Congrats, Troynos. I really like mine. It's always cool to get a new character.

So maybe this isnt a secret that lurks in the filecards. But maybe a secret that lurks in a voice actor. Don Johnson (voice of Lt. Falcon) and Kirstie Alley both grew up and graduated from Wichita, Kansas.
The reason I brought up Kirstie Alley is that she has a civilian-military background. I bought a "McConnell Air Force Base: Images of Aviation" book by Steve A Larsen today. Found a picture and caption, That Kirstie during her teen years worked as a lifeguard at the NCO club pool on McConnell AFB. And it looks like we have The 22nd Security Forces Squadron Phoenix Raven Team here at McConnell. A few weeks ago I was watching PBS Explore and they were talking about Buffalo Soldiers, after the indian wars, becoming the first unit to patrol the National Parks until Park Rangers became into existance. I had an idea of using Wild Bill's Tiger Rat body and hat without the vest with the head of the darker skinned GI Joe Trooper with firefly Toys R Us pack. I was thinking of making him my Little Bird pilot. I really have a mixed feeling of what I call him now... "Buffalo Wing" Basically making him a modern-day Buffalo Soldier that pilots a rotary wing aircraft. Which also made me think about the Tuskegee Airmen, I had made the Movie Accellerator Ripcord head on Jungle RipCord's body without the gear into a Helo Airforce Pilot. But have to come up with a new codename for him too.

I like that Idea Takedown. I've been using Jungle Ripcord as Dillon from predator, so he's CIA 0-4 equiav.
I've been using Sigma Suit Rip as Dee-jay (I use the Rip Duke as Blocker) |

Hey Guys,
I know this is a little off topic, but did y'all read that Headman is leaving the Tank? He's been on our thread just a few times. He's also one of the funniest people on the Tank. I'm kinda bummed about it. I think the Tank will be less fun without him.

I read that - not sure if I actually believe it, though.

Do you guys have the "green shirts" in your Joe world?
Were they strictly in the cartoons? I don't remember them being in the comic book. At least the ones I've read so far. |

Unlike the cartoon, "greenshirts" didn't exist in the original Marvel comic book series. They were introduced in the DDP comics, though (part of their attempt to combine elements of the cartoon and original comic together).

Yeah, I use green shirts. They're just filler for my regular Infantry and drivers for my extra vehicles (mainly Tanks). There just aren't enough characters to drive all my vehicles - especially because many of the named characters are supposed to be Light Infantry/Spec Ops guys who shouldn't be tied down to driving vehicles.

His farewell thread got moved to SPAM. What does that even mean? It's weird. I always enjoyed his posts. He made me laugh a LOT. I sent him a PM to say goodbye. He lives up here in our area, Fogger.
