ROADBLOCK wanted to be a gourmet chef. He was working as a bouncer to earn money to attend the Escoffier School in France when an army recruiter convinced him that the army could train him to be a chef. ROADBLOCK joined but found army menus and preparation techniques too appaling. Transferred to the infantry. Qualified expert: M-2 Browning/50 cal; Heavy Machine Gun; all Warsaw Pact Heavy MGs; M-16; M-1911A1 Auto Pistol.

"A .50 cal. Browning weights 84 pounds. Add fifty pounds for the ammo - that's about 134 pounds of steel generating 2930 f.p.s. in muzzle velocity at cyclic rate of 550 r.p.m. Anybody who can handle that doesn't need a machine gun to keep me away!"

Roadblock is one of 5 figures in the 25th Anniversary (G.I.Joe Set) boxset.
