Always appreciate the deep dives! My G.I. Joe head canon has each Joe complete SF courses and selection regardless of parent branch or unit. I understand it's one of the longest pipelines. (I read that longer Spec Ops pipelines are for more specialized Air Force Combat Controllers and Pararescuemen.) "To Free the Oppressed"

After going through all these file cards, you may be on to something. These Joes are indeed the best of the best! Thank you for watching!

So, thought i would clarify the rank. Most officers are ROTC or West Point, they go into college at 18 and graduate a 2nd lieutenant (butter bar, gold bar, or 01) at the age of 22. Then depending on the promotion rate and needs of the army, they would make 02 in 18 months or 2 years later, normally 2 years. So, you can be a 02 or first lieutenant at 24 years old. Then there is OCS and direct commissions. You could get a battlefield commission to 01 at any age. I was commissioned at 21 years old because I went to OCS. I was an 02 (first lieutenant - silver bar) at 23 years old, and a captain (railroad tracks) at 25. It was 2 years time in service in those days (mid 70s).
Ref Falcon carrying a radio. Normally officers wouldn't carry a radio. But stuff happens. So, IMHO, it's not a horrible mistake to have him carrying a radio(especially if he as on a sf team, but in my unit, the b company, 2nd bn 503rd airborne (or the 1st inf div, or the 25th inf division), they didn't carry a radio. But they had to have someone close by that did carry one because they need it to call for fire, coordinate troop movement, and intelligence information, not to mention evacuation of wounded. hth
