I'm not talking reality, I'm just talking what's listed on the cards.
Let's figure out which ones didn't have formal military training, by the cards, and then figure out how they got to the JOes.

Possibility of no Military Training: Shockwave, Bullhorn (possibly, but I still go with the USMC), Bulletproof, Sure Fire, DJ, Bar-B-Q, Wide Scope.
Recoil is different. He's a LRRP. His military training is not specified, but I think it's an implied necessity. Basic, Infantry AIT, Airborne, Ranger, Pathfinder, Air Assault, HALO/LALO, Scuba, Sniper, etc. The activities the file card lists seem like hobbies to me.

Troynos, you're now a Mod and you have the highest Post Count of anyone I know on the thread...
Does this mean you're famous enough to rate your own entourage? If so, I was wondering if the guys and I here on the File Card Thread get to be your "peeps". Like if a Tanker on another thread asks you some complicated question about Joe, you might say, "Let me check with my 'peeps' and get back to you."

The other day I referred to this thread as a "legacy". It's almost a forum within a forum. There's nothing else like it on Hisstank. I would be interested what Destro and the other Mods think of this Thread? I reference the thread too. Like when a file card related question was the subject of another thread the other day by a new Tanker, I posted something like: Hey, you should just read the file card thread. It will answer all your questions about continuity." I wonder if anyone ever says, "I wonder about ______? Maybe I'll read through the file card thread. Or maybe I'll ask the file card guys." ?

I dunno - at this point I think it's almost too unwieldy for a casual reader to go through. I mean, hell, we're well over 8000 posts now. That'd take a LONG time to catch up on.

I also find it amusing when it's obvious that they didn't read and they offer up some random bits of info from the file cards... like in 8,000 pages we haven't covered it. It's cute, really. How are you feeling, man? Are you doing better?

It is definitely a forum within a forum. I know I don't contribute but this is the only thing I read beside the custom forum(and sometimes the general forum, if my wife is being a douche.)

Love your tanks Fireflyed.
Oliver, how long would it take to get someone like Shockwave thru basic, airborne school, etc.. if fast tracked?

I figure (working within the framework of the Joe-verse) Shockwave could be a civilian who gets his military training within the Joe unit. is there a list of Joes in this thread that aren't US military? Like, Storm Shadow (who obviously had his past military experience) but after he "joined" the Joe team i highly doubt he was 'regular military' (or likely even officially existed) Quote:
