Since I think all of us bring good ideas to the table. I have recently watched the first season and fifth season. My local broadcast of RTV (Retro Television Network) is showing the A Team season 5, and I found a states website that streams it.
Here is what Ive drafted as the preliminary roster from the episodes I have watched. And from what i wikipedia'd for Special Forces and remembered from our conversations. Trying for realistic functional active, in the action, ranks and MOS.
1971 timeframe.
-Samuel Morrison a Lt Colonel the CO of the 5th Special Forces Battalion.
-Bosco Albert Baracus, an 18C Engineering Sergeant E-5, E-6 or E-7 (depending on when the last time he struck an officer.) for an OD-A Team (He seemed to be more engineering sergeant in vietnam than in the motor pool which is what we mostly think of B.A. driving the van). Chicago, Illinois is apparently his hometown and his mother calls him Scooter his childhood nickname.
-Templeton Peck, the Logistics E-6 or a Logistics Warrant Officer for the OD-B Company HQ (He did more of the obtaining items like Logistics and supply). In 1969 part of an OD-A Team as (18E) Communications Sergeant or a Warrant Officer (180A) for OD-A Team.
-Major John Smith as Operations for the OD-C HQ Battalion. Im not sure how this works. The plan is to make him grey hair by 1983, maybe Hannibal works his way up from E-1 like how Johnny Rico did on "Starship Trooper". Dont know how to work in the disguises. Formerly of 101st Airborne, as Captain he was part of an OD-A Team as 18A in 1969.
This way all 3 members would have experience as part of an OD-A TEAM, but by 1971 only B.A is an OD-A for the mission for the bank heist during Tet new year in 1971. Morrison was struck by Baracus and wanted to frame him.
-Murdock will stay as Captain as a Rotary wing pilot and has familarization with several Turboprop and Turbofan Fixed Wing Aircraft. Dunno if the mention by Faceman that Murdock was Thunderbirds was BS or not. Murdock was not part of the OD-A Team, dont know if he was accused and sent it to prison in 1972. Or if he stayed in Vietnam until 1975 then certified himself into the VA hospital.
So what do you think? blackrazor1, oliverbox, fogger1138, loose cannon, tyroc, tanksmasher, lifeline71 and our fearless commander troynos, and YOU too, your opinion can count too.
What about Lynch?
Yeah Face as a 1st Leiutenant sort of bothered me. A Warrant Officer for say the ODB HQ section would make more sense. And as a logistics expert would make him more in on the planning of the Heist, and maybe more familiarity with the higher ups.
I haven't watched an episode in so long.
Murdock would have to be a Helicopter pilot like the vietnam War equivalent for the 160th nightstalkers.
