Being related is a cool way to figure out the continuity. Father/Son seems like a big age gap for me. What about Uncle/Nephew?

I forgot about Declassified. That is the one Hama wrote too right? I mean just based on the original filecard, if Duke goes Green beret in 1969, that is the same year the Rangers are reformed. So he wouldn't have done both the same year. I can see him going back to a Ranger Unit later as an instructor where he meets Roadblock. Why Roadblock is only a Corporal when he comes to the Joes is another matter. But this is why my Roadblock is a Sgt First Class.

That would work..... named after his uncle and makes sense for him to have the same interest.... can also account for the blonde/brown hair difference.

This is pretty much how I do things. The Joes range from 24-40 or so. All in great shape. Hawk and Colton are older. But sometimes, I just like to pretend that it's 1986, and it's classic, Cold War Joe Missions.

Let's see.. in my Joeverse ROC Flash got repainted and became Barbecue. Desert Duke I'm using as Dusty, for now. Either RA Heavy Duty or RA Ripcord is going to become Stretcher. RA Scarlett is still Scarlett. Camoflage Scarlett is Mayday. I'm thinking that when I get Jungle Ripcord, he'll become an updated Stalker. And one of my Pit commandos became Wet Suit in ground combat gear, rather than dive gear.

Yeah everyone is stuck in the 24-39 mode. If I deem a character is "older" then he should have a more advanced rank as well. So I've promoted most of the original guys. So for instance Grunt is always like a younger guy to me so I picture him as a 29 yr old Staff Sgt.
Stalker is more at the upper end of the scale as my Sgt Major, with the rest of the Sgt Majors. I treat those guys like 35-39 years olds. I know some men retire at 50 as SGT majors, but I like to think the Joes are all extreme go getters and have shown exceptional skill at every step. So I sort of see it this way: E-4 = 24-26Yrs old E-5 = 25-27Yrs old E-6 = 26-29Yrs old E-7 = 28-32Yrs old E-8 = 30-34Yrs old E-9 = 35-40Yrs old This is a REALLY good system, Loose. Thanks for sharing this. This system makes a lot of sense and it works really, really well. I'm probably going to have to steal this one, buddy. ;)

Yeah, it allows for a little less of an age gap. That way Rock & Roll doesn't seem so much like an OLD man. ;)

Oliver,I just gave him the boonie hat, tac vest, and the SMG with the double clips and light-not sure what kind of weapon it is. Nothing real fancy, it just came to me one day as I was setting up my TTBP. I'm thinking I want to get another Shipwreck and customize him to resemble the Spy Troops Torpedo-love that figure.

I also repainted Sgt. Stone to resemble Zuludelta's version of Falcon. Pretty straightforward, just added Crosshair's belt. Falcon's always been a favorite of mine, and I wanted him to look more modern, not that tiger stripes aren't cool.
