Speaking to SG-5 after basketball with Daniel
Summary
Cameron Mitchell is laid-back by nature—a characteristic he sometimes exaggerates to throw potential adversaries off (9.03 "Origin", 9.08 "Babylon", 9.11 "The Fourth Horseman Part 2"). Sometimes for effect, and sometimes during times of stress, his Southern accent becomes more pronounced. He tends to give the alien technology they come across and that which they develop informal names.
His pilot call sign is "Shaft", as in the cam-shaft of a vehicle (9.06 "Beachhead").
His upbringing was in a religious household, and he is able to quote scripture easily (9.03 "Origin"). Cameron is also an aficionado of popular culture, especially movies.

- Ghost: When Mitchell and Carter accidentally moved into another dimension with no way to communicate with anyone in the SGC, Mitchell compared himself to Patrick Swayze in Ghost.
