SG-1 question

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Can anyone tell me if Colonel Dave Dixon ("Heroes") is Air Force or some other branch? I've looked in Solutions and glanced at the transcripts (for "Heroes"), but I can't seem to find any indication. They all wear the same uniform, so I can't tell from that, right?

(I had Major Lorne confused for the longest time. I thought he was in one branch, and it turned out to be another. Someone finally set me straight, but then I forgot that answer.)

I do mean to rewatch "Heroes," and maybe that will help. I'll drag Brilliant Husband in to see if there's anything on the uniform to distinguish the branches. (I'm not sure I'd know a clue if I saw it!)

Fortunately, Dixon's in only that two-parter, which helps.

My suggestion: Air Force. Although Dixon had no distinguishing branch emblem, "Heroes" aired in late 2004, by which point the real USMC had fully-adopted their digital camo (MARPAT) uniform. Also, his subordinate, Simon Wells, ranked "Senior Airman", which is definitely USAF.
