Neat list, Tanksmasher.
Of the Vietnam vet Joes, you're just missing Payload, whose 1987 filecard states that he "flew F-4 Phantoms over Southeast Asia for three tours." |

Good list, Tanksmasher, but it may need some tweeking.
Marines - Confirmed Gung-Ho Leatherneck Mainframe Sgt. Slaughter Hollow-Point Sgt. Stone Marines - Probable/Possible Mirage Blast-Off Ice Storm Bullhorn Mace

I should probably add Beach to SF considering his Tiger Force card. |

Okay, so here’s a decent list (may not be all inclusive) of the Joes who are explicitly confirmed or closely confirmed via interpolation by the file cards as having severed or trained in Special Forces, Ranger School, the Marine Corps and/or Vietnam. You may add any I missed and/or your list of "probables" below.
Special Forces: Breaker (“Project Gamma” was run by Detach B57, Company E, 5th SFGA, 1st SF) Duke Flint Falcon Drop Zone (“Special Forces Advisor”) Joe Colton

I forget. What's our evidence for Sgt Stone being a Marine. There's nothing clear on his file card.

Tattoo on his arm in the movie, as I recall.

When he arrives on screen, he holds up his right arm. On his forearm is an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. It's the only piece of evidence to firmly establish which branch he's in. Fogger beat me to it. ;)

Why does he wear a beret? A real Marine wouldn't be caught dead wearing a beret.

Not wanting to throw a spanner in the works, but although LRRP was apparently coined for the Vietnam units, it was afaicr also used to denote units that would patrol behind enemy lines if the Cold War kicked off (and after the fact to WW2, Malaya, etc. units too).
I suppose that in the US (and indeed outside the US) it's more associated with Vietnam, but just a thought for any characters who don't seem to meet the age requirements to have served in Vietnam. |
