It always bugged me in the cartoons that everyone could drive everything.
For me:
Helicopter pilots pilot the helicopters, with some Joes being flight-worthy (they'd never be as good as the main pilots, but in emergencies they do just fine, example is Flint).
Pilots fly the fighter jets, no non-pilot-Joes are flight-worthy, although some are qualified to be co-pilots (Wildbill would be qualified to fly fixed wing, but not the jets). Barrell Roll is the exception, as he's qualified to fly the jets as well as fixed wing.
Anybody can get behind the steering wheel of a wheeled vehicle (jeeps), but some are better then others and have had combat driver training (Clutch, Crankcase, Skidmark, etc..).
Motorcycles, the Joe had to have his/her motorcycle liscense prior to becoming a Joe and been trained on the Joe motorcycles.
Tracked vehicles, only tank drivers are fully qualified to drive all tracked vehicles. Some Joes are qualified to drive different ones (Bazooka is qualified to drive all tracked).
Most Joes pick up qualification to drive different vehicles. Some of the more complex vehicles (General, Rolling Thunder, Thunderclap, etc..) require major training and typically only the small group of guys that drive those receive cross-training in the others.
Most Joes try to get qualified to operate the basic land assault vehicles (Armadillos) and basic sea assault vehicles (Devilfish).
Jetpacks would be limited to very specific people that have received the specialized training on those (Starduster, Stalker and Duke).
I liked the idea of the filecards showing what vehicles they are qualified to operate, it makes a lot of sense. But some of the ones they are qualified for (Low-Light and the General???) didn't make much sense.
