Code Name:
Roadblock
Tiger Force Heavy Machine Gunner

File Name: Hinton, Marvin F. SN: 053-82-0347
Primary Military Speciality: Heavy Machine Gunner
Secondary Military Speciality: Cook
Birthplace: Biloxi, Mississippi Grade E-5

Roadblock's dream was to be a Gourmet chef. He was working as a bouncer to earn money to attend the Escoffier School in France when a recruiter convinced him that the Army could train him just as well. At boot camp, Roadblock found Army menus and preparation techniques too appalling! He remained steadfast in his goal to be a chef, but at the same time, developed a new skill-being a heavy machine gunner! He was selected by Tiger Force because of his ability to operate a heavy machine gun, in addition he could transform simple K-rations into gourmet delicacies.

"A .50 Cal. Browning weighs 84 pounds. Add fifty pounds for the ammo that's about 134 pounds of steel generating 2930 f.p.s. in muzzle velocity at a cyclic rate of 550 r.p.m. and you have one awesome macjine gun! Anybody who can handle that doesn't need a machine gun to keep me away!" H-1

Code Name: Big Bear File Name: Rostoff, Grigori Ivanovich
Oktober Guard Military Specialty: Air Assault
Anti-Armor Specialist Birthplace: Archangel, Russia SSR
Rank: Sergeant (Serzhant)

"You G.I. Joes! Airborne troops afraid to fall without parachutes! No guts!"

Big Bear grew up in a place where the conditions are cold, wet, and nasty - everyday! He can be meaner than a Siberian wolf with its leg caught in a steel trap and wilder than an Murmansk fur merchant. Transferred from the elite 103rd Guards Air Assault Division, Big Bear's main gripe about the Oktober Guard was the constant reference to it as the Soviet Union's counterpart of G.I. Joe! He would snap back stating, "G.I. Joes - OUR counterparts!" Big Bear enjoys rumbling into battle behind the wheels of the infamous G.I. Joe Attack Cruiser and Badger!

Excellent! Many thanks.

Anymore to do as I only had four in the end to post?

[The Baron]

There is, but I'm afraid I've lost track of what's already been assigned!

EDIT: OK, three more en route. Thank you.

Code Name:
Scoop
Combat Information Specialist

File Name: O'Leary, Michael SN: 887-1199-ML86
Primary Military Speciality: Journalist
Secondary Military Speciality: Microwave Transmission Specialist
Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland Grade E-4

It takes a special kind of guy to step out from behind cover during a firefight and keep his finger squeezing the trigger - of his videocam! With an advanced degree in journalism, as well as a masters degree in electrical engineering, Scoop could have had a secure future with a network field team. Instead, he opted for service on the G.I. Joe Team because he wanted to be on the spot when the news was being made, not reporting the aftermath!

"The other G.I. Joes were a bit put off by Scoop at first. They resented having a "third wheel" tagging along lugging 60 pounds of video equipment and not much firepower! They changed their minds after he carried a wounded comrade ten miles to an extremely hairy evacuation site for a medivac. All the while his camera captured the whole thing on tape! Now that's called doing your job above and beyond the call of duty." H-1

File Name:
LowLight
Night Fighter

File Name: MacBride, Cooper G. SN: 827-4850-CM37*
Primary Military Speciality: Infantry (11B)
Secondary Military Speciality: Sharp Shooter
Birthplace: Crosby, North Dakota Grade E-6 (Staff Sergeant)
Qualified Expert: M-16A2 5.56mm rifle, M-24 7.62 sniper rifle, M1911A1 .45 automatic pistol
Licensed to operate: Tracker, Avalanche, General

Totally proficient in the use and maintenance of all third generation image intensifiers (starlight scopes), infrared metascopes, and thermal imaging devices, LowLight takes complete command of the darkness! His passive night sights are augmented by seismic and magnetic intrusion detectors, giving him a clear indication of threats out to 600 meters, and all without revealing his own position!

"It could be a moonless night under triple canopy jungle, the very air so dark you can hold your hand in front of your face and not know how many fingers you have up. You close your eyes and open them again and there's no difference! Suddenly, you hear something or somebody moving out in the bush, creeping towards you, but you're not worried, because you know that Lowlight is out there too - and unlike whoever is sneaking up on you, Lowlight doesn't make mistakes!" *Lowlight's Security Number has been specially modified to prevent breaches in G.I. Joe security.

Code Name: Rock-Viper
Cobra Mountain Trooper

Encased in his non-slip, camo-traction suit and equipped with rocket-assisted, tungsten steel grappling hook and mega-tensile strength repelling rope, the Rock-Viper can scale any obstacle to deliver an obliterating barrage of firepower from his missile pack and automatic grenade launcher!

"On the day of their graduation from the training programme, candidate Rock-Vipers are dropped from helicopters onto the top of a 500 foot, sheer-sided mesa rock formation. They are outfitted with 250 feet of rope and informed that only 50% will graduate upon completion of this final test. It doesn't take long for them to figure out the only way they will get down the mesa is to slide down the rope and pray they land in a soft pile of dirt at the bottom!"
