Special Operations is exactly what it sounds like. Every soldier in a Special Operations unit like Psy Ops, or 160 SOAR has to pass the minimum requirements for USASOC.

I feel the same way about both of those two. I think I remember reading (Probably at the beginning of this thread) that the Jungle schools guys would be Rangers. Probably So but supposedly you don't have to be a Ranger to go. Assuming they are, that's Mutt, Wreckage, Big Brawler, Outback, Pathfinder?
Outback is an Airborne Ranger Wreckage and Brawler are probably Rangers Pathfinder is hard to say for sure, but likely. Airborne and Ripcord should have been Rangers like Freefall Drop Zone is Probably a Ranger I always thought Spirit should have been a Ranger, but there's no evidence to support that at all. Gung-Ho and Leatherneck are Rangers because it's required for all Force Recon Marines... and for most SEALs. Now for Special Forces... Beach-Head is a Green Beret Drop Zone is a Green Beret Flint is a Green Beret Falcon is a Green Beret Gen. Colton is a Green Beret Duke is a Green Beret

And if Bull Horn is a Marine Scout/Sniper, then it's more than likely he's a Force Recon Marine, and that means he's a Ranger.

the file cards make it clear
so lets compare daina and volga's filecards both have the CHARACTERS name as Daina in one way or another, both have the character as a sniper, both make reference to specific traits of her personality and that she is a skilled tactician next to only Colonol Brekov himself, almost the same phrase there on the filecard I understand your point, the figures are not the same, got it, but we are talking about the FILECARDS, and the characters on them.

First of...
let's clarify... airborne/ranger qualified or actually served in Airborne/Ranger units prior to Joes and/or acts a Airborne/Rangers for Joes? I have always assumed that once a Joe candidate becomes a Greenshirt they have go thru alot of qualifications to graduate into full Joe status. This includes Jump quals if they haven't already earned their wings...which I assume the majority of Joe have to have, if not all must have. They have to go thru rigorous Ranger/SF training or Ranger/SF like training as Greenshirts Survival Training, Weapons profenciency etc... GI Joe is a highly trained Special Missions Force after all. |

I like the idea of Bull Horn just not sure about the whole crowd control theme I know the army was working on dealing with hostile crowds and how to deal with them. I'm just not sure it was something that a covert team was really needing to focus on

Special Services is crazy stuff: Cutter was the women's swimming coach at Annapolis. Footloose was a Basketball coach.

We should ask Thomas Wheeler who wrote the Volga card, why he tried to give Diana a code name. Probably because she is the only October Guard character without one. At this point I just like debating with you because it's silly. Last edited by Loose Cannon; 11-19-2008 at 11:12 AM.. |

We should ask Thomas Wheeler who wrote the Volga card, why he tried to give Diana a code name. Probably because she is the only October Guard character without one. At this point I just like debating with you because it's silly. And I am sorry, but Classifed isnt a name. its a place holder for when you cant print a name. Now if the other card said her name was Chelsea Clinton, then yes, I would agree she was a different character. buts lets really compare these cards for similarities. Both are born in Czech republic/Czechoslovakia Both are Snipers/expert marksman Both are tacticians second only to Brekhov (how can there be two people in second place?) Both are cool/calm/all business in combat, but not off the battle field Both have the name DAINA printed on thier file card. And lets not forget, BOTH ARE THE ONLY FEMALE MEMBERS OF THE OKTOBER GUARD!! If there were two female members then neither would be the ONLY FEMALE MEMBER. Now I agree with Losse Cannon, this is just getting silly, I really can't understand why this is such a big deal for you. we believe one thing, you believe another. The difference is I have gone out of my way to back up everything I have said with facts from the cards themselves and have argued every one of your points with logical arguements. Your responses in both cases seem to imply you think me and Loose Cannon or dumb for disagreeing with you. "How hard is it too grasp that intent and results don't always add up? " "Jesus christ I can't belive I'm arguing this" I am having a polite discussion on the internet, you are getting personal. We can agree to disagree, that is fine. |
