Where You Should Never Go Part 1 (Washington D.C. Area)

This will be a recurring theme simply because there are bunches of places you should never, ever go.

In this episode, we will address being in the United States Navy or Marines and NCIS.

On the left is a picture of the cast with Kate, the former Secret Service member who is later killed by Ziva's half-brother, Ari, who she later kills to save Gibbs. From left to right, we have Tony, Dr. "Duckie" Mallard, Abby, Gibbs, McGee and Kate.

The next picture is of the cast with the addition of Ziva David,the Israeli liaison, is the woman standing in the black dress.

Now that you have been introduced to the group, we can proceed on why you should never visit the Washington DC area if you are in the U.S. Navy or Marines. It is quite simple, it's not safe.

Every week, Gibbs' team is tasked with investigating the death of a sailor or marine in the Washington D. C. area. The poor sailor or marine is found in dead by some gruesome means such as being found under a frozen pond, in pieces in a 55 gallon drum. floating in a stagnant above ground swimming pool, murdered by Gibbs' former mother-in-law, by an unknown virus on a ship at sea or a bomb. Considering there are 175 episodes to date, including tonight's episode, in 8 seasons, that's a pretty high death total.

Now, I know sailors and marines expect to be under fire and possibly die for their country. However, I don't think it is in their expectations to die from being stuffed in a Civil War coffin and buried alive. It is expected to die in a war zone, not while on leave or from sabotage from one of your buddies cutting the ropes as you climb a wall in training.

Now there are rules to live by, according to Gibbs. However, it's hard to obey rules set forward by a man who bears a striking resemblance to Ted Bundy.  (The made for TV movie, Deliberate Stranger, 1986, starred Mark Harmon, also known as Leroy Jethro Gibbs.)

So, if you are now or have ever been in the navy or marines, you have been warned. Do not go any where near Washington D.C. or Los Angeles. Although NCIS: Los Angeles has only been on the air for two years, it is doing well in the ratings and can expect to rack up just as high of a body count as the original NCIS.
