Relationships[]
Lt. LaMaise[]
He had a rival named Luke LaMaise, who is Cornchip Girl's father. LaMaise and Griswold both went to the same military high school and competed against each other in everything. When Griswold attended the Army Academy and LaMaise attended the Naval Academy, they had to play football and war games against each other. They even argued over invasion plans during Operation Steely Resolve. It is unknown if they become friends after the episode "The Army-Navy Game".
Gus Griswold[]
Lt. Griswold treats Gus as if he were one of his military subordinates, encouraging strict adherence to family protocol and packing field rations in his lunch box. Despite this, he clearly loves his son and puts his best interests first. Lt. Griswold typically calls Gus "Private," while Gus calls him "sir."
Goofs[]
- Continuity error: In his first appearance, Griswold introduced himself as a Marine officer. In later episodes, he was changed to being in the Army without explanation.
