Ace (Comic, 115)

GI JOE PILOT

Code Name: CAPT. ACE
FILE NAME: Armbruster, Brad J.
PRIMARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Pilot
SECONDARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Intelligence Operations
BIRTHPLACE: Providence, Rhode Island
GRADE: 0-3 (Captain, USAF)

CAPT. ACE would rather fly than do anything else. During high school, he worked after school and weekends to pay for flying lessons. He spent one year flying pipelines in Alaska and two years stunt flying for movies before enlisting in the USAF. He joined the GI JOEa team after serving in pilot combat training school as a senior instructor. He’s right at home in the cockpit of all types of planes and has an intuitive knack for getting the most out of them.

“CAPT. ACE has one major character flaw: cutthroat poker. A predilection for gambling would ordinarily disqualify an applicant for the GI JOE team, but in Armbruster’s case you can hardly call it gambling since he NEVER LOSES. That’s why we call him CAPT. ACE.”
