Does Flint outrank Duke? The Sunbow cartoon refers to Flint as being "second in command". Does it mean second in command to Hawk? Or second in command to Duke?
As a kid I thought the Command Structure was something like: Hawk Duke Flint . . . . . Timber Junkyard Polly Grunt Please be kind. I never served in the military and the whole ranking thing seems a bit an anachronism to me. I never understood how some douchebag who completed four years of college could automatically outrank a combat veteran of 20 years. Perhaps the military is different now and more merit based. Please enlighten me! |

Rankwise, I think Flint does outrank Duke. But Duke has been put in a position of command by a high ranking General so he's higher in command than Flint.

It should be, with the characters you got.
Gen Hawk, CWO? Flint and then Duke.

Oh God no. You folks are opening a can of worms. Wait till the REAL ASS MILITARY Joefans (by which I do NOT mean actual Veterans) get in this thread.
My answer: G.I. Joe is not meant to be a documentary.

Lol, yes. We must be the four tankers who have nothing to do with the military. I'm sure this has been answered in other threads on several occasions, but someone will pop in here soon enough to set it straight once again. |

not sure how correct this is but it explains why we dont see or get flagg figures and how the carrier got its name....G.I. Joe Comics Home Page: General Flagg

Technically Flint does out rank Duke, Flint is a Warrant Officer and Duke is a First Sgt. And the 4 year college thing is still in effect. I have to listen to a bunch talk about becomming officers in the future, but im straight up enlisted and perfectly fine that way
