Yeah these leadership characters always bothered me as enlisted, particularly with all the authority they seem to have. I have promoted and demoted them in my Joeverse over the years. I think their place would make more sense if there was an actual executive officer under Hawk.
I won't deny that there are Senior NCOs in every Ops room or command center, whose opinions may mean even more than the commanding officer's. Both Flint and Scarlett were Lieutenants in Renegades. I think Scarlett was a Lieutenant in the IDW alternative universe. Duke became a Colonel. Hawk just handed him some wings and said its your team now. I use to have Duke as a Colonel at one point. I just pretended Hawk did all his officer candidate paperwork and didn't tell him until later. Lady Jaye with all her education could just as easily be an officer as well, but I prefer Scarlett to outrank her. The highest Lady Jaye makes it on the Filecards is E-7. Scarlett makes E-6, but I assume she is at least a Master Sergeant.
In the end for me I kept Duke as a Sgt Major. Flint as a Chief Warrant Officer four. Every Special Forces team has Warrant Officers as their Deputy commanders. Although a CW4 would most likely be part of the ODB or ODC team doing planning or operations. CW-05 would make Flint a little too old.
I made Scarlett a Captain, although that would end the relationship between Snake-Eyes, so it might make more sense for Lady Jaye to be an officer. I don't consider them in a relationship in my verse.
Airborne could have been an officer for sure, but as a lawyer he would have no place on the team.
There is no way Flagg III is the son of the former Flagg. They don't even have the same names. One is Lawrence and the other is James. I pretend they are brothers. James being the younger who got the fathers name. When Lawrence was killed James did everything in his power to make it to the Joes. He is about 5 years younger than his older brother Lawrence.
The other one that really bothered me over the years was Skydive. Why was he the commander outranked by Altitude who was Sgt Major of the Army. I toyed with him being a Captain, but for now have settled on the two switching ranks. Sgt Major of course not Sgt Major of the army.
Barrel-Roll is another who is E-4 but was a Lieutenant in the comics. Lieutenant for me. Part of Sky Patrol.
And please feel free to jump in the conversation any time. We love rehashing old topics and getting new perspectives on characters we all love.
