Gentlemen, I just heard back from Larry Hama... Here's the transcript:
I don't know the answers to most of these. I just supposed that all Joes were at least airborne qualified with very current jump status. Most Joes are Ranger qualified. Chuckles is Army CID, but has connections to CIA. Low-Light is very definitely an operator. I am pretty sure I did not write the file card on Claymore. It reads like a parody of my stuff. I would never have written a line like "his reputation as a soldier is known far and wide." It looks like somebody just paraphrased a bunch of key phrases from previous file cards. This may have been right after the first time I got "fired." They though they could save money by having the file cards written in house. If a Joe sounds too superlative or perfect, odds are good I didn't write the card.
Classifications and qualifications become rather meaningless in elite covert ops units. As does rank. It's a whole other ballgame from the rest of the services, so a lot of the seeming hard and fast rules don't apply.

You hear that boys?
If you think they should be a Ranger - They probably are.
And Low-Light? Special Forces at LEAST! YES!
