I did it with the 3pack officer set. Now I have Repeater, and Airstrike (Combat Controller). For now I'm calling the Pitt Commando from the other TRU set Grunt. BTW I also won a Black Repeater from the upcoming 5 pack. He is now SSgt Mac Eliot from Predator. He's nice. Almost as nice as the Roadblock from the upcoming Machine gun set with Tripwire. I'm very happy. I only wish they had made Gung-Ho that big, versus the little scrawny one from Walmart. Quote:

How about Globally Integrated Joint Operational Element?
Sounds right to me, although I like Zulu's just as much. I see Duke as getting reassigned from Special Forces after the war in Nam and then going to Ranger School to further his leadership development before taking on various instructor roles before joining GI Joe, maybe even serving briefly with Delta Force. I think a lifer like Duke would get his hands into a little bit of everything the military has to offer. I agree, and I accept the "Joe Declassified" as part of the mythos. Not so sure about the Dreadnok one. Snake-Eyes Declassified...NO WAY! You know I think Oliver may be on to something about Roadblock being a Green Beret as well. Makes you wonder when they met Flint. It would be awesome if Hama could go back and fill in some of the gaps like what some of the Joes, besides the original 13, were doing before they got picked up on the Joe team. It would be a great way to showcase random fanboy characters. But that will never happen. Although the Origins series now is exactly that. |

Joe Declassified showed Doc, Wild Bill and Ace all part of the Joe team with the O13. Or at least assissting the team and maybe not official members yet.

I had just put an order into TRU last week before the sets came up, dammit...
Got CS Duke, JA Ripcord and the Snarler set coming from HTS and got Charbroil, Night Adder, Kamakura and Nano-Viper coming from TRU. I'm waiting for 'em to get Bench Press and Snow Serpent up on the TRU site.

working on my Joe organizational chart and came across this interesting little note- the 2002 General Tomahawk filecard lists his primary as Ranger & his secondary as Intelligence. Also lists his rank as O-8.

The funny thing according to him is that even those West Point guys who washed out of Ranger School were "retroactively" awarded the Ranger tab (I guess some cadet's influential daddy pulled some strings). This practice, according to Reed, has gotten so out of hand that the Ranger tab has been rendered meaningless as it applies to West Point graduate officers, and Reed himself refuses to wear the tab in silent protest. |

speaking of Rangers- Rampage's file card says he served in the same Ranger detachment as Beachhead

It's a sort of an inside joke, seeing as how one of the Rampage figures was just a repaint of the Valor vs. Venom Beach Head figure. Also, Rampage's file name and birthplace are that of a Marvel comic book penciler (Walter McDaniel, he used to do Deathlok and Deadpool, IIRC).
