I really wish I could go back to 4-person teams. But that was so long ago. It's the Special Forces A-Team 6 person split-formation style for me. Since I like the CO/XO, OPS/AO&I, Weapons, Engineer, Radio, Medic setup. MARSOC & SWCC/SEAL Teams might be different slot setup, but for now 12 & 6/6.
Tho, on a SEAL Team, would Torpedo be a CWO or could we bump him up to his stand rank of "Lieutenant Torpedo"? Can SEALS be CWO? |

For a while, I had considered using the Luke Cage figure as "Snake Doctor/Jonas Blane" from the TV show, "The UNIT". I thought the figure looked a little like the TV character, when he shaved his head to go dark. Eventually, I passed on the idea of doing the guys from "The UNIT" because to be honest, I really didn't like about half the team. Anyway, the name "Snake Doctor" would be a perfect code name for Link Talbot. He's going to be the SEAL Team Medic, and he was trained as a VET... he really is a sort of snake doctor. So in homage to "The UNIT" I think I'll call Link Talbot "Snake Doctor". Thanks, Takedown. That was an awesome idea. What do y'all think of "Snake Doctor" as a code name for Link Talbot?

So I'll use 3 teams of 4 SEALs, Team One led by Lt. Trident Team Two led by CWO Torpedo Team Three led by CWO Wet-Down They all report directly to Commander Thomas Magnum. Thanks very much, guys. I think Marine Deadpool and I will have a blast with this one.

Marine Deadpool is overseas right now on deployment. He's been over there for several monthes, and he won't be back for a few more. We've been communicating because we've become good friends, but the projects are on hiatus until he's back stateside. We've been exchanging emails and making plans. He's eager to get started again. I'm eager to get started again. I won't work with anyone else. He's the best, and he's my friend. I can wait. On the plus side, it's given us time to get new parts from the POC line... the figures will be better than ever because of that.

Been offline a few days. The USMC Force Recon Companies had platoons of 18(three 6-man recon teams) with a headquarters section.

what numbers do Seals usually operate in? I always thought of them as 2-5 man teams, in out and done, low profile maximum effect. Just wondering because of the current Joes available I can only think of 5-6 potential Seals, max. Those ( and I could be wrong) Are NightFox, Lt. Torpedo, Wetsuit, Shipwreck,maybe Benchpress ( it says infantry but he just feels like a sailor) Any others? Deep six? another stretch because I think he's a Navy Diver.
High Tide (Copperhead). Edward T. Johnson was born in New York City. Growing up poor, he did not have the means for the nautical pursuits he craved, so he focused on working out in the gym, developing his body into a near-perfect physique until he could join the Navy. After becoming a gunner's mate and joining the Navy SEALs, he was assigned to the team. He became known to General Rey for his brutal violence against the enemy and a sense of humor bordering on cruelty.

That's a good idea. Bench Press would make a great High Tide.

If you want to use Benchpress as a Navy SEAL, paint his shirt white. He can be High Tide, a SEAL with the Phoenix Guard that turned out to be Copperhead in disguise.

Any particular reason?

He's Navy, but not a SEaL.
I use Topside as part of my VBSS team.
