You're exactly right. And then Headman got on the thread... and as you can imagine, any reasonable debate on that thread was ended promptly.

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. Obviously, the Special Forces guys we've listed are presumably Ranger qualfied. In coming up with this new team, part of my intent was to use some characters that I didn't get to use in the ODA Team roster, but there is some overlap. I'd have to look at my list, but off the top of my head: Claymore Brawler Chuckles Tunnel Rat Repeater Sneak Peek Side Track v2 Recoil Muskrat Dart Wild Bill Low-Light and now I'll add Spearhead.

Sandstorm's easy enough to make. He was just a kitbash.
Pair of non-Reactive Armor legs, Reactive armor arm and chests, Resolute or Air Raid helmet

Yeah, he looked like a repaint of RoC Shipwreck, but i couldn't figure out which masked head they used.
Have we ever seen a file card for him? Do we know anything about this character: file name, specialty, etc?

Is it Dawg99 that has it? Ask him to take a pic. I think it was posted before. New name, typical RoC crap filecard.

I'd add SE to this list since he was working for SOG according to the comics. I still can't find any evidence that regular infantry or LRPs worked directly for SOG so he probably went SF at some point. And Recoil, as a LRP--a unit that was redesignated Ranger in 1969--would fall under the Ranger category as well.

Okay, so here’s a decent list (may not be all inclusive) of the Joes who are explicitly confirmed or closely confirmed via interpolation by the file cards as having severed or trained in Special Forces, Ranger School, the Marine Corps and/or Vietnam. You may add any I missed and/or your list of "probables" below.
Special Forces: Breaker (“Project Gamma” was run by Detach B57, Company E, 5th SFGA, 1st SF) Duke ("Went Special Forces in 1969") Flint ("Special Forces School") Falcon ("...served with the 10th SFGA...") Drop Zone (“Special Forces Advisor”) Joe Colton ("Recruited by Special Forces...") Beach Head ("Special Operations Weapons Sergeant (18B)") Ranger/LRRP/LRP or Ranger School: Scarlett Snake-Eyes (“Ranger qualified and graduated from Recondo School in Nha Trang”) Clutch Wild Bill (“LRRP”) Stalker Alpine Flint Lady Jaye Crankcase Beach Head Claymore Crazylegs Sneak Peek Tunnel Rat Outback (“Ranger Handbook (1969 edition)”) Starduster Muskrat Repeater Recoil (“LRRP”) Free Fall Skydive (“spent ten years on staff at the Ranger School”) Storm Shadow (“LRRP”) Marines: Gung-Ho Leatherneck Mainframe Sgt Slaughter Hollow Point ("...served with Marine Expeditionary Unit") Sgt Stone (Marine tatoo in ROC film) Vietnam Service: Snake Eyes (“...served in Long Range Recon Patrols in South East Asia”) Stalker (“...served in the same L.R.R.P. unit with Snake-Eyes...in Southeast Asia”) Gung-Ho (“Recondo School” probably in Nha Trang) Wild Bill (“...participated in LRRP...during South East Asian debacle”) Duke (“Worked with tribesmen in the boonies of South Vietnam”) Spirit (“Served in South East Asia...”) Keel-Haul (“Flew Phantom F-4s off the Intrepid in the late 60s...”) Leatherneck (“1st Recon Bn in Vietnam”) Mainframe (“...made it over to South-East Asia for the last year of hostilities”) Claymore (“...served three hitches back to back somewhere in South East Asia” probably in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) Outback (the "Ranger Handbook" of 1969 implies he probably served in a LRP company and then a Ranger company in Vietnam) Tunnel Rat (official Tunnel Rats only served in Vietnam) Payload ("He flew F-4 Phantoms over southeast Asia for three tours") Repeater (“With close to twenty years in the Army...” he most likely served in Vietnam though it's not certain) Recoil (“LRRP” units only served in Vietnam) Joe Colton (“In 1963, after participating in ‘ultra’ top secret combat operations and extensive tours of duty in trouble spots around the world...” probably includes a tour in Vietnam) Last edited by Tanksmasher; 03-22-2010 at 02:14 PM.. |
