I like to think a few VIP's are reading this thread. Im excited about this years set, tho I might not have the 'Senates' approval to authorize funding for this set. Im not sure but I always got this vibe reading the filecard that Claymore was Special Forces. But Im glad he's getting the "un-official" "official" nod for an 18A.
And yeah, there's nothing in the original file card about Special Forces, but I always consider the Collector's Club figures to be Cannon... to be honest, they're the best file cards we've had in years.

So sorry if this has been asked a million times the premise being Im trying to fluff out my Joe teams. I want to put together a group of Rangers. Beachhead is in charge, LowLights in, Stalker ( I think) but who else is out there with the training to qualify? No environment is set. Footloose, Dusty, Claymore, and Airborne all seem likely candidates and Short Fuze even though he's a wash out Beachhead knows he's a good soldier. Suggestions? Background info? More characters with Ranger training that Im missing? Anything would be helpful
And I forgot Muskrat too..on the wiki it at least says he went to the school and Jungle warfare

Just reading a bit more about Dusty trying to find some evidence of Ranger qualifications. According to his file card, he took basic at Ft Bliss TX which at the time (mid 80's) was also host to Desert Ranger training which was phased out in 1991.
Ranger School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fort Bliss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also his '85 fc refers to being part of a rapid reaction force which perfectly describes the Rangers (or the Joes) So what do you guys think? Am I grasping at straws? or is this good evidence that Dusty is at least a Ranger if not SF? |

GI Joe is the codename for America's highly trained, special mission force. In which it's troops wear clothes that could resemble their proper military uniform. But in most instances JOE members change up their uniforms from military protocol. So everyone has a distinctive look from their fellow JOE'S.

Oh, and Sgt Slaughter was a Marine Drill Instructor. He wasn't SF. Of course you are!!! j/k |

I admit the new comic title is harder to distinguish because everyones in the same 'uniform'. I just watched the GI JOE episode "Lights camera Cobra" that has Joes making a GI JOE movie. During the final attack, Bazooka fires a RPG at the building and the set falls down. Was it an actor or the real Bazooka? Bazooka was black!
