As for wiping their existence from the system to be completely anonymous, that makes a lot of sense. We sort of saw that play out with IDW series. It sort of has it's limitations based reality of any military unit. I am curious what most Delta guys have as their MOS or what unit they are listed as part of. I think if the Joes were like a 12-50 man unit, then something like that could easily work, but then it's all for fun so and whatever works your Joeverse is all up to you. My Joe unit is probably like 500 members and then there are probably another 2000 support people that I just imagine that are there or they have the right to just swoop in and use the available support in the Area of Operations(AO).
I suppose there are two camps of Joe Fan takes on ranks. Those who pay little attention to them and those who can obsess about them. I find myself in the latter camp, and almost all my commmand structures follow along a strict ranking system, since in the US military rank means almost everything. With Special Operations it means even more, but just for the fact that a seasoned 30 year old Green Beret E-7 Sgt First Class is far and away a much better soldier than an E-4 Dusty. First of all I imagine most E-4s are probably under 24 years old. While these days six years in the military can get you plenty of combat experience, one would probably hit E-6 if they were any good to join the Joes. So you will see alot of us bump up the ranks of some of out favorites, since Dusty should be an E-7 really, maybe an E-6 at least. I am always intrigued by how the SAS rank structures work and how well that works (I hope it's base on Merit) and what happens once a member leaves and goes back to regular Army. Also how do attached members from foreign militarys fit into a command structure of a host unit say in the case of Big Ben or Skymate?
As I understand it, when a soldier joins Delta, his records are rendered sensitive and are only accessible to those with the appropriate security clearance. To anyone else with lower or no need to know, those records would simply 'disappear' (They wouldn't be able to see them) or any enquiries would just be returned with a 'classified' or 'not available'. That's at least how it kind of works for any SASR or Commando personnel within the ADF data bases when I had briefly worked for Defence.
As for the SAS ranks, here's an excerpt from ex SAS Regimental Sergeant Major Peter Ratcliffe's Eye of the Storm about the subject
