Good catch. I was making these at around 2 in the morning, so errors liek that could have easily slipped by. I'll make the correction soon as I can.

Not really. Making him Ranger-qualified while being a graduate of the Army Reconnaissance Leaders Course and Pathfinder School (as well as SERE Instructor training at the JFK SPecial Warfare Center) makes him somewhat equivalent to Special Forces in certain aspects. The thing is, my idea of the Joes is that they're under USSOCOM (Special Operations Command), although they're not specifically Special Forces. Being under USSOCOM though, the members come from all USSOCOM-affiliated units or have at least trained under USSOCOM or JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command)-"licensed" schools. That way, I can introduce some more diversity in background; i.e., not all the team members have to be MARSOC, Ranger, SEALs, USAF Special Tactics, or Army SF-qualified, since there are other "non-combatant" USSOCOM/JSOC-affiliated units like the Army PSYOP/Civil Affairs Battalion, the various Special Operations Support Battalions, etc.

Yeah, it was a bit of license on my part. I was sort of bored with the idea of making him another Combat Engineer/EOD type as per his original secondary MOS, so I just used another MOS that uses explosives. I think it sets him apart from, say, Short-Fuze or any of the other Joes who have dual backgrounds in "demolitions" and infantry. And quarrying specialists are found under Engineer branch (I forget what the alphanumeric code is for the MOS).
