Not impossible. But it's one of those things where it's hit-and-miss, and they'll probably whiff more often than get a homerun with their personnel selections. The screening process, as I would imagine it, would consist of the following (with wash-out possible at all levels of training), and would result in a very low selection and retention rate:
- Application: open to volunteers only (E-4 and above, with at least a 4 year service commitment), no actual "recruits" (i.e., no applicants taken in through commander recommendations, or applicants recruited off of their home unit without their first expressing an interest in serving with the unit). Priority given to applicants with experience serving directly or in a support capacity in a DoD designated special operations-capable unit.
- Screening and Qualification: would include task-appropriate testing against physical conditioning, psychological stability, technical proficiency, and intelligence benchmarks.
- Professional Development Training: potential team members undergo GI Joe-specific technical training and equipment/protocol familiarization. At the end of the training, potential team members must pass informal certification/qualification in their given tasks/fields.
- Unit Integration Training: Potential full-time members are given probationary member status, whereupon they have to undergo an 8 month cycle of simulated and actual special missions. After the 8 month cycle, members are given full status as GI Joe members.
- Biannual requalification: full-time members undergo abbreviated refresher training.
