Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at GI Joe episode 1 “The Cobra Strikes”, originally airing on September 12, 1983. I can’t remember as an 8 year old if I caught that first episode or not. One thing is for sure it didn’t take long for me to be excited to get out of school and take that hour bus ride home to watch Scooby Doo and GI Joe right after. I just rewatched episode 1 and right from the get go there…

Story by Staff Writer ‘Shaft’ Today we look at G.I. Joe Mutt whose PMS is “Dog Handler” and SMS is “Infantry”. Nowadays a military working dog handler in the US Army is handled by a soldier in the Military Police Branch, specifically the 31K Working Dog Handler MOS. So a modern take on Mutt is he enlisted into Infantry as an 11B before re-classing as a 31K. However during Hama’s time he may have been thinking of Mutt more as an Infantryman trained as a dog handler during the Vietnam…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I.Joe character that has been around since well a long time, Duke. Duke has always been a fan favorite and one of the most hated characters of all time. If you are a true Joe fan you have to love Duke to some degree, but it’s easy to see why you could hate this 6 foot 2 eyes of blue, blonde haired leader of the Joes. The original Duke in the cartoon was really good in my opinion. My…
