I liked the idea of telling which vehicles they were qualified for, but Low-Light didn't make a lot of sense; he's an infantryman. He doesn't drive much of anything other than his own car when he's off duty. I figure that most anybody could have driven a jeep/hummer or motorcycle type of vehicle. It would have taken some expertise to handle something larger or more complicated.
I almost wish they had done more of a list of the Joe's qualifications. Sort of like how they listed their name, SSN, Military specialties, rank, birthplace, etc. I wish they had then listed their training qualifications. For example: Codename: Stalker Airborne Ranger/Long Range Recon File name: Wilkinson, Lonzo R. Place of Birth: Detroit, Michigan Grade: E-8 (First Sargent) SSN: XXX-XX-XXXX Military training: Infantry School, Airborne School, Ranger School, Recondo School, Air Assault School, Intelligence School, Combat Medic School, EOD School, Sniper Course, Pathfinder School, HALO School. Ranger Hand-to-Hand Combat expert. Further Qualifications: Speaks 6 additional languages (Chinese, Vietnamese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian). Then start the essay/bio story.

I don't own a digital camera. Not even on my cell phone, so I borrowed my fiancee's and she was like, "What are you taking a picture of?" And I said, "Top Secret. The man I'm attempting to photograph doesn't even officially exist." I'll put the pics up as soon as I can.

Hey man, it was good to see you too. I found most of wave 10 this weekend in Olive Branch and Oxford. That was pretty awesome. I just need Airborne now. Who knows how long it will be before we see wave 11. Did you get your DVD sets?

Now that looks like a proper file card. Nicely done Oliverbox, if only Hasbro could take this example and expand it we would be a whole lot happier!!

I agree, more qualifications and training would have been great.

I always found that the little "personal quotes" from the characters on the back of the cards were a waste of space and time. They were usually dumb, and they could have used that space for military qualifications or weapons qualifications.
