I've just this week created four new Marines for GI Joe for use in a customs competition (idea is, you create the characters, winning contestant has the customs made for them). If anyone's interested, I'll post the bios here, since I know some folks have lamented a lack of Marines and Southerners...

Raider Leader
Codename: Devil Dog File Name: Charles Bowser (might change the surname, bit too similar to the POB) Birthplace: Bowers, Delaware Rank: Master Gunnery Sergeant PMS: Grenadier SMS: Drill instructor Devil Dog is your quintessential US Marine. He’s served across the world with the Corps, deploying to Camp Butler in Japan and Camp Mujuk in South Korea for extended tours. After five years as a drill instructor at Parris Island, Devil Dog was approached to lead the new GI Joe Marine Raiders. Devil Dog is qualified with all USMC personal weapons and typically carries the M16/M203 combo. Black hair. White. Raider Gunner Codename: Buccaneer File Name: John Cooper Birthplace: Shreveport, Louisiana Rank: Gunnery Sergeant PMS: Machine gunner SMS: Small-arms repairman Buccaneer is a hard-charging Marine, promoted below the zone three times to reach Gunnery Sergeant younger than anyone else. He specialises in support fire. He can hit targets with a light machine-gun that most other Marines need a scope to spot. Buccaneer is particularly known for his marksmanship whilst firing from the hip and even on the move. He can field strip and repair any Marine personal weapon and can reassemble even the most complex weapons easily. Carries a Light Machine Gun. White, brown hair. Raider Marksman Codename: Bullseye File Name: Alfred Branch Birthplace: Birmingham, Alabama Rank: Gunnery Sergeant PMS: Designated Marksman SMS: Infantry If Buccaneer is the run and gun type, then Bullseye is the guy you’ll barely see moving. Bullseye is fully prepared to sit for days and wait for a target to arrive before putting a single round into the target for the perfect take down. Bullseye has set several records in the USMC for distant target hits and is notorious for never needing more than one shot for a kill. Bullseye served in Grenada and Panama before his selection to the Joe Marine Raider team. Black. Carries a sniper rifle. Raider Signaller Codename: Long Wave File Name: John Silva Birthplace: Rio Rancho, New Mexico Rank: Lance Corporal PMS: Radio Recon SMS: Infantry A specialist in radio reconnaissance, Long Wave was a member of the USMC Radio Recon Platoons, specialising in tactical signals intelligence and electronic warfare. As a member of the RRPs, Long Wave is a graduate of US Army Airborne School, as well as the Marines’ Radio Recon Instruction Programme. He also graduated US Army Ranger School, US Army Military Freefall School and US Army Pathfinder School. He’s HALO and HAHO qualified as well as trained in rappelling and fast-roping. Already fluent in Spanish and English, he’s also learned Russian and Arabic with the Corps. Make no mistake, there’s more to this Marine than taking calls for the squad leader. Hispanic, black hair. Has a backpack radio and carries an M16. |

Long time no speech.
Found out this Thursday 7pm January 30th on our local PBS station "The Aviators" They have a story about Civil Air Patrol Search & Rescue exercise. Yet, I found out most PBS stations have their local station programming managers, so this doesnt help those in other areas. Season 4 Episode 4 "Civil Air Patrol, AWACS and B-17". Here is the teaser: Quote:

Got it. They all sound like much needed characters. Will you be making these customs or does someone else pick a character they like?

Nice team there CapBritain. Like Loose said, some much needed characters. Speaking of, is anyone reading the comics? They introduced a new Marine called "Jarhead" last month. Not the most creative code-name but hey, he's a new "official" Marine Joe.

the coomptition is, to create a four-man sub-team and then a customiser from the forum will create the figures either in o-ring or ME sculpt (per the creator's choice i'd guess), i presume you then get the four customs as the prize, but it's all a bit up in the air atm, I just got carried away and did these guys before it was all finalised.

i am thinking of making it a six man team for my fan-fic, in which case i will add a Navy Corpsman (a Navy guy who's not boats, ships or diving, YAY!). who the 6th will be, I dunno. I'm thinking EOD/Demolitions maybe.
suggestions welcome. |

Well, since you might not know, there is a reason why most of us are like "have one of the Marine team members be a Navy Corpsman". Marines dont have medics in their job description. Since there are two types of Navy Corpsman. Ones that serve in the blue-side navy and ones that are greenside navy that are assigned to Marine units. That train along side of Marines and wear the uniform of a Marine. For example, the Marine landing on Iwo Jima with the raising of the US Flag all were Marines, except one- Navy Corpsman. Since, the Marines dont have medics they use Navy Corpsmen as their medics. And now you know.... (and knowing is half the battle. GI JOE!)
