Did you know
- TriviaThe Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) was established on December 14, 1993, following the dissolution of its predecessor, the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), due to the fallout from the Tailhook scandal of 1991. This scandal occurred during a reunion of Naval Aviators, known as the Tailhook Symposium, held in Las Vegas, where numerous female civilians and military personnel were sexually harassed and assaulted by officers and enlisted staff.
The investigation into these incidents was mishandled, resulting in severe consequences for some Navy personnel, including ruined careers, early retirements, and letters of censure (administrative action, and the letter is placed in the official service record and is often seen as derogatory material for a promotion or assignment board to consider) that tarnished their official records and impacted future promotions. In response to the scandal, Congress enacted new legislation, leading the Department of Defense to restructure the Investigative Service into an independent organization led by a civilian Director with its ranks made up of an equal mix of civilians and US government investigators.

Featured review
Bad casting, Gibbs is a good 6 inches taller than he was in the series, Mike Franks is the short guy now, I believe that in season 7 we found out that Gibbs hadn't seen his father since living for active duty, and yet here he is in the 1st episode of origins which takes place only a short time after Gibbs joins NIS, and if you think Leroy's growth spirt was something, his father grew a good 10 to 12 inches and put on weight.
A lot of things can be over looked when creating, spinoff but the casting for this series could have been much better and retained a bit of continuity between the 2 series.
