G.I. Joe Crankcase is listed as “Motor Vehicle Driver” for his PMS and “Armor” as his SMS. So motor vehicle driver would most likely be a 88M Motor Vehicle Operator MOS in the US Army, basically a truck driver. Since it lists him as attending Transportation School that MOS would be the most logical within that branch. Armor could mean either a 19K M1 Armor Crewman or a 19D Cavalry Scout. Since Crankcase is driving a light attack vehicle I like to think he was a 19 Cavalry Scout, who…

I know anyone who grew up with early GI Joe and Cobra vehicles got to enjoy awesome vehicles. As time went on some vehicles well, got made a bit cheap. The Rat is one of these vehicles that had a great concept but just was not built right. So first off if you have never watched the commercial for…
