I was looking at the back of the 25th red ninja file card and the primary specialty is vehicle driver and second is ninja. If the guy is a ninja shouldn't that be his primary then his secondary as a driver? The driver part is weird as well as a second specialty for a ninja. Anyone ever notice any other weird stuff like this?

You can blame the first Dice looking Red Ninja for that one:

Hey come on man.
Nothing wrong with ninja-ing on the side. Maybe vehicles is his passion and the shadow arts a personal hobby! |

Scarlett's SN changed. And, Shipwreck used to be called "Sailor" but then became "Navy SEAL" in later toy releases.

The one that always bothered me the most was Clutch's mega marine card. They retconned him to be a Indy 500 mechanic recruited by Duke. Clutch was here long before you came around dookie boy.

I have two sons in the military (Army and USAF). I asked them about "Primary" and "Secondary" MOS and they both kind of looked at me dumbfounded. Like my Army son, I asked him once if is Primary MOS was Infantry, but his Secondary MOS was Geo-Spatial Engineer, and he was like, "No, I'm not Infantry at all. I'm a 12 Yankee. I only have one MOS." Same thing with my USAF son. He may have went through all sorts of training in SERE school, Flight Engineer school, even some Helicopter Pilot training, and Weapons school, but his only MOS is Special Missions Aviator (Combat Search and Rescue. It's kind of like saying that Stalker's Secondary MOS is Interpreter, when in reality that's just part of his Special Forces training. I think Hama added the Secondary MOS because of the original small team. But, having said that one of the biggest inconsistencies, to me, has always been Doc's file card. The card lists Doc's Secondary MOS as Chaplain's Assistant and they give him the rank of an Officer. Doc's status as a non-combatant wouldn't work as a Chaplain's Assistant who's job is basically an armed bodyguard for chaplains. Jason |

The fact that there is a "Secondary MOS" is an inconsistency to a certain extent. Military personnel's training may involve several elements, but basically they only have One MOS (or "Ratings" I think is what the Navy calls theirs).

Jason I think the SEALs were in a similar situation before Special Operator became its own rating. Back then you had to pick from a list of approved source ratings and complete their A school before getting to try out for BUDS. SEAL promotions were based on tests related to the source rating; instead of SEAL knowledge. Now BUDS and SGT are basically SEAL A school.
