aura218.livejournal.comA question for the group: Do we know when Erin's birthday is? Any speculation would be appreciated. I'm guessing summer of 1950.
Peg was "8 months pregnant" in the May before BJ was drafted -- he says this in the ep about their anniversary.
If you divide the series into quarters, and the war into corresponding quarters (remember algebra?), then Trapper was there for June 1950 to early 51. Going by the weather in "Welcome to Korea," no earlier than March 51. BJ arrived for 51, 52, and 53. (Assuming the show starts at the begginning of the war, or nearly so.) The war ended in July of 53.
So Peg was pregnant from 49-50, when BJ was drafted, then he did six months of training, and that puts him in Korea in the beginning of 51. (So BJ was in training for like, 2/3 of the time Trapper was at the 4077th. That's a little funny to think about, like BJ was waiting in the wings for all of S2.)
Did we ever hear BJ give a more specific day or month than what I'm proposing here?
Obv, I need this for a fic.
Thanks, Group.
