Factual errors:
Sean's father is credited as being "Major Boswell". In a scene where he is in Naval uniform, his shoulder board clearly displays the two full stripes of a full Lieutenant and the collar insignia, while improperly gold, also is the two bars of a Lieutenant. The rank of full Lieutenant in the Navy is O-3. Major is not a Naval rank but used in the Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force and is O-4 and equivalent to that of a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. Major is denoted by a gold oak leaf cluster instead of twin silver bars. A Lieutenant Commander in the Navy also carries the gold oak leaf cluster on his collar and the shoulder board carries two full strips and one half strip between.
