I thought Lorne was a Marine rather than Air Force—have I had that wrong all this time?

Yep. Remember Sunday? He wore Air Force Class A's there, that makes it canon ;)


Speaking of "all this time," Lorne is pretty darned dense, I guess.

Why yes, it's part of his charme ;)

(okay, actually, I think he's a pretty perceptive guy and probably knows more about what's going on in the Atlantis military contingent than Sheppard... but every guy's perceptiveness has its limits somewhere ;))
