Today i delve into the filecard of the G.I. Joe character Scarlett. She has “Intelligence” listed as her PMS and “Classified” as SMS. Her filecard also mentions “Counter Intelligence” so that helps define what MOS she would be in, which is a 35L Counter-Intelligence Special Agent.

If you go by Scarlett enlisting years ago then she probably would have started out…

Now he was oddly changed from a jungle/swamp soldier to a heavy fire specialist but the figure itself had potential. There are…
