This is a fantastic change. He looks a good bit more "battle ready" than your last one did (which is understandable, since he was initially your S-1). I'm also happy to see you returned a young look to his face (the v.2 face looked too old).
Zap is a nice update from the last one (the side view wasn't really the best angle for this kind of project).

Fine addition.

I'll move Flint to a yet-to-be-determined position that's more in line with the general conception of the character (I'll have to look up how Special Forces B and C detachments utilize their warrant officers).
I liked where you had Flint, but I'll keep an open mind for the incoming change.

Also, I think the guys making him might have been maing a cocaine joke ("snow" storm + Cuban defector a la Tony Montana from the film Scarface) and I'd like to keep the joke going.
I was mostly indifferent to more cold weather types of characters, but adding another hispanic member is always a plus in my mind (and if you backed off the Cuban defector idea, he could always be from Miami as the son of defectors), as is the addition of more SEALs.

- With Deep-Six being moved down, I'll be "promoting" Tripwire as the head NCO of the EOD Section and have Lightfoot become an EOD NCO
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS (on both counts). More SEALs. Will you be updating your Tripwire image? He's the only one that doesn't have that zulu touch.

You could put him into Salvo's slot, and move Salvo into the Direct Action Platoon somewhere.
