So here's my take on Flash. I came up with it, prior to the discussion between Loose and Tank about him being a 94E, so even as I'm posting this, I think I might revisit his bio anyway.
Flash was the kid who never fit in, even as his High School's track star (where he got the name 'Flash') and as a standout running back and later quarterback, he always felt more at home with his friends in the Math and Science Club than he did with his team mates.
Strongly scouted his senior year, all hopes of a full-ride scholarship vanished after a knee injury. Enlisted in the Army after school, and reported to the Ordnance, Munitions & Electronics Maintenance School (OMEMS) in Redstone, AL.
Assigned as a 91G Fire Control Repairer with the 82nd Support BN, 3rd BCT (ABN), he was cross-trained as a 91F Small Arms Artillery Repairer & 91K Armament Repairer in an innovative program designed to create cross-functional logisticians.
Completed several Troop school courses (courses available at his duty station) including Unit Armorer Course, Unit Level Logistics System Course, and the CBRN Defense Course at Ft. Bragg to earn promotion points and stave off boredom. Also completed the Radiological Safety Course aka RADSAFE at Ft Leonard Wood, MO and served as his unit's Radiation Safety NCO. (Nod to his CBR quals)
Finished his service with the 25th Support BN, 4th BCT (ABN) with the 25th Infantry Division in Alaska.Turned down a sizeable re-enlistment bonus to attend college and return to the warmth of California. Completed a semester in BSc in Electrical / Electronic Engineering at California State University at Chico, before winning a fellowship at MIT where he completed a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Electrical & Electronics Engineering / Computer Science.
Worked in the private sector with LE Systems as a design engineer (LE created the Laser Dazzler) until a chance encounter with a few Green Berets sold him on the Warrior-Scholar ethos of the US Special Forces.
Re-enlisted the next day under the 18X program and was assigned to the 1st SFGA as a junior Communications Sgt (Language proficiency in Japanese and Korean with some proficiency in Mandarin) where he served with distinction.
Was on temporary assignment to the USSOCOM Program Executive Office (PEO) - SOF Warrior Systems (Munitions, Visual Augmentation, Lasers & Weapons) Handheld Laser Acquisition Marker / DEW Concentration when both Delta's Combat Development Directorate and the Joes came calling.
Flagg himself wanted to take a look at the Whiz kid sniper qualified Communicator who could MacGuyver anything electronic in the field. (a nod to Joe Declassified)
Chose the upstart Joes over Delta after the Joes first recruitment briefing where he met Grand Slam, Breaker and Short Fuze; Commando geniuses like himself and for the first time in his life - he fit right in.
