I remember reading about how stores were selling out of the tactical wakizashi before the Battle of Fallujah because US Marines were buying them up. The bayonet might have fallen out of favor but nothing beats a short sword up close.

Yeah. Clutch, Steeler & Rock N Roll would be trying to pick up chicks (it was the '80s) and every time, the girls get scared off by the weird rubber-faced guy who doesn't talk and has a sword. The wolf, they loved! Even the goofy Eskimo who consumed his weight in Jell-O shots was accepted. But not Mr. Rubber Face.

Well I?m going to say that Scarlett and Lady Jaye are 29 for over because I know better than to guess a geared up woman?s age.
The rest of them we could get an idea from most file cards. Somebody should make an ongoing list.

She even surrendered her original purpose to him so he could be a ninja.

LJ sags too much to be in her 20s. Scarlett, however, is drawn rather buoyantly. Last edited by TheOverlordCorp; 03-03-2023 at 11:13 PM.. |

For the past 40 years Duke keeps having birthday parties the makes him one step closer to 40.
Between file cards and the original Marvel run you can guestimate their ages. Some mention historical events. It tells you their grades. You can research online the average years of service it takes to reach them. File cards also tells you if they've got college degrees. I'm sure LJ is in her thirties, in Sunbow I think the reason she is with Flint is because they're older, Duke/Scarlett were the kids of the unit, she's 25 or so while in my mind he is like 31. |

I think LJ is presented as older in the comics, too. Maybe not at her first introduction, but she seems to progress/age more than Scarlett or Cover Girl. Even the Baroness seems to look younger each year.

Baroness just gets plastic surgery every year.
Eventually she'll look like Joan Rivers |

Assuming you're 18 when you join, and the average time it takes to be promoted:
Private (E-2) - 18 (join + 6 months) Private First Class (E-3) - 19 - (join + 1 year) Specialist/Corporal (E-4) - 20 (join + 18 months) Sergeant (E-5) - 22 (join + 4.2 years) Staff Sergeant (E-6) - 27 (join + 8.5 years) Sergeant First Class (E-7) - 32 (join + 13.6 years) Master Sergeant/First Sergeant (E-8) - 35 - (join + 17 years) Sergeant Major (E-9) - 39 - (join + 20.8 years) Or if you're talking officer, start at say age 23, (graduated college at 21), and then add: O-2 (Lt): 25 (join + 18 months) O-3 (Capt): 27 (join + 4 years) O-4 (Major): 33 (join + 10 years) O-5 (Lt.Col): 39 (join + 16 years) O-6 (Col): 45 (join + 22 years) Anything at or above O-7 is competitive, so there's no average age/time available. The mandatory retirement age for all general officers is 62 (this can be deferred to age 64 in some cases, or indefinitely in the case of G.I. Joe). Under the law (10 USC, Sec 635), an officer who has been promoted to O-7, but is not on the recommended list to O-8, must retire five years after promotion to O-7, or 30 years of active duty service, whichever is later. An O-8 must retire five years after being promoted to O-8, or 35 years of service, whichever is greater (10 USC, Sec 636). The Secretary of the Service Concerned (ie, Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Air Force) or the President of the United States, can defer the above mandatory retirements, up until the time that the officer reaches the age of 62 (10 USC, Sec 637). |
