Great suggestion. Just added them now.

The vehicle qualifications entry just represents what vehicles they are fully "mission-qualified" for. What that means is that they'll not only be able to drive said vehicles, but be able to do full first-echelon and some second-echelon field maintenance on them. So a guy like Stalker, for example, would be able to drive vehicles in excess of 5000 kg (the army's definition of a heavy wheeled vehicle) with a regular driver's licence (depending on the jurisdiction), but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a "mission-qualified" heavy wheeled vehicle operator (there's a key difference between being a qualified/licenced driver and a mission-qualified operator). Oh, and Lifeline's vehicle qualifications aren't low in the filecard I wrote... I wrote that he was a mission-qualified operator for heavy wheeleed vehicles (vehicles in excess of 5000 kg/11023 lbs... he'd have to be that to be a paramedic prior to enlistment.
Anyway, thanks for bringing it up, as it allows me to elaborate on something that may not be so clear to some people reading the filecards.

Glad you liked the Zartan siblings filecards. As for the 22 languages thing, I just took that from the original Zartan filecard from 1984. It does seem a bit too much (even my linguistics professor from university spoke a relatively low number of 10 languages by comparison), but hey, that's why he's a world-class assassin and impersonator.
