SHIELD training
Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2009 3:04 am
If anyone here happens to be uber knowledgable about SHIELD, I has a few questions regarding their training.
1/ Does anyone know how long SHIELD members are trained for? Is anyone aware of any character that has been shown entering and later graduating SHIELD Academy? Has there been any references regarding how long a character had to train? I always figured that as an international government espionage agency, SHIELD may have had training periods similar to the CIA (believed to be slightly less than a year) or the FBI (a 15 week program).
I know that Hydra killed over 1500 graduates of SHIELD Central in Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. v2 #25 (July, 1991). Was there any reference in that issue of how long they trained for?
2/ Are there any minimum age or educational requirements to join SHIELD? Quasar was a college graduate and Mockingbird had a Ph.D., but Daisy Johnson was herself only a high school graduate and the age of 18. I know that to join the FBI you need to be at least a college grad and age 23, but I am not certain about the CIA.
