Filecard information:
Code Name: CAPT. GRID-IRON
HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT SPECIALIST
File Name: Lydon, Terrence
SN: 903-5221-YY07
Primary Military Specialty: Hand-To-Hand Combat Specialist
Secondary Military Specialty: Infantry
Birthplace: Evergreen Park, Illinois
Grade: 0-3
CAPT. GRID-IRON was quarterback of the West Point football team and graduated in the top ten of his class. It can be said in his favor that he passed up an appointment to the U.S. Army War College for a conventional infantry command at the company level. It was this determination to be "where the action is" that brought him to the attention of the G.I. Joe organization.
"The other G.I. Joes were a bit put off by this West Pointer when he first showed up, but he turned out to be bearable to the point that nobody tried to 'lose' him on his first mission. In fact, if he would only stop trying so hard to be likeable and put a halt to his John Wayne (classic Hollywood tough guy) imitation, they might let him play quarterback at the annual G.I. Joe Fish Fry Football Game!"
