Troynos, You're a MOD?!!! When did this happen? How did this happen? What does it mean? Are you going to have to start giving us citations when we go off topic?

I don't know if there was any consensus... I figure he was sort of recruited out of the Detroit SWAT Team, but would have had to enlist in the Army and go through Basic Training, Military Police Training, Airborne School and then he may have been invited to attend the Joe Selection course. That's just my guess, and I certainly don't speak for the thread.

I wonder if he's moderator just for this thread. That'd be sweet.

Oh, I'd like to congratulate him for being recognized, but I'm not sure it was a promotion ;)
I guess I'm going to have to start watching what I say around here. It's funny, I can't think of one time I've ever used profanity on this site, and yet I'm always getting in trouble. Troynos, does this new position make you "The Man"? I don't mean like, "You're the Man!" I mean, "The Man is keeping us down."

I don't know if everybody saw the "Which Tankers do you really like" thread. But Troynos was on EVERYBODY's list. He's like the Mayor of Hisstank. And now he's a Mod. I guess we can all say we knew him when.

But it seems like the original intent, as per the 1988 filecard, was for him to be an external, non-military augmentee. |

I don't think a consensus was ever reached. On the one hand he could be, as oliverbox mentioned, a former Detroit cop who enlisted and went through military training (his filecard's sort of vague with regards to his branch of service, so he could be an Army MP, a Marine MP, an Air Force Security Forces specialist, or a Navy master-at-arms or law enforcement specialist). I personally take this view of the character.
But it seems like the original intent, as per the 1988 filecard, was for him to be an external, non-military augmentee. I figure he's got to be Army because Army MP are the only military police force that get Airborne school slots. And Airborne is required for Special Operations Forces.

I knew about it before Joecon, just went into effect today. 1 of 13 people "promoted". In good company of the ones that got promoted.
Haven't been given my "assigned" forums to moderate yet. As for Shockwave, being SWAT, I could see him being completely civilian and picked up by the Joes to help train them in CBQ and In-City Hostage situations. That's not really stuff that, back then anyways, the military covered right? So I could see where the Joes realized they needed some expertise in that field and brought Shockwave and later Wide Scope on board.
