Still I think it would make sense in the beginning to pull guys from Delta to maybe stand up the Joes. Sort of the opposite of what happened when they stood up Delta, where Special Forces 5th Group set up BLue Light to fill the gap but none of them went to Delta. Coincidently Falcon was part of Blue Light, although they probably disbanded before he Joined the military, but that is either here nor there.
I like to pretend that Hawk started the Joes with with a few members of Delta. Hawk also being Delta. The others, Rapid-Fire, Mercer V2, Spirit, and Lowlight.
That is the only way I see guys going from Delta to Joes. Most guys would have to retire, and then go off to SAD or become Contractors. It's harder to spend more than 20 years in the Military unless you make Colonel, or Sgt Major, or CW-5. That puts most enlisted guys at 38-40 years old. Still plenty of life left.
Excellent point about having some people from Delta helping to start the Joe team.
I had thought of making the majority of the Original 13 as Special Forces soldiers helping to build the Joe team. I would have:
Hawk: SF Officer
Stalker: SF Intelligence and Assistant Operations Sergeant
Breaker: SF Communications Sergeant
Zap: SF Engineer
Snake-Eyes: SF Engineer
Short Fuze: SF Weapons
Flash: SF Communications?
Maybe all had been serving on the same ODA team (except for Hawk, who is a Lt. Colonel in my Joe-verse. Maybe he was in charge of the ODC team?)
Then some soldiers from the 75th Rangers:
Clutch
Grand Slam (as a Fire Support Specialist)
Rock'n'Roll
That would leave Grunt (coming from an Infantry Regiment), Steeler (coming over from an Armor Regiment), and Scarlett (coming over from Intelligence). Trying to figure out how to incorporate them. Obviously the very first members would not need to go through a qualification course (otherwise who would be the ones to administer the course?). Maybe the seven Green Berets are the ones administering the course and the other six were the first to pass selection?
