Talk:Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Season 2

The base

So apparently the base they guys infiltrate at the end of episode one is guarded by a Marine and an Army Ranger (judging from the Ranger patch) at the same time and receiving orders from a General who called the Marine a soldier...wow...I cannot even beginning to tell you how much of that is wrong.

Maybe it's a joint Army-Marine base? And it's not like you can tell service branch over the phone. --Mandolin (talk) 15:46, 25 October 2014 (EDT)

A joint base would explain the Army/Marine thing, and also there are USAF planes there and if you listen to the PA there are members of SEAL Team 4 there as well so it seems like all branches are represented to some degree. Curious, which guy did you think was the Ranger? If you mean the guy who is in the booth and answers the phone I do not think he is, as firstly he has an MP patch on his right shoulder which would be incorrect for a Ranger (although that wouldn't necessarily stop them using the patch), and secondly I do not think the one on his right arm is a Ranger one. I do not recognise the patch though so I am not sure (best match I can find is the 297th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade but the Wolf's head is missing, plus it is a bizarre choice being part of the Alaskan National Guard). --commando552 (talk) 21:01, 25 October 2014 (EDT)
