It seems odd that one would be given the opportunity to fail so many times. Also, shouldn't you have to make Joe team before you get a call sign?

I've always thought they had to make up their own call signs. That's probably why noone could ever remember Ghostrider's name. He couldn't have been assigned the code name Ghostrider if even Duke or General Hawk could never remember his name.

It's a long standing military tradition that your call sign comes from your peers, usually at events which involve a lot of alcoholic beverage consumption.

I've never seen that issue, but I figure Funky and Blister are partners like Law & Order. We have Funky Blister. Sounds kind of bad to me. Like something you get after a night of revels.

So I've been re-reading the GI Joe Marvel run and finished up Issue #82 last night. Lightfoot, Repeater, and Budo, along with many other striving Joe team potentials, were going through their rigorous qualification training. Their code names are one their shirts. Along with Repeater, Lightfoot and Budo, you had Bad News, Jodie, Blister, Desperado, Funky, No-Show, and Ice-Pick, along with many others(whose names are not visible). Lightfoot did mention that was not his first rodeo to try and join the Joes, as he had failed some times before. So it got me wondering about Bad News, Jodie, Blister, Desperado, Funky, No-Show, and Ice-Pick. What would their uniforms had looked like? What their specialties were? I would at least think that Ice-Pick an arctic trooper. I would love to attempt to do some customs on these guys if I can figure out more about them. What do you guys think?
And if any of you other customizers would take a shot at them I would love to see the results. It will be some time before I'm able to do anything. #82 was a great issue, completely off the wall. Like how Repeater, Lightfoot and Budo qualify, we go from a mititary boot camp scenario to suiting up for the base invasion with Budo immediately donning a Samurai outfit! |

I’m just guessing that ZeroDark was only kidding, but just in case he isn’t, the code name “Jodie” refers to a soldier who calls out the cadence while running or marching. Some soldiers stand out because they are extremely good at it, and I imagine this candidate was appreciated for having this talent.
To answer sbartek1974’s question, I would imagine that had Jodie made it to the team, his appearance would be wearing Boots and Utes, singing jody calls while running into combat fighting COBRA, (no more silly that Bazooka wearing a sports jersey on the battlefield). |

Well, Barty, you've gone and done it. This is my next project. I'll probably take some liberties and turn of these guys into a lady. First there was the Roughnecks, now we have the Rejects.
Time to get to brewing up some builds with what limited available parts I may have. Also, my limited research (wikipedia) suggests that Jody is both the call of the cadence, and the man in cadence with whom army wives cheat. So, not only are you both right, but the meanings are actually interconnected. Still makes for a poor codename.

Also, if you want to make Jody even weirder, you can choose him as the one to make female |

Well, I'm going to use Joe parts and give them actual uniforms/personas, not just fatigues. That would be too easy. But I am considering making Jodie the female already.
