Not really, that one I wanted to de-generalize the SEALS. 1980's SEALS had a career behind them and they had certain jobs to do and GI JOE made them very generic SEALS. Yes, it was cool that they had SEALS but everyone had BUD/S everyone dived, everyone jumped. But who was the Breacher, Communications, Corpsman, Interrogator, Sniper, etc... And Wetsuit I believe knew Leatherneck from before in the Marines and thats why they had such an extreme friendship. Thats why I made Wetsuit a Corpsman, to be part of the Marines. We can rule out Chaplain's Assistant... Wetsuit 92 Filecard. Also that would give a chance to Wetsuit to get his mean-steak from Leatherneck.
This would give another 'Medic' to the JOES. I know Green Berets had 2 medics for 12-14 troops. The Air Force Special Tactics Teams, depended on the mission, but sometimes they are 50% of the unit. Im not sure of the percentage of Medics in Marsoc or Navy Seals.
So yeah, Special Forces everyone fires a weapon. In GI JOE, I believe they really had no Support Troops. They were from the 4 or 5 Armed Forces, they are highly trained Special Forces that acted independant of the 4 or 5 Armed Forces. So in my JOE-VERSE Im putting the JOES in their own sort of SOCOM of the 1980's. no one joined because they wanted to be in GI JOE. They are all E-5 to E-9, W-1 to W-5, and O-3 to O-5. Basically 100-400 Mission Troop Force. Less top heavy With the Pentagon Liaison of BGen Flagg.
I would have liked the specialty enviroment Joe's (Dusty, Snow Job, WetSuit, Outback, Alpine, Quick Kick, etc) filecards to have included as to what their mission slot was, like.. communications, engineer, weapons, intel, operations, medic, etc. So some of those Im just being creative. Tho with Primary or Secondary MOS: Intelligence helps out, Quick Kick, Recondo, Jinx and Lady Jaye.
