I'm surprised no one mentioned the Resolute box set filecards. Not to say thtat they are perfect, but with ROC and POC crap, these brought a tear to my eye. Beachhead, Stalker, Flint and Scarlet I was most impressed with. They could be better, but far superior to ROC/POC.

"Kill Bin Laden" is the Delta Force book by Dalton Fury. It's easy to get those mixed up. I haven't read the Moore book, but I have read "Kill Bin Laden".

Yeah. And there is not definitive answer to whether she's army or air force.
I sort of laugh about the file cards sometimes. By this point, this thread have put WAY more thought into the file cards than Hasbro ever did. No wonder we're continually disappointed... no wonder we had to write our own.

Yo Joe! Sit-Rep Yo Joe! Sit-Rep I think they did some very good things. I find it funny that Flint's file card now says "classical Scholar" instead of Rhodes scholar... so instead of earning a scholarship to Oxford University to do graduate work, he's just a guy who majored in Classics at college. HA.

The latest file cards are a real joke and disappointing to say the least, no real information at all! Certainly not like the ones we all enjoyed as kids!

Anyway, I got to looking at the 12" Joes they released with Spytroops and VvV about 6 or 7 years ago... and there was a 12" Barrel Roll (I'll try to include a pic). He's sort of an aquatic Paratrooper figure and he's definantly a sniper and an E-4, but the main thing is his branch of service: U.S. Air Force. The figure is wearing a USAF T-Shirt.
And so this got me thinking... Could our suspicions have been right all along. Could Barrel Roll be a USAF PJ/CCT Sniper? Let's hear what y'all think. I know the Joe-verse isnt like the real military and has the ability for women to have access to only male fighting units. But its the route of most entertainment today. Funny how this is working out I picked up Bombstrike because she sounded like my sister, playing soccer, in Civil Air Patrol, works at cessna and has a Masters degree in mathematics. So I 2nd the idea as USAF for the Stall family.

I agree, Tall Creeper. I also want to tell you that your new IG logo is awesome. Using that Sideshow Billy was pure genious.

Very cool, for Barrel Roll, a legit Enlisted Member of USAF. I wonder if he had his went thru the pilot skills from the Civil Air Patrol, along with his older brother Blackout and younger sister Bombstrike? How my younger sister and I did.
