Yeah, how I see it, there might not have had an opening for an 180A, and he saw an opening at Flight Warrant Officer School, opted for that and then side stepped back over to Green Berets once their was an opening again. I always likened Flint to be the anti-Rambo, because he learned his way rather than fought his way to the top (Maybe Im combining Rambo and Rocky but I havent been impressed to watch his movies yet).
I disliked the voice actor choices for Spytroops and Valor vs. Venom that made "Flint" sound like Rambo).
So yeah, I got a mental picture during "Green Zone". Flint leading Airtight, Flash, Tripwire, TunnelRat, Lightfoot, Clean Sweep and Ozone, a bunch of EOD and NBC guys searching for Cobra's WMD's.
So here's an update on a possible timetable for mid-80's Flint timeline I'm still trying to piece together (not Modern Era Joes).
-Airborne 82nd or 101st (Pri-Cpl)
-Then I would think Flint went to Ranger School (not 75th Ranger Reg.)
-Green Berets as a 18C (Sgt-SSg)
-Helicopter Pilot (WO1-CW2)
-Side-stepped back to Green Berets as 180A (CW2-CW3) For drafted and led half dozen rescue missions
-Then Joe Team. 84
