Ok, since greenshirts are fodder in the joeverse..What would you consider to be the lowest rank ( military ) to be considered not your average private..Do you have to atleast reach Sgt in regular military before becoming a greenshirt in the Joes. Any ideas would be helpful

Yeah wasn't Ambush like E-3 and he was the lowest ranking Joe file card wise anyway.

I believe that to be assigned to the G.I. Joe team on orders in any service capacity, even as a “Green shirt”, the service member would have to be a U.S. Army private first class (or equivalent), with no nationality or other legal complications which could restrict the security clearance (minimum required level of maybe Top Secret, because of the Pit, the Defiant, and other secrets).
Paygrade should never be the issue here. If everybody there is a Sergeant, than nobody is one, because there is nobody to train or mentor to. A new person can be brought into the G.I. Joe team if they meet the security clearance requirements. That is where I believe the focus should be (even though much to my chagrin, two teenage girls were given the tour of the Pit in a comic book story once). For further proof: What about PFC McMahon, the G.I. Joe Concealment Specialist (Codename: Ambush)? Is his paycheck enough to warrant a place for him on the G.I. Joe team?

Like Playful I assumed that clearance to serve with the team was one thing and internal ranking structure is separate. At least that's how I view it in my verse however inaccurate that may be real world.

I thought it was established that traditional rank doesn't apply to Joe team in terms of internal operation. I also reject the idea of greenshirts as members of Joe. Supplemental reinforcements or skilled laborers, but not full fledged members. An elite team shouldn't have canon fodder.
Also, please take this how it's intended, with all due respect to actual service members. I'm strictly speaking about a fictional children's cartoon. |

When I watched arah I never took them as part of the GI Joe team. Just reinforcements.
