I think it depends on how your own Joe-verse is structured.
Honestly I do not know where to place them in mine. My Joe team is more SAS/Delta like and doesn't use tanks, artillery and jets.
According to Fast Draw's filecard he was a clerk typist (a Support Branch) then Ordnance (which I take to mean an 89B Ammunition Specialist, also part of the Support Branch). He is not really on the front lines. Does he handle the Joes ammunition (which means he sits back at base a lot) or (if the Joes are like the SAS/Delta) go through the "Joe Operator Course" and is now a Trooper/Operator who engages in direct action raids and such? If so he probably would not be packing anti-tank weapons and would instead be using an M4 or a HK416.
Backblast is another tough one. I put him as a former 14S Air and Missile Defense Crewmember. From what I have gathered online they employ the Avenger Air Defense System and typically don't run around with a Stinger missile launcher in their hands. So again does he go through the "Joe Operator Course" and become a Trooper/Operator? Or if your Joe-verse is more like the comics and such (artillery, tanks and jets) then maybe manning one of the Joe anti-aircraft vehicles?
