*** Gary Burghoff ... Corporal Walter Eugene O'Reilly (169 episodes, 1972-1979) aka Radar
The novel establishes that Radar was from Ottumwa, Iowa and literally dreamed of joining the Army right after high school. (A first season TV episode (1/18), however, shows him receiving a high school diploma through a correspondence course.) He seemed to have extra-sensory perception, appearing at his commander's side before being called and finishing his sentences. He also had exceptionally good hearing, able to hear incoming helicopters before anyone else. It was these abilities that earned him the nickname "Radar."
His father, who was 63 when Radar was born, was deceased. Radar's mother, Edna, lived on the family farm, and his uncle Ed helped out on the farm and served as his father figure. He also had a younger brother who died when he was young. His other relatives include Aunt Emily, Aunt Jean, Uncle Charles, Uncle David, Uncle Bill, Uncle Ernest (who knew he was going to die a week before it happened), Uncle Ernie, Uncle Howard, Cousin Millie, Cousin Jimmy, his beloved nephews, and his dog, Ranger.
According to the beginning of the novel, Radar joined the Army in hopes of succeeding in the Signal Corps but was assigned to be an orderly at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (M*A*S*H) in Korea instead. Before shipping out, he was assigned to a cleanup detail at Mount Rushmore.
