them had put their hand print and signed them - Mom, Dad, Kelly.
In the last episode - before the Christmas break - he couldn't stand to live in the house because Shannon and Kelly were dead. This was before he was NIS, before he went South and killed Pedro. While he was still stove up from being blowed up in Kuwait. So he rented an apartment. And he took his rules outside and threw them in the garbage can, and his father took them out of the garbage and took them back to Pennsylvania with him.
