I envision him as a gifted student who excels in school and athletics. After his post graduate studies at Oxford he decides to enlist rather than get a commission for reasons similar to Duke's and volunteers for Special Forces and later Ranger School. After serving his time with SF and earning the rank of E-6, he feels unchallenged, even bored, and volunteers for Warrant Officer School. He excells in flight school, flies Blackhawks with a conventional helicopter unit for a bit and then volunteers for the 160th SOAR. Shortly after, Delta gets word of his credentials, combat experience and exceptional education and recruits him for their personal aviation unit, but after a brief period with Delta Flint gets tired of being an "air-taxi driver" and wants to kick down doors so he volunteers for the Joes' infantry WO program. His PMS reverts back to infantry and he serves as a technical expert on a special hostage-rescue, counter-terrorism, CQB unit with the Joes!
Duke of course is envious, gets in a "whose is longer" contest, and a bitter rivalry ensues...
The "Joes' Infantry Warrant Officer Program"?
That's interesting. It's kind of neat; the USMC has Infantry Warrant Officers, but the Army does not.
I guess it all boils down to each fan's Joeverse, and how they interpret the file card info, and what options each fan envisions the Joe's offering. I've always seen Flint as a Commando/SF Operator who could fly a helicopter when he needed to.
