That diagram looks like it came straight out of FM 7-8... I think I just had a flashback to ROTC at Ole Miss.

There's no mistaken that chart, lol
So being pointman, would Spearhead be a Ranger?

I'm saying that Spearhead distinguished himself as an Infantryman because of his leadership ability - that might have gotten him tapped for a Ranger School slot. And as a Ranger-qualified Infantryman, with an outstanding service record, he might have gotten an invitation for Joe Selection.

It's kind of funny how we want so many Joes to be Ranger-qualified or SF-qualified. I think it's because the Joe team is such an elite, super force, that recruiting Rangers or SF just makes sense.

Yep. I just have a hard time seeing an infantry man go straight from the Army to the Joes. If he was such a great specimen wouldn't his COs have tapped him for Spec Ops before the Joes got ahold of him?

Well, we know he has to be Airborne qualified to be in the Joes, so it's more than possible that he was in the 82nd Airborne Infantry as a Pointman. If he got sent to Ranger School from the 82nd, that unit gets noticed. A lot of guys from the 82nd try out for Special Forces and Delta.

Even guys like Grunt have a special quality about them. I think he would be perfect Ranger material even though his file card doesn't even hint at this. I think most of the Joes should come from some SOF, except for those that have certain skills or a particular job specialty that does't require being apart of an SOF unit, like Shipwreck or Ace.
