NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Semper Fortis (2014)
The Bad and the Good of this episode
I am disappointed every time that I watch this episode. You will NOT be arrested in Virginia for rending aid to accident victims; you are protected by the Good Samaritan Law. The law has been in effect since the 1970's, at least (unlike the other reviewer who said differently). I took an EMT class in Virginia, and knew people with EMS and the fire department, and at that time they all were protected by the Good Samaritan Law. The good part of this episode is informing the viewing public that Navy medics are not equal to medics in the Army and Air Force, in that they are not licensed. Please do not hesitate to stop and assist an injured person when you can. Your assistance will be much appreciated.

A Clueless McGee
McGee tries to talk the Admiral into paying the hackers to get the key to unlock the ransomware. He should not be encouraging it. Everyone knows you don't pay the ransom. Every business I know does not pay the ransom. If they get ransomware, they simply destroy the computer it's on. The Admiral should know enough to keep his antivirus software up-to-date, not be clueless about this kind of thing. And, he should know to back up his files. And, of course, he should know better than to click on any links. The way the Admiral is portrayed, he is totally computer illiterate, and should not be using one.

A Major Glitch
As usual, this episode of NCIS is fantastic. The writers have a way of keeping the audience waiting for the next scene. But, I found one major problem with this episode. Abby tells Bishop that an ID card was used in a base commissary. McGee and Torres go to a cafeteria to look for the imposter. A military commissary is a grocery store, not a cafeteria. Anyone familiar with the military knows this, but apparently the writers didn't ask. It would be nice if the writers and directors actually knew what's what when it comes to the military. I used to shop in a commissary. And, for a couple years I worked in one. I may have to show my ID card to cash out in the commissary, but I have never scanned it, nor have I seen anyone scanning their ID card.

Ham Radio Not at all Believable
Knowing a little bit about ham radio, I found the credibility of this episode a bit lacking. First, all ham radio licenses have only 1 (one) number. The number represents the area of the country where the license was issued. When talking on the ham radio, one is required to identify themself with their call sign (aka license), not with a handle! As a matter of fact, people on ham radio do not ever use a handle, only their call sign, possibly followed by their first name. Handles are used on CBs. It appears the writers got ham radio mixed up with CBs. I was really disappointed that the writers screwed up so badly with this episode.
