But which Joe would work as a trained Parkour if any of them.
There are a few that I can imagine... Quick-Kick, Snake Eyes and Kamakura are good choices. What about Jinx? |

I want to say Lifeline and Recoil. I get the feeling they are into stuff like that.

I like to think of them more as a Spearhead group running deep recon missions, Training local Forces, and just being forwardly deployed.

So I just had an idea for 2011's Hasbro's online exclusives. So it's an all female unit (or support unit). Im kinda bummed about this years online exclusives being duplicates of already released figures with only one or two wanted figures, this one would have maybe 1 or 2 repeats. Tho, I have no idea how to get the wheels turning on the project.
---Spell Of The Sirens---- Joes -Scarlett -Lady Jaye -Covergirl (episode not movie version) -Joe 'greenshirt' female brown hair -Joe 'greenshirt' female black hair -Joe 'greenshirt' female blonde hair and to round it out but not in the episode: -Shooter or Mercy (DOC II Carla Greer) Cobra - 7 characters -Baroness -Cobra Female Trooper Blonde hair ponytail (also in "World Without End") -Cobra Female Trooper long Red-ish blonde hair -Cobra Female Trooper short hair -Female Televiper two figures not in episode, but really in need of a figure -Cadet Demming - Crimson Guard ("Theres no place like Springfield") -Raven - Female Night Raven pilot ("In the presence of mine Enemies") and a possible standby: -Mara- Cobra Eel type Wouldnt these sets sell like hot cakes?

Yeah Takedown, as long as the sculpts are good they'd sell like crazy.
I'm liking the idea of Hit & Run. I think Parkour would already be a part of tthe ninja training, especially more modern ones. Would make sense for them to follow the discipline. I'm leaning towards Quick Kick. Could be something he had picked up when working as a stuntman.

Troynos, how is the idea for a chatroom-discussion site working out? Because chatting with my bestfriend isnt the most productive. He's stating that I shouldnt make the Joe Team military. He's still of the opinion that only the cartoon exists and that the Joe team can recruit civilians... Ripcord, Lifeline, Barbecue, Shockwave and Quick Kick, etc.
Tho since I am keeping it military, now he's saying they can go to any service and say 'I want training in this area because Im a JOE'. Even if their MOS has nothing to do with the area of training. Tho he thinks training makes them one. According to his idea, That's why Shipwreck is a Navy Seal even tho his 2 jobs have no Operational properties for serving in the Navy SEALS, Im trying to tell him that the training doesnt make them a navy seal, getting Ranger training doesnt make you a Ranger, that just makes them qualified in whatever, [ie: diving, master parachutist, marksmen, discipline]. Getting the training doesnt make you a navy seal. Being a navy seal is being a cog in that unit, Just like being a GI JOE, Special Counter Terrorist Group-Delta [Marvel Comic] or Special Missions Force [Sunbow Cartoon]. When you just watch JOES they are superheroes. He never read JOES because his favorite characters werent in the comic: Mainly, Shipwreck. But Shipwreck to me in the cartoon is a joke. He's GM1/MM1 in my world with the dixie cup. I scraped off the Arch. I made Topside Chief. So Im not prescribing to the cartoon idea that everyone can fly a helicopter or a jet, just because they can get any training 'because they're GI JOE'. But it would explain why everyone can fly a plane, tank, helo or skyhawk. I really dont want to retcon the whole Group. Tho I have to say Ripcord being a Combat Controller in the Air Force really works. Demolitions, Communications and HALO jumper qualified. Better than being a civilian skydiver.

I'd imagine the Joes would get special consideration for training. OR say 5 slots a year or class reserved for BUDS maybe 10 or more for Ranger School.
But since they sort of recruited form those units already, I'd imagine they would care more for specialized training, like Mountaineering, Diving, HALO, Medic, Combat Contol, EOD and Arctic. Yet they sort of bring those guys along. The best experts, trainers already are part of the Joes so they wouldn't need to go to a new school. (Outback, Recondo, Gung-Ho, Iceberg to name a few) But formalized schooling is probably better. Joe school would probably be more like Nha Trang Recondo school. They just throw you out there. I wonder if the Joes had their own school, which I guess they do, would it be harder than Special Forces Q courses? Or Delta Force which we really don't know about. I suppose if recruit guys that are expert EOD, but it would be nice if they had HALO training, then you should be able to send them there. I think Delta Force can send their guys to anything they want to go and do. It's up to the Team Leader, who is a Sgt Major, to decide and his signature probably always gets to the top of the pile of whoever is being selected to fill slots.

My 2 cents:
I think that most Joes would come to the unit as Greenshirts with certain requisite training (meaning any combination of school A, B, C, etc). During their Greenshirt time, they would be sent off to certain specialty schools like the ones Loose Cannon named (Mountaineering, Diving, HALO, Medic, Combat Contol, EOD and Arctic). Whenever this happened, they'd be sent under orders showing they belonged to some rear echelon support unit. Fans of The Unit will remember the reaction form people when Unit Operators said they were from the 303rd Logistical Studies Group. Afterward, I think that most of the required recertification training would probably be conducted in-house. The SEALs would take care of everyone's scheduled dive recerts, and so on. |

I agree with both DNJ and Loose, the way I have my Joes work is that once they pass initial selection, (basic airborne is a pre requesite) Joes then become green shirts. They're trained by Sgt Slaughter and his Marauders in everything from SERE, Underwater Egress, first aid, combat driving, fieldcraft, land navigation, movement and maneuvres, etc.
Most of this training may seem redundant to most operators but the Marauders stress small team and mostly individual skills. Also Intelligence gathering, Covert ops and languages come into play here. After this, they get assigned a training troop and become Rawhides under Beach Head. Here they learn from the various Joe experts. Troop specific skills are; Air - HALO/HAHO, parachute rigging, etc Amphibious - Combat Diving, Underwater navigation, use of small craft (keppler canoes, Devil Fish, Manta Ray surfs) Mobility - Advanced driving, land navigation, basic mechanics, Mountain - Rock Climbing, Arctic training etc |

In terms of how hard Joe School is, I'm torn. There's the issue with Repeater and Charbroil that seems similar to some of the stuff in G.I. Jane. There's also a issue with Scoop where Stalker training him on the ride to the insertion point( maybe a Special Missions issue). They talk about the dogtags in the bootlaces and having two bandages (one for the entrance wound, one for the exit wound). Scoop was pretty shaky in that mission.
