.(Friend of George Hammond that was in the episode where George was being blackmailed into retiring, don't remember what episode that was.

SG1: Hammond was a lieutenant in 1969, which probably puts him about 20-25 years old at that time, making his birthyear possibly between 1942-1949. There isn't much background information on Landry, though. I'm not sure which friend you're talking about, but the episode was Chain Reaction. (sources: http://www.stargatehandbook.org and http://gateworld.net) I couldn't really tell you about LNC, except I'm guessing Trask was young in 1966. Relative ages of the actors can be a good place to start: Don S. Davis (Hammond): 1942 Beau Bridges (Landry): 1941 George Murdock (Newcomb): 1930 Terence Knox (Trask): 1946 Joseph Campanella (Thompson): 1927 Jack Nicholson (Jessup): 1937

You'll probably find all you need to know on SG1 research at Gateworld , James. I haven't been there in a while, but last time I was they had detailed character bios. The episode you're looking for is Chain Reaction from S4. I don't know which friend of Hammond you mean - he was replaced at the SGC by Major General Bauer, but I don't recall them being friends. But it's been a time since I watched that one, so I could easily have missed a reference. The other major players in the episode are Harry Maybourne and Senator Kinsey - wouldn't call either of them friends of Hammond either.  According to Gateworld's review of CR, Hammond was a two-star general at the time of that episode. LabRat

Thank you all for your help. I may have a different episode in mind, but I remember George meeting with someone that was of a similar age in a park of some kind. Thought that was Chain Reaction...  Also, my post needed to be edited, and I swear I did edit it...must have been a really vivid dream! Anyway, I was looking at 1976 for the time frame. SG1 characters wouldn't be affected and neither would AFGM, but LnC characters would be time shifted forward 10 years. What I am looking for is if it was plausible that George or Landry would be a over Trask and Newcomb could be a good guy contact for George or Landry. Jessup would be in the boss over George or Landry. Does that make sense without giving too much away? James

It makes sense. It looks like Hammond was a 1st LT in 1969. With time in service plus the Vietnam war, he would most likely be a captain or major by '76. Same would probably go for Landry. By taking Terence Knox's age +10, if he were a commissioned officer, he'd only be a butter bar (LT) or a 1st LT. Of course, he could have been enlisted, which would still only put him somewhere between private and corporal. So yeah, it's conceivable.
With the age progression, the other characters would be about the same age as Hammond and Landry, maybe a few years older. So at most they'd have a rank above.

Hey - as a non-Stargate viewer, I hope that when you do your crossover, that you make things clear for the non-viewer too. Just my $0.02.
Thanks.
