IIRC, Med Alert's secondary MOS was "tai chi chuan instructor."

Interesting points about Spearhead. Given his skills in finance and the fact that he's had some post secondary education, i would think that might make him a bit older by the time he reached the Joe. Given that, most of the Joes must be in their late 20's/early 30's by the time they're tapped for the team. I cant see too many troops in their early 20's on the team.

So I agree Spearhead is probably a Ranger, or a Corporal who is about to go to Ranger School since that sort of makes him an NCO. There aren't to many Hand to Hand combat instructors in the Joes but lets see:
Grid-Iron, which doesn't make sense for an officer to be doing that, but as a Infantry Officer you long proved the case to me Oliver that he is most likely a Ranger school grad anyway. Budo? Dojo? Storm Shadow you figure sure, he's with SE and Stalker. Not sure about the rest of the rest of Ninja Force and there difference Fighting style instructor backgrounds. Nunchuku instructor? Who am I missing. I feel like there is another non Ninja Hand to Hand guy. Spearhead, to me, just seems like the guy who would get tapped for Ranger School. But I don't like any of my "named" Joes being below the rank of E-5... just doesn't make any sense to me. I've got Green Shirts and PIT Commandos for privates and specialists.

Couldn't agree more, although I still look at many of the E-4s as just younger guys who rise to the top of the greenshirts. They are either faster, or stronger, or more skilled. Although I use the Desert Duke as Spearhead and he is an E-6 now.

Marine-Deadpool and I are working on a Special Unit of Ranger qualified Joes to use as a Counter-Terrorist Strike Force. Their uniforms are all a LOT more similar, but I think it's going to work well. Anyway, I was just thinking of who else to add, and Spearhead popped into my brain. It just makes sense. I think I will use the Desert Duke arms... that's a really good idea for that character.

Hey did anybody see that crazy "beach-head" thread from earlier? The guy who started it was like: why do people like Beach-Head? He's just a Firefly rip-off... what's the big deal?
I feel like if the guy really wanted to know what was up with Beach-Head, he would have come to this thread and asked us. It's like the guy didn't even want to take time to read the file cards. Lame.

So who do you have?
Ranger or Ranger qualified: Stalker Snake-Eyes Clutch Scarlett Alpine Lady-Jaye Beachhead Tunnel-Rat Outback Crazy-Legs Muskrat Sneak-Peek Starduster Freefall Skydive Dart Sidetrack V2 Claymore Crankcase Rampage Roadblock through the comics Did I miss anyone? So my list of probable Green Berets: Rock'n'Roll should be Special Forces. It's the only excuse for the beard. Breaker should be as well. As should Stalker and Hawk. Ripcord Spirit Recondo Outback Recoil My list of probable Rangers or Ranger Qualified Grunt Zap Tripwire Mutt Footloose Spearhead Ambush Hit & Run Pathfinder Static Line Altitude (He's an E-9) Mercer (He's an E-9 although I have him as a Delta guy in my verse that went undercover with Rourke and Chuckles and Mace and Faces) Airborne (Talltree) Airborne (Six) Rapid-Fire Super Trooper Crossfire Crosshairs Benchpress Manleh Shimik Redmack Gen Flagg Lowlight Airwave should be a Combat Controller, as should Dial-tone, but if not they should be Rangers as well. |

Oh well.... I'm not really allowed to give my personal opinion of members All my named Army Joes are Rangers and/or Ranger Qualified.

Agreed - I got by Larry's answer from a while back, since it makes sense to me.
