Filecard information:
Code Name: BACKBLAST
ANTI-AIRCRAFT SOLDIER
File Name: Menninger, Edward J.
SN: 900L-66-2311
Primary Military Specialty: Air Defense Artillery
Secondary Military Specialty: Signal Corps
Birthplace: New York, New York
Grade: E-5
"Whether it be a covert mission or a full-scale attack, there's no one tougher than G.I. Joe!"
BACKBLAST grew up next to one of the busiest airports in the world. Airplane lights would keep him awake at night and the descending jumbo-jets would shake his house with the force of an earthquake. When asked his job preference upon enlistment, he answered, "Where can I go to shoot airplanes out of the sky?" He went through basic training at Fort Benning and became the top obstacle course/endurance runner in his class. His athletic ability led him to compete in marathons across the globe. Today, if the Joes need a 60-mile recon patrol squad leader, or someone for an extended jungle combat tour, Backblast is their main man!
