2) Depth Charge is listed as a Sgt. Last time I checked there are none of those in the Navy. Highest filecard rank is E5 which is a Sgt in the Army and Marine Corps. Does any of the other branches have an underwater demolitions MOS?
3) Not related to this picture, but rank related- Torpedo has some figures named Chief Torpedo and some Lt. Torpedo although his highest filecard rank is WO5. What rank do you guys use?
I use Barrel Roll as an army trained sniper who is MFF-qualifed. I completely disregard his pilot background. Maybe during HALO drops he likes to attempt to do a maneuver similar to a barrel roll just to show off, hence his code name? I typically make my enlisted Joes between an E-5 to an E-9 so for him probably about an E-6.
I just make Depth Charge a Navy SEAL. Someone noted many pages back that UDT's became today's SEAL's so it make sense for him to be one.
In regards to Torpedo it depends on how I structure my Joes. If I put him in charge of a Troop he will be an O-3. Otherwise if he is part of a troop I would make him an E-7. I think I read somewhere else that in order to be a WO-4 in Navy would take many years (I believe they said roughly 22-25 years). While I think the Joes should be older (33-42) the wear and tear of being a SEAL, I believe, might be too much for someone who has been in the service for more than 20 years. If you make him a warrant officer a WO-2 might be more realistic.
EDIT: Just noticed blackrazor1's post about UDT's and that he already covered it.
