Oliver,
I use Wide-Scope. Because he is SWAT and comes with a sniper rifle. Bull Horn seconds. Also, what I said about Chuckles...I meant it in a Good way. I love MASH. As far as his personality, meant that he was the secret spy type of guy. I use to lump him with the MPs as a CID but I came to follow the comics more than the Filecard when it comes to chuckles. |

I agree about the beret thing. Did anyone notice that even though Beachhead is a ranger on his filecard he has a red beret on his shoulder?

Do you guy have anyone whose filecard just seems so off-base or even just part of it, that you pretty much have to change the details in your Joeverse?
YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Altitude For me it's Altitude from Sky Patrol. For example, I like the detail and the comment part. He's a native american, a former syndicated cartoonist and a scout. But what gets me is his rank. E-9. Not just a Sergeant Major which makes him on the older side in Age and experience which would have worked ok (if I didn't already have a problem with the ranks in Sky Partrol.) But a Sergeant Major of the Army? Not a Command Sergeant of a Battalion or Brigade but "THE ARMY". The highest possible enlisted rank, a desk job in the chiefs of Staff in Washington on Combat duty with a special forces sub team of a highly specialized combat unit? I don't know. Maybe it's possible... |

Yeah, about Altitude... that has to be the most ridiculous rank ever printed on a file card, with the possible exception of Mercer v2, who suddenly jumps to Sargent Major. Sometimes I wonder if a computer just randomly assigns the ranks, and nobody checks it.
There's only one SGM of the Army - and he ain't on some top secret Special Ops team. He works for the Army Chief of Staff in the Pentagon. I really don't like it when the Joes rank is just plainly incorrect: Flint v1, or the rank is just weird: Major Altitude, Lt. Torpedo, or when the rank jumps around (up and down) from file card to file card: Rock & Roll, Gung-Ho, etc. About Beach-Head's beret: Yeah, they couldn't even get that one right. He should have had a black one (80's Ranger) too... although, in his Convention Special Tiger Force file card, Beach-Head is listed as Special Forces Qualified - a certified Green Beret. Beach-Head has to be one of the toughest, best qualified Joes on the team.

I'm still maintaining that Chuckles is C.I.A. or possibly D.I.A. HUMINT. That business on his file card about Insurance in Florida just doesn't add up.
C'mon guys,what do you say? Do you think Chuckles is a Spook?

Chuckles is a total company man, that insurance place is a spook factory.
Yeah, I noticed that about the Beret on Beachheads shoulder. Hasbro really needed a military consultant in doing up the filecards and accuracy checking (beret colors, patches, etc..).

Just wondering, how many of you really noticed these inaccuracies as children?

I noticed a few things but only because I read a lot of military books and my father and older brother were in the reserve.
