Fogger thanks for the info on Delta's funny platoon. Interesting reading. I found this link someone sited as a good 'cheat sheet'
Textbook Cases/US Special Operations Command even though it's meant as just some fanfic for a rpg. Cool stuff |

That's one way to keep you occupied and out of everyone's hair.

The Action Force version of Dusty (released in the late 1980s, can't remember which wave) was from Alice Springs, Australia, IIRC.

There is a Tiger Force Mutt - 2006 convention special edition figure. Also produced were Tiger Force Beachhead, Tiger Force Hard Top, and Tiger Force Zartan/Hawk.
Lady Jaye is an interesting case. She did her Masters degree at Trinity College in Ireland and she speaks with a bit of an Irish lilt... no wonder Flint fell for her right away. I suppose the birthplaces always sort of surprise me. There are a ton of Joes from Rhode Island - A TON. I know it's where Hasbro is, but there are states that have only one Joe, and it would be nice to share a little bit. I suppose I'm biased in that regard. Intersting, I think it's funny what's left out of Flint's file card. For as much is made out of his Rhodes scholarship, the Rhodes scholarship is about doing graduate work in England at Oxford University. What's not explained is where Flint earned his undergraduate degree. He obviously didn't go to West Point, or he'd be a commisioned Officer - an LT or above. Rhodes Scholarships are hard to come by, but you don't have to go to an Ivy League School. The University of Mississippi has produced 24 Rhodes Scholars, for example. The University of Tennessee has produced 6. This wouldn't be so abnormal, but they do mention where other Joes have gone to school if their educations were noteworthy: Lady jaye at Brwn Myer, Claymore at Dartmouth, etc. To make so much of Flint's schooling, and then not to mention his alma mater seems odd to me. Somehow, I've always liked to think of him as a Duke man. It's close to Special Forces HQ at Ft. Bragg, it's on par with a lot of Ivy League Schools. I'm sure some tar heels will disagree, but I've got no hatred for UNC. It just seems to fit Flint's personality and Duke does produce a fair number of Rhode Scholars and has a broad appeal nationally. man, that's gotta be pretty rare, have never seen or heard of him. huh. off to yojoe.com to check that one out, rad man. thought blizzard was the rarest tiger force member of the lot.

Blizzard probably would be since he was a foreign release. Hardtop, Mutt and Beachhead were convention figures from a Joecon.
