Ok I'm now confused..... according to that SE vs 3 filecard he was Ranger qualified and graduated form Recondo School before being a LRRP. I thought you had to be a Ranger in order to go to Recondo school and since he graduated from it would that make him a Ranger...heck is he a Green Beret?!? I always kind of thought of him as a GB with his Commando background anyway.
What about Storm Shadow? he served with Stalker and Snake-Eyes...is he a Ranger? This has been a long Monday morning, LOL. |

Yeah, we tend to forget that Storm Shadow has a background in the Army.
Since he and Snake-Eyes were LRRP, we have to assume that they graduated Ranger school.

Well I just thought of this and I may be way off base here but G. I Joe is basically is the Special Forces version of Special Forces so basically would all Army members be considered GB, all Navy be....etc, etc.

I always assumed that all members of the Joe team came from some form of Special Operations (rangers, green berets, seals, etc..) and not just the regular army, navy or air force (Marines are special forces equivalent).

I figured that most of the Mission Assault types are at least Rangers. Then the true specialists maybe not. But they are the best there is. I don't know if there is a dedicated Arctic Warfare Team for the Green Berets even though they probably get Training in everything. So the Joes have guys like Snow Job and Iceberg. Not GreenBerets but if you're stuck on an Icefloe the ability to eat snakes doesn't really help. Same with the Artillery guys and the Electronic/Computer guys.
But yeah what good is Grunt if he doesn't at least go to Ranger School. I'm not sure if you have to be Ranger qualified to go to Jungle School. |

Where is Jungle school anyway? The Marines have one in Okinawa and the Army use to have one in Panama. Is there more?

You know guys, I was thinking, if we wanted to update any file cards or make improvements we could do that at JoeCustoms.com > Home. We could add more detail and depth to the characters and clear up any confusion. Maybe even make some knew characters: PJs, sniper, etc.

Definately going to do that for my custom guys: pararescueman, marine force recon/scout sniper and new communications guy.

So I picked up another Bazooka Trooper yesterday and was reading the filecard. These guys enjoy using their old-style RPG and like the simplicity over the more complicated newer systems.
That's kind of funny. Added some more to my vintage collection: Ripcord (to replace the one I had lost awhile ago) and Tiger Force Tripwire for only $6 bucks (kind of proud of that one).
