Wow I didn't realize there is only the 82nd and the 173rd left.
Do you think the 101st has guys that get Airborne Training? You figure both the 173rd and the 82nd have their own Recon Units which may be on par with the Rangers as far as training and some may actually go through Ranger School. |

I'm willing to bet a decent percentage (maybe 5% to 10%?) of the 101st guys go through Basic Airborne School, even if it's just for the promotion points.

Ugh, I'm pissed.
I was going to take advantage of the TRU online sale and the 10 gift card I was going to get from the retail store sale, and get the PIT. But today found out some fradulent charge was used on my debit card and the bank canceled the card. No new card for 10 days. Going to miss the sale, unless.... can you use paypal on TRU's site?

1.During the Marvel G.I.Joe comic series,we find out why Snake Eyes wears a mask. It is due to the helicopter accident flashback. During a mission in South America or so,where he meets Dr. Venom,Snakes Eyes runs out of a burning building,with his head on fire to jump in the river. Later on he is being interrogated by the Paine brothers and during his escape he has some hot coals thrown in his face. I think there might be a couple of other places where he gets his face disfigured.
2.In Clutch`s Filecard,it says he graduated from Executive Bodyguard School and Ranger School. He likes to grease his hair with motor oil,chews on the same toothpick for months and rarely shaves. |

SE's poor face has been thru a helluva lot. Even in IDW, his face is an object to be beat upon.

Do you think the 101st has guys that get Airborne Training? You figure both the 173rd and the 82nd have their own Recon Units which may be on par with the Rangers as far as training and some may actually go through Ranger School. However, the Ranger Regiment is a pretty ferocious Airborne Infantry element in their own right. As for Recon Units, every Combat Division has a Recon unit - usually a company or platoon sized element. The 82nd, the 173rd, and the 101st all have Airborne LSRC (LRRP) Units. They are all airborne qualified, and ranger qualified, and are all good as any body from the Ranger Regiment. The 101st LSRC unit is called "The Pathfinders" and their history goes back to WWII when they shaved their heads into Mohawks and wore war paint into battle. They're a very serious unit, and the only unit within the 101st that is authorized to wear maroon berets. LSRC soldiers are usually guys who are good enough to get into the Ranger Regiement, and who have already served with the Regiement or are trying to get into the Regiment. Airborne soldiers in general tend to bounce around between the different Airborne units. They call it, "The Airborne Mafia".
