Flint Green Beret but finished ranger school Beachhead Roadblock not on the filecards ever, but IDW has him with DUKE previously in the Rangers Rampage Repeater Airborne I Not on the Filecards ever Dusty I Not on the Filecards ever Desert Wolf Tripwire not on the filecards ever, but IDW has him in the Rangers Crazylegs Claymore Green Beret but finished ranger school Rock N Roll Not on the Filecards ever Storm Shadow Stalker Snake Eyes Wade Collins Sidetrack Dusty, Rock'n' Roll, Roadblock, Tripwire and Airborne are probably all Ranger qualified though. Same with the rest of Sky Patrol, and Recondo, and Pathfinder, Spirit, Wreckage, Ripcord, Grid-Iron, Rapid-Fire, Major Storm, Doc, and Hawk.

Also any Chemical / CBRN NCO's attached to the Ranger Regiment, Special Forces Groups or Special Mission Units (like the Joes could be) would be Ranger qualified (the billet is a 'V' coded position) so one could argue that Air Tight, Ozone and Clean Sweep are Ranger Qualified.

Sorry if I missed it from earlier in the thread, but I'm trying to include the COPS characters too. Just wondering how you are handling the code names that are duplicated between COPS and Joes? Also, I'm not sure what to do with Checkpoint. I'm trying to keep everything in a 84-87 time range which messes up Beachhead/Checkpoint and COPS being set in the future. I figure I could just use the COPS characters, but tone the tech down so they fit in the 80's and have Beachhead and Checkpoint be older and younger brother rather then father and son.
Here's his thread. Definitely worth a read, DH has some great ideas http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...top-brass.html |

Which IDW is that? The 25th comic/figure pack with issue 36 1/2 (A Bad Day at the Circus) had a flashback to Duke, Flint and Roadblock together on an op in Benzheen. I assumed they were all Green Berets on that one.

The Marvel comic heavily implies Roadblock's a Green Beret in the old days, given how Duke and Roadblock arrive together and clearly know each other and then when Flint arrives, he and Duke clearly know one another and Roadblock seems to know him given his conversation with Jaye. The comic pack issue was probably picking up on that.

Infantry officers who should have attended Ranger School: Capt Grid-Iron Capt Rapid-Fire Where did you come up with the following Joes as being part of the 75th Rangers: Repeater Muskrat Desert Wolf Tunnel Rat Sidetrack Dart Crankcase Skydive Hawk If I remember correctly Tunnel Rat, Crankcase and Dart's filecards state they went to Ranger School, not necessarily served in the 75th (unless I missed a filecard someplace). Skydive states he was an instructor at the Ranger School. Does one have to serve in the 75th before becoming an instructor? I thought the two entities were separate? The 75th Rangers have their RASP school (which is separate from Ranger School). Also a general questions....is the Ranger Creed used by soldiers in the 75th Regiment or by anyone who has graduated Ranger School? |

I can't remember whcih comic I am thinking about. All the IDW reviews don't give me a lot of clues to which one I was thinking about. Maybe it's the 36 1/2?

Also a general questions....is the Ranger Creed used by soldiers in the 75th Regiment or by anyone who has graduated Ranger School? All of these would be speculation. Although Ranger School is separate I would not treat it as so. Skydive Crankcase -Because he got to go to SAS school. he must be a Ranger Ranger Tunnel-Rat -Because he went to Grenada -Only Rangers and 82 Airborne went to Grenada Repeater - He wears a Ranger tab on his hat. I see that as a slight of hand to promote his Rangerness. Do non-75th Rangers wear a tab on their BDU lids? I don't know. I would assume they were it on their Dress uniforms and maybe their Work BDUs. But if it ain't your unit then why wear it so prominently on your head? I think under current grooming standards its a violation to have anything but Rank on your Patrol Cap. Maybe this is why he never gets promoted? http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/p670_1.pdf One picture I have seen of this not being the case was back in 1986 when I guess you could. This guy is a Ranger BTW. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._excercise.jpg The others I don't know. I don't have anything that would lead me to believe one way or the other that they are part of the 75th. THey are all listed as Ranger school grads though. They have a Ranger feel to me.. Muskrat, and Dart seem like natural Rangers. Sidetrack and Desert Wolf are listed as RANGER as their role on the top of their filecard. Hawk is a mistake he could be anything though? He could probably go to the bottom of the list with Clutch and Alpine and Lady Jaye
