Easy thing to do - I hadn't even thought of either instance until you guys brought it up.

Don't forget in the Joeverse starring Snake-Eyes, the drunk driver was Cobra Commander's brother.

I see Gears as Air Force. I think he spent alot of years in NASA prior to joining the Joes.
So Gears and Spc. Trakker lead the Joe R&D (which is normally done by defense contractors but for the Joes, they handle their own). The rest of R&D is the BF2000 guys (who also serve as the testers of the various prototypes being developed). So Gears and Trakker are the R, and BF2000 are the D.

My thinking about rank in the Joe team is this:
The Joes are the elite or the elite and spent alot of time in the branches before being tapped for the Joe team. As such, they were all top soldiers in their respective jobs and branches. That usually means promotions and ranks. So I see the Joes as all being at least sargeants. Hawk would want every member of the team to have some command experience. He'd want 'em to be able to give orders, but still be used to taking orders (and that's the sargeant role pretty much). Some exceptions would be made if the soldier was exceptional (Ambush, for example and I'd say Repeater never got many promotions since he wasn't a good barracks-soldier). Duke is tapped as the Master Sargeant, with all the other officers ranked above him.

I think being a member of the Joe team means you need to be flexible in who you take orders from and who you give orders to. WOs seem to be those kind of guys that go from extreme to extreme and can jump into any command structure at any point as needed. Which makes for good fits to the Joe team.

One of the custom Joes I'm making will be a combat controller.

Yeah, Duke is definately part of the command/planning staff in his role as Top NCO.
Hey, in the new comic, what do you think of Scarlett's new role? Is she Hawk's XO? Most bases, the general has an adjunct (that is a colonel). Is that what Scarlett's role is now? Or is she a true XO? Is she Hawk when Hawk's not around?

He will later be booted to "Top Kick" Although with the size of the unit and all the Green Shirts he should probably be a Sgt. Major. |
