A guy like Bulletproof, for example, if he were genuinely "on loan" from the U.S. Marshals. His Pay Grade should be on the GS scale. The equivalent of a Major (0-4) would be a about a GS-13, or so.

Seriously - and I don't mean our friend Troynos - but some of these new mods on the other threads are like the freak'n Gestapo. It's crazy.

I have noticed it a little as well, and was wondering if we might see something like that.

Yeah, I don't think his motives are all patriotic and altruistic either. It's just interesting that they list him with a regular military pay grade.

Pops retired from the Agency as a GS15 which probably put him like a Colonel\ Brigadier General. According to him. So I would say Major would be GS 13s.
Xsoldier you probably know as well as anyone, but it depends on the agency. My wife is a GS14 for DOE but I doubt she could help with any military planning. Although she has the authority to when dealing with foreign mlitary personnel. As her equivalent government agencies for say Russia is run by Generals, and Colonels. Then Again DOE has one of the highest starting base pays due to the amount of scientist and engineers that need to be compensated for the private sector. I guess she gets lucky. This is from the DOD http://www.defenselink.mil/comptroll...appendix_b.pdf This says 0-4 = GS13 sad thing is a GS08= E-9 that's like the Mailroom guy in many government agencies. Personally my Mercer is a SGT Major. While part of the Renegades he was E-5 to start as they were keeping up his cover as Felix Stratton. When Hawk integrated him into the team, it became apparent that he was Richard Cecil and he was much higher ranking than that. Being that he was Delta-Force with intimate knowledge of Cobra he was best suited for the Joes. His team went undercover so long ago he was the only one left. But I love the other theories of him being a Merc, as a Warrant Officer equivalent. |

Nope. Mods are assigned forums. I'm not these forums mod.

Yeah that's how I use him too. In my 'verse, he's yet another of Flagg's secret projects like Rourke. I mean if he was Agent Delta who were the others before him?. In my 'verse, (and I ignore the proper sequence of the greek alphabet ) Flagg knew something was up and sent a few agents into a nascent organization called Cobra. As time went on, agents were infiltrating at lower and lower levels. Storm Shadow had a personal vendetta on tracking down who hired the hit on the Hard Master. If Stalker was the first joe recruited and Snakes behind him, why would Flagg not want to recruit other guys from the same unit (Wade) especially ones with mad operator skills like Stormy?. It just sucked that they both got brainwashed and/or defected after years of undercover (Rourke) only to return home to roost. Alpha - Storm Shadow (Upper Cobra heirachy) Bravo - Wade Collins (Crimson Guard) Charlie - "unknown" Delta - Rourke (Cobra mid ranks) Echo - Mercer (Viper legion) Fox - Agent Faces (various) Golf - Agent Beuke aka Sneak Peek II (Dreadnoks) Helix I've put Agent Charlie as 'unknown' but in my verse it's Major Bludd. He's by no means a Joe agent but according to his filecard he'll work for anyone for the right price. Maybe Flagg has occassionally paid him to give up intel and look the other way. Just seems odd, that everytime Bludd has a joe in his sights, they either get away or fake their death (Recondo) and in Resolute he's murdered as a traitor but I don't recall who and what he betrayed Cobra to?.... in my 'verse, Flagg faked his death. |
