    • Trivia
      While filming in Hawaii, the show received technical support and many extras from members of the Hawaii Army National Guard.
    • Goofs
      In the episode where the soldiers take leave in Hawaii we see them walk to their plane at the end with a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter sitting behind them. But this aircraft would not exist until the mid-1970s
    • Quotes

      Sgt. Zeke Anderson: What do you think is the difference between bravery and stupidity?

      Lt. Myron Goldman: Same thing. Just depends on the timing.

    WOW!!!!! Great Series

    WOW! I have been watching Tour of Duty for awhile. the series is awesome, realistic, and the actors are great. The soldiers in tour of duty are from all backgrounds: the rich, poor, black, white, dove, hawk, orphaned, etc. The actors (Knox, Caffrey, Becker, Franco, Nunez, Foster, Dye etc.) all did an excellent job portraying these characters. It is a shame that they never were given bigger roles.

    Great series. Hope the actors show up on more movies and shows.
