I wonder if BSG's military technical advisors were ex-CF or ex-US military? Someone pointed out the use of old CF equipment at the beginning of the 2nd half of the 3rd season, which began last January (2007). ???
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the greenish work uniforms of some of the enlisted servicemen/"NCMs"/noncoms on the ship similar to the old No.4 Base or Garrison Dress used by the Canadian Army that were phased out before CADPATs were introduced?
Well many of the terms they use such as "CAG" (Commander, Air Group) and "Gunny" are obviously taken from US military usage.
Then, in the episode where Starbuck "dies" in the gas planet's atmosphere, Admiral Adama said "stop the UNREP" when they told the Tylium refuelling ship to cut its link to Galactica; I suppose that's a reference to the "Refuel At Sea" both Marcom and the USN use.
Maybe they borrowed some of the advisors from the "Stargate SG-1" series set? Hehehe...after all, aren't both filmed in Vancouver?
Oh well...why am I even exploring these details? Never mind... the geek goes back in his lane...
