Blue shirts can go to Viper Training, which I guess would make them more like say the Rangers of Cobra. Cobra Blue Shirt sailors can go to Eel Training, which I think may be a step below navy Seals. I think if they then do Snow Serpent or Para-Viper then we get into a more SEAL equivalent.
Back to Blue Shirts who have become Vipers , then can then move on to more advance training. SAWs, HEAT, FRAG, FLAK those guys are just more specialized, but not say better trained than the average Viper. They had to Start out as Vipers and became specialized for whatever reason. Monetary incentives would be my guess. Some Vipers want an even bigger challenge and try out for Alley-Vipers or the Range-Vipers, or the Jungle Vipers.
Jungle Vipers are either the Force Recon or Marine Sniper Equiv.
Range-Vipers are the Green Berets or MARSOC in my book. They get sent to wilderness and have to win over the locals.
I use to equate the Alley Vipers as the SAS equivalents for Cobra. Seems sort of an Oxy-Moron, but I think they are equally adept at Urban Combat.
Now you add the Shock-Troopers which I like to equate as the Blue Shirt Version of the Alley Viper. Like Air Force 24th STS. Close but and just as tough. I would say Pit-Vipers as infiltrator would probably be more elite unit as well, like Army's ISA would probably be more their role.
I like to use the Elite-Vipers as the cream of the Crop. Cobra's Delta Force.
Crimson Guards being a whole 'nother beast. They are like the SAD guys.
I use a very similar setup, Loose.
