    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      After winning The Moose in a poker game, Hawkeye mutters "dear dad" ... as if he was writing a letter to his father to describe the camp's happenings. This "letter home" concept would be repeated throughout the series.
    • Goofs
      As the poker game progresses, Baker strips to his undershirt, but when Radar looks at him through the telescope he's still wearing his outer shirt.
    • Quotes
      • Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce: [reading Young Hi's letter] I ask God to bless you. I say that to please the sisters, I'm a Buddhist person.
