In the context of scenario 2, the civilian attachments will probably have as much (or more) training than the operators themselves. My roster which I'm currently populating will have an absolute ton of civilian contractors, inter-agency personnel and the like.
By doing so, I can get rid or 'outsource' a ton of support positions especially in the supply, maintenance, contracting and aviation side of things.
Quick Kick was always one of my least favourite Joes, largely because he was bare foot and chested. Didn't make any sense to me. But I still think there's a role for him as a civilian brought directly into Joe - something which happened all the time in the days of the OSS, by the way. I can see him travelling the world with film crews, doing work as a stuntman which provides him cover for doing intelligence or covert work for Joe.

On top of that his second filecard states he is an Intelligence Analyst. So where does everyone else place him? I was thinking of making him an Executive Squadron Commander in one of my Sabre Squadrons (basically the second in command for that particular squadron).
As a Major I'd have him command a squadron - and given his background I'd make it a mobility squadron (Barrage could command the artillery/fire support/air defence). I see Storm as a tanker, not an artillery officer (it's possible that someone confused an M109 for a tank - it's a common mistake). Though as an aside, some tanks have the tools to fire short range indirect missions. They're limited by their low barrel elevation and the nature of their ammunition, but it can be done in a pinch. Perhaps Storm was really good at that kind of tactic.
