For instance, every now and then I'd come across some tidbit about SF guys working in conventional, non-SF units, which I thought odd because SF guys were trained specifically for unconventional, guerrilla warfare. However, it turns out that this was true: SF men sometimes left their SF unit or were even "fired" and reassigned to another unit. Alan Cornett was initially a SF medic that got reassigned to 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne to gain more experience before returning to the 5th SF Group. During several months with the 1st Brigade, he served as a LRRP.
So it's certainly feasible that Stalker attended SF training after AIT and before going to Vietnam and then served with a LRRP unit while he was there. Perhaps this is what the artist/illustrator who designed Stalker was thinking or perhaps Hama omitted his SF training because he wanted to emphasize his status as a Ranger/LRRP and thought it more important or maybe he's just a Ranger/LRRP and nothing more, but for the sake of my Vietnam story and to explain Stalker's green beret, medical training and some of his language skills, I'm going to make him SF.
I hear what you're saying, Tanksmasher.
Is it possible that Stalker's a Green Beret? Yes.
Do I want him to be Special Forces? You bet; he's on my custom ODA Team.
Is there any hard evidence in the continuity? No.
Is there any secondary, or circumstantial evidence like Roadblock? No.
Is there any evidence based on missions performed like Recondo? No. Stalker has always done missions that are consistent with a LRRP Ranger.
I wish that Hasbro or the Collector's Club would list him as an 18 series or something like they did with Beach-Head. I wish the Comic would make mention of it. ANYTHING, but there isn't anything.
