This is the 1st appearance of the trademark Saunders' camouflage helmet, but it is used only in the teaser (filmed several weeks after the main Ep).
Opening narration by Saunders. The only other Ep with a narrator is "The Celebrity."
This is one of only two episodes in which Sgt. Saunders' first name, "Chip," is revealed (on the record he received from his mother and sister). No one in the squad ever called him this, instead almost always referring to him only as "Sarge," "Sergeant," his last name only, or some combination of them.
Caje, Doc and Littlejohn make a brief appearance at the end of the show. Other than those three, Saunders is the only regular member of the squad to appear.
Saunders' voiceover at the end as he writes to his mother and sister reveals that his sister's name is Louise.
