An infantry battalion will have about 650 personnel, and includes an HHC with a medical platoon, recon platoon, sniper platoon and mortar platoon. Three Rifle Companies, each with three rifle platoons and one 60mm mortar section. And a Weapons Company made up of four weapons platoons.

General Austin said that SE was the only one who was going to stay active and the other Joes were going to be given administrative duties. He didn't mention Grand Slam or Steeler or Clutch.
As for file cards, don't forget the convention 07 figures: Clutch is an E5 Steeler is an O2 Flash is E5 |

Grand Slam was always the forgotten one.
Poor guy didn't get his "due" until he became part of DDP's 8 member Joe team under Gen. Rey and even then he didn't get alot of "action".

So does anyone else think Steeler was probably a mustang officer? That would explain why the Joes had recruited a 2nd Lt to command their armor unit. I'm thinking he worked his way up through the enlisted ranks and then later went on to become an officer.

If you're talking about the plausibility of Steeler being a "mustang" in your Joeverse, well, I'm pretty sure the Army doesn't have "mustangs" anymore (unlike the Marines and the Navy). The last time the Army allegedly commissioned NCOs was during the first half of the Vietnam War (and even that is disputed by some military historians). |
