I've been going over the old Joe file cards, and I must say, out of all of the Joes, I think Scarlett is probably the best trained soldier of the bunch;
PMOS: Intelligence; SMOS: Classified Education: Advanced Infantry Training, Ranger School, Covert Ops School, Marine Sniper School, Special Air Service School, Marine Tae Kwan Do Symposium Qualified Expert: M-14, M-16, M-1911A1, M-79, M-3A1, M-700 (Remington Sniper Rifle), MAC-10, XK-1 Power Crossbow, Throwing Stars, Garotte, Ka-Bar She's also probably ex-CIA. Snake Eyes would be her only real competition. Whereas Grunt is the weakest; PMOS: Infantry; SMOS: Small Arms Armorer, Artillery Coordinator Education: Advanced Infantry Training (top ten of his class) Qualified Expert: M-14, M-16, M-1911A1 (Auto-Pistol) Not to say that an 11B isn't skilled, but I'd have thought a specialized team like G.I. Joe would require more than Basic Training and AIT. He's not even the only armorer on the team. I'm just wondering what he did to get selected. Everyone else has some pretty sick skills; Clutch went to Ranger School, Covert Ops and Body Guard School. Breaker speaks seven languages and was involved in "Project Gamma". Flash got his Master's in electronics, went to Electronics, Covert Electronics and Chemical school. Hawk went to west point and Covert Ops school. Short-Fuze and Zap are Combat Engineers. Stalker is a medic and linguist, not to mention a Ranger. Steeler was ROTC and went to Covert Ops school. Rock'N Roll and Grand Slam both have significantly less training than the rest of these guys, but still more than Grunt. And these are just from the 1982 era.

Grunt ----- the perfect name for a soldier ---- that's how he made it.

I'd add Claymore and Hard-Drive as a couple of those over the top Joes.
But Bombstrike and maybe Major Altitude as some of the worst. |

I take back my missives about Grunt. I missed Tripwire being a high-school drop-out, and getting kicked out a Zen monastary. This guy can't even handle doing the dishes without screwing up - how did he ever get to be a Joe member? Sure, he's good when he's handling explosives, but he'd be otherwise worthless as a soldier.

The problem with Scarletts is that as a woman, she'd never have been allowed to go to Ranger School and those other Special Forces schools.
She had to get her training from somewhere else. We look at all the filecards in the "what secretes lurk in the filecard" thread and the Grunt thing has come up. We actually went to the source (Hama) and he basically said that all the Joes are either Rangers or Ranger-Qualified (for the army ones anyways).
