Filecard information:
Code Name: PATHFINDER
JUNGLE ASSAULT SPECIALIST
File Name: Iannotti, William V.
SN: 040-9812-JA41
Primary Military Specialty: Jungle Assault Specialist
Secondary Military Specialty: Forward Observer/Recon
Birthplace: Key West, Florida
Grade: E-6
By growing up in the alligator-infested swamplands of southern Florida, PATHFINDER quickly learned how to find his way around in order to stay alive! With his father's help, Pathfinder mastered the ways of jungle survival. He learned how to make trails where there were none, to detect unnatural jungle sounds, and to attack unsuspecting targets swiftly and quietly. When he was eighteen, Pathfinder enlisted in the Army and began a career as a jungle recon specialist. Almost immedi-ately, he became the Army's premiere jungle/rain forest tactical assault expert. Pathfinder was then ordered to serve as G.I. Joe's jungle assault specialist where he is now responsible for all covert operations involving attacks on Cobra Island.
"We could be chest-deep in a midnight swamp, with mosquitos in our ears, leeches in our boots, and Cobra™ NIGHT-VIPERS™ firing up our tails with tracers, but as long as Pathfinder has the point, we'll come out smelling like roses. He learned everything from his father, a decorated reconnaissance grunt from the Korean War. Like his father, he doesn't know the meaning of the word surrender. When Pathfinder leads a jungle patrol he doesn't stop until the job is successfully completed and all objectives have been accomplished. And I mean ALL objectives!"

Filecard information:
There are two versions of Pathfinder's 1990 filecard: one noted H-1 and another noted C-011.
Six of the main-line 1990 figures were not carried over to 1991. All six shared the 6136 assortment number, including: Bullhorn, (v1) Pathfinder (v1), Rampart (v1), Range-Vipers (v1), Stretcher (v1), and Undertow (v1).
It’s been reported that three of these 1990 figures were shipped on 1990 cardbacks alongside 1991 wave one figures on 1991 cardbacks. These three 1990 cardbacks have been found with C-011 noted on their filecards: Bullhorn (v1), Pathfinder (v1) and Range-Vipers (v1).
We are searching for C-011 filecards for the other three: Rampart (v1), Stretcher (v1) and Undertow (v1), but they may not exist.
