DUSTY loves the desert. It is clean, pure, unforgiving and always full of challenges. Dusty was working as a refrigerator repairman and studying desert ecology at night when his pro enlistment application for the G.I. Joe® Team was approved. He took Basic at Fort Bliss in Texas and loved every minute of it. When Tiger Force was in need of a desert combat specialist, Dusty wasted no time in signing up for it!
"It's not enough nowadays to have a rapid-reaction force able to respond instantaneously to explosive situations in far flung corners of the globe. That force must be capable of surviving in a diverse array of hostile environments to accomplish its objectives. If the Tiger Force team was confronted by a numerically superior Cobra battalion, Dusty would hop on the Tiger Paw and automatically take the point to spearhead the counterattack!"
