So I don't think the Airforce needs Snipers but does the army have Officers that are Snipers?
I think Barrel Roll is weird because there seems to be a great deal of disparity between what was portrayed in the Comic and the info in the file card. In the comic he's an officer and evidently in the Air Force. In the file card he's a corporal and a sniper. No officer would be used the way Barrel Roll is used. Officers can go to sniper school, but to be deployed alone for days at a time - that's the work of an enlisted soldier.
Black Out seems pretty clearly to be a grunt - Army or Marines. He's a sharpshooter and an Infantryman when he's introduced in the comic as a green shirt.
Bomb Strike could be either an Army Forward Observer, or an Air Force Forward Observer (like Combat Controllers). Oddly, in both cases, those are male only jobs.
I consider all the Stalls to be Army. Though I will certainly consent that the comic makes things weird in regards to Barrel Roll, and the Marine Corps would provide the same opportunities for all three members of the family. Though there is no evidence that they are Marines. I just go primarily by the file cards regarding the Stalls, and it seems to me that they would be Army.
Captain DePace, thanks for the heads up about 2002 Dusty.
I had never noticed that before.
