Okay, on a side note, I just picked up volume 4 of the Classic GI Joe TPB and was reading issue 33 (Mar 1985) when I noticed that 8 of the original Joes--Zap, Grunt, Short-Fuze, Stalker, Rock N Roll, Flash, Breaker and Scarlett--got promoted by Austin, and Hawk is given full command of the Pit and GI Joe, which I think implies his promotion to Brigadier General. Steeler, Clutch, Grand Slam and Snakes Eyes were excluded.
That means the following upgrades as of March 1985:
Hawk O6 - O7
Stalker E5 - E6
Scarlett E5 - E6
Rock N Roll E5 - E6
Grunt E4 - E5
Short-Fuze E4 - E5
Breaker E4 -E5
Flash E4 - E5
Zap E4 - E5
Assumed upgrades:
Since Steeler was an O1 in June 1982 when he was first introduced, he would have upgraded automatically to an O2 (after 18 months) by or before Dec 1983. And he would be on track to make Captain by or before June 1986 (after 4 years in service).
I wonder why Steeler, Clutch, Grand Slam and Snakes Eyes were excluded?
As far as file cards go this is the highest we ever got for the 13
SE=E-8
Clutch=E-4
Steeler=0-1
Grand Slam=E-5
Hawk=0-8 (Although his last pre 25th figure has 3 stars on his lid)
Scarlett=E-6 (W-3 to me now Zulu)
Stalker=E-8
Rock'n'Roll=E-9
Zap=E-7
Short-Fuze=E-5
Breaker=E-5
Grunt=E-6
Flash E-5 (on ROC finally)
