Thanks. SS was one of the earliest ones I did. I've since considered making a version that looks less ninja-ey and more like somebody who could pass for an ex-military private security contractor-type... maybe have him in a white suit, that type of thing, but I don't know how well that would go over.

Yeah, it was getting a tad unwieldy for a while back there.

Yeah, one of the best changes from established canon that
GI Joe: Renegades
did was move Scarlett in rank from the enlisted population to the officer population. She's always shown as somebody who exercises a lot of authority over Joe operations anyway, so I think it was a good idea that they formalized it by giving her a "promotion."
As for the women in the unit, yeah, I've been trying to find parallels in the US military for mixed "near combat" units that have females. The US Army's BfSBs are one (mixed-gender military intelligence companies supplemented by all-male cavalry scout squadrons/infantry scout companies). The Air Force's 820th Base Defense Group's Combat Operations Squadron is another... I don't know if there actually are any female airmen in the 820th BDG, but AFAIK, there aren't any formal restrictions against them being assigned there.
In many ways, the Air Force is at the forefront of allowing women to serve in limited combat roles (as Security Forces personnel in the expeditionary force protection context)... they're the first and only branch of service to offer a "sniper-like" training school that's open to female service members (US Army and USMC MPs and CID agents, Navy Masters-at-arms, USAF Security Forces and OSI agents) via the USAF's Countersniper/Close Precision Engagement School and they've had enlisted women serving in AFSC-coded aerial gunner positions for a few years now (still, while the USAF is at the forefront in opening up career options for the female gender in the US military, on the whole, the States is still playing catch-up with many other NATO countries, like
Canada
and
Germany
, which have lifted many of the old gender-based restrictions preventing women from serving in some combat roles... the higher physical fitness, weapons and combatives proficiency, and all other requirements for entry into direct combat roles stay the same in both countries, so it's not like the infantry and other combat arms branches of those nations are being "weakened" in any objective way).
