I was reading the Wikipedia page on Dusty and it says he's an Army Ranger. No cite, though.
Did he become a ranger in the comics or cartoons? Shipwreck was the only guy I was aware that made the jump to special forces/Navy SEAL. Anybody else join the special forces since ther original release? |

I did read where he wore a parachute infantry patch, but none of the file cards I've read (2-3) have mentioned a change from Desert Trooper / Infantry / Fridge & AC repair.

Maybe it's an assumption someone made based on his v3 (and Sideshow) tan beret?

There is a difference of serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment and graduating Ranger School. Maybe he graduated the school after joining the Joes.
Also recall the tan beret being associated with the Ranger Regiment was years after that figure was released in 1991. 2001 was when big Army went to the black beret and the Rangers switched to tan. My assumption was that Dusty's tan beret matched his tan outfit to be worn in the desert. Also want to note for the OP that "Special Forces" does not equal all "Special Operations Forces". US Army Special Operations Command has Special Forces, Rangers, PSYOP, Civil Affairs, 160th SOAR, and more.

I'm in that photo, somewhere towards the lower, center but never spent a day in the Regiment.

I like to think of him as national guard. Primarily because he has that outdated camo, that every well funded unit has abandoned years ago.

The GIJCC has their Tiger Force Beachhead and Mission Brazil Dial-Tone as Special Forces. Beachhead is listed as an 18B. Dial-Tone doesn't have an 18 series MOS, but it does say he is Special Forces in the filecard text.
