That's how I always saw it, also I assumed that a new member might be sort of specialized in his primary and secondary MOSs, but after being on the Joe team for a while, would accumulate a standard set of skills that every Joe ends up having... For instance lets take Footloose, likely JUST infantry in 1985 when he was first selected. But over the years he would end up going on water, airborne, mountain, arctic, toxo and several other missions. Each time the Joe who specializes in that type of mission ( a LOT of Joe file cards mention they were instructors btw) would teach Footloose those skills. Torpedo might teach him prior to a scuba mission, Snowjob might teach him prior to his first arctic mission. And on and on until you end up with these operators that can do whatever Is needed, and explains how as a character becomes more classic, they are portrayed ( when I play with toys, and I notice this in the comics as well) more badass and ultra capable. This model also serves to familiarize each Joe with the rest of the team ( after Footloose goes on mountain missions he and alpine might be closer and form a bond)
