Last night, I was watching the last episode of Season 4, "Gomer Pyle, USMC," 
and noticed something odd.  In the scenes at the Marine base, Sgt. Carter wore 
his belt *outside* the belt loops!  Now, that seems pretty nonsensical to me.  
After all, if the belt isn't in the loops, it can't hold up the pants!  The 
only reason I could figure for wearing the belt that way was a purely aesthetic 
one -- guess he thought the loops broke up the line of the black belt against 
his khaki uniform.  However, near as I could tell, everyone else wore their 
belt in the loops.

I don't have any of the Gomer Pyle USMC season DVDs, so I don't know if Frank 
Sutton continued this practice throughout the series.  Does anybody else know?

Curious!
