Guy I work with, his son is down at Fort Bragg learning to be a Drone Operator.
See the movie Eagle Eye? I like the use of Drones in that movie. Scoop being a drone operator could work, but I'm liking Mission Central more and more.

The other comm guys are field operators, Scoop would run the greenshirt Mission Central. Think of the mission room like Houston Space Centers. Scoop runs the room, with others at monitoring stations.
The Joebase I hope to someday build would have the mission control center with Hawk's office, the officer's offices and Scoop's office off of it, as well as the mission briefing room. |

Scoop runs Misson Control. I'm not sure what to do with Dee-Jay. I think he'd be in R&D working on new communications devices.

Still a drone operator would be useful. Of course I don't want a Daemon character. That guy was not cool. Firewall I liked but Daemon was a waste. I suppose someone like HardDrive, or Hacker, or Hi-Tech could do this job.

I kind of like Psyche-Out but he's not a field Op. I loved him in the Cobra Civil war when his team was in charge of the Rolling Thunder.

That's why I put him in mission planning/briefing. His office would be off the mission control room, and he'd be there during missions to provide on-the-spot analysis and help. "Okay, Bludd's lost half his men." P-O: "Typically this is when Bludd is his most dangerous. Watch for him to try to flank you or pull some kind of distracting manuveur." Matt Tracker would be perfect to be the Drone Operator. He could be the one that develops/builds them and then flys them.

Yeah. I use/see him like in Special Missions #7, where he and Chuckles planned the mission and it revolved around figuring out how the opposing forces would think and react to different situations.

I was planning on bidding on someones 25 issues for $50, but I couldn't pull the trigger. I have no good reference for hardly any of the 87,88, and 89 years of characters. I was living in Costa Rica and I didn't get a subscription until 1990 around issue 100. A lot of those guys had only bit parts in the main Marvel line. They get to shine in the SMs. I only have the one with Lifeline/Leatherneck/Wildbill and Roadblock. I'm not a huge Lifeline fan, but the comic was awesome even with him stealing the show. The other one I have was the death of the Oct. Guard. That's it. |

I figure Snake-Eyes would be useful for lone wolf missions: recon or assassination.

I wonder with the phoenix guard if Copperhead was actually ex-Navy Seal as was mentioned. Guillotine is Ex-SEAL. Yeah back in the day I remember reading Soldier of Fortune Magazine and it was full of ads to go to Africa. Mercenaries have existed for as long as there has been war. Individuals disgruntled, disallusioned, and incapable of returning to society. But I guess this is how Cobra gets Half it's recruits.
Was Wilder Vaughn a Green Beret as well or was he another nationality?

A few remarks about Psyche Out...
I worked with 4th Psy Ops Group (Airborne) at Ft. Bragg. Psy Ops falls under Special Operations Command. Fantastic unit - really Outstanding. Psy Ops generally attaches itself to a combat unit - so with a 12 man Special Forces A-Team, they might add 2 PsyOpers, and a Civil Affairs soldier. They are trained to work together. It's all about force multiplication. The Psy Ops guys bring peakers to confuse the enemy with noise or loud music, or a Psy Ops Soldier might hand out pamphlets to indigenous people trying to help the SF guys recruit an army to train. Psy Ops officers are like SF Officers - they don't start off as Psy Ops. They come from other areas like Infantry or Intelligence and then they apply and try out for Psy Ops. It's not as intense as Special Forces, but it is Spec Ops and it's pretty serious. Consequently, by real Army standards: Psyche Out would be at least Airborne Qualified, and very possibly Ranger qualified (a LOT of the Psy Ops Officers are Ranger qualified). He would be an excellent Combat leader, but mainly tasked for odd missions, like distractions, etc. He makes an excellent choice for an XO on Night Force, and for the entire Joe Special Ops Command under Falcon. I mean, everybody should use him as they best see fit, but I'm just saying that a Psy Ops Officer is the REAL DEAL. They are not to be taken lightly as some kind of Pogue. They are Special Operations Officers.
