Since I was in Civil Air Patrol in Junior & Senior High. I decided to create a new improved present day 84 RIP CORD. A special thank you to the public Library for "US Air Force Special Ops" by Fred J Pushies for assistance.

Nice takedown. Special Tactics Jumper I'm not familiar with, but the fact he is a Combat Controller is cool.
What other training do Combat Contollers have to go through?

Combat Controllers have to go to Air Traffic Control School then through pipeline of all the "insertion" schools. Specialtactics.com: Pararescue, Combat Control, CRO, STO, SERE, and SOWT Information CCT's that go to AFSOC also had to go through Special Tactics integration training.

Nice backstory. You may want to change Parachute Expert to Parachute Rigger. Here's a good source for finding jobs for your other cards.
Military Skills Translator - Air Force Enlisted Jobs It was interesting to read that the CCT's originally were called Pathfinders. During WWII, The Army created a company sized group of scouts that were parachute qualified. They would be dropped in prior to the assault force. Once on the ground they would use lights, flares and smoke pots to provide a visual guide and weather information to the incoming planes.

Just to take this off-topic slightly.
Ive gotten closer on my Company Joe-verse, to the four 9-man squads in a Platoon. Ive even been able to break them down to two fire teams per Squad. My 1st Platoon [regular infantry] is shaping up nicely. But my 2nd Platoon [Navy/Marines] still only has 3 Squads of 6 or 7 man squad, and 3rd Platoon [Urban Force] also has 3 Squads of 6 to 8 man squads, But when the 6 man 'Medic' squad is disolved and redistributed into their active roles as platoon medics it makes it a small 18 person Platoon.... What do you guys think? Direct Action Battalion made up of 3 Sabre Squadrons; each Sabre Squadron is broken down into a 10 man HQ squad and 4 troops, each specializing in a different infiltration method; Amphibious (Combat Diving, Watercraft) Air (HALO/HAHO, Air Assault) Ruck or Mobility (trained to use vehicles including repair and maintenance so they don't need special drivers) Mountain each troop is composed of 16 operators led by a Major or Captain, that can be broken down into teams of 2,4, 8 etc. They generally operate in teams of 4 and each person on the team is each trained in either Combat Medicine, Communications, Demolitions or Linguist. Although there's alot of cross training. They all have additional skills in things like Hydrography, Surreptitious Entry, Combat Camera, Electronic Surveillance, JTAC, Weather, Sniper, Combat Engineer, etc etc. On top of that, there's ; a Signals/Intel Company which functions like the Joe's Intelligence Support Activity ; An Artillery Battery where the operators function like Commando Artillery (Airborne inserted JTACs) a Tank Platoon where the operators are cross trained as Colts. All Direct Action troops are E6 or higher and all Officers are O3 or higher except the occasional Lt there to get experience. |

Love that set up Tyroc. So is that a product of how many Joes you have or just the ones you care about most? How many Joes total? (I know like me you mix in other toy lines and characters)
I know for myself my team can get a little top heavy. I have about 120-130 officers from 0-10 to WO-2. So for about a 400 man battalion 1/3 are officers.

So does anyone want to try and get all the custom cards together to try and vote? Any more sub missions? Maybe we can just do one category first.
Like updated filecard.

That's fine. I'll be submitting my Stretcher card for that category. If people want to send image links, I'll volunteer to make a poll thread. I kind of thought we would be done with this by now.
