I'm currently working on write-ups for the OG13 detailing their military training and experience up to selection for Special Counter-Terrorist Group DELTA (Code Name: G.I. Joe). The information I've been using is primarily taken from the characters' original file cards and stories from the Marvel ARAH comic series and trying to bolster them with real-life military terminology and historically accurate data. Now, I'm sure what I have so far is riddled with inaccuracies, and in instances where there is conflicting information I've used my own personal choices to implement small changes in the characters' backgrounds.
Snake Eyes is definitely proving the hardest so far (Scarlett isn't too far behind him), especially since a lot of his information is classified top secret. I did find these interesting articles detailing what his name and birthplace probably could be: • View topic - Snake Eyes' real name: a new theory • View topic - What do we know about Snake-Eyes? But reading the entry on Wikipedia about Snake Eyes, it states "he has undergone Drill Sergeant training, and is a former U.S. Army Special Forces Delta operator." I'm not the most conversant G.I. Joe scholar, but I don't ever recall seeing this information before, unless it is from another source outside of Hama's Marvel/DD/IDW continuity. It seems that Snake Eyes enlisted and almost went directly to Vietnam out of Basic and AIT. At some point after his (at least two) tours Southeast Asia he returns home to the tragedy of his family dying in a car accident. But when does he actually get out of the Army? Did he ever reenlist? I'm assuming he did for at least 2 more years to get some of the additional training his original file card states before he is discharged and joins the Arashikage clan. Any thoughts, evidence, ideas? Discuss.

Wikipedia should not be taken as set in stone. I honestly go by the Snake Eyes Declassified series for my info.

I think in the early run of ARAH it is stated that snake-Eyes got injured on his third tour issue 26 or so. Stalker states that he did 2 tours with Tommy and SE and he was considered the newbie.
I don't think he was a Drill Sergeant but it does state he is a Hand to hand combat instructor
