 REPEATER. The code name used by U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Jeffrey R. Therien, a veteran soldier from Cumberland, Rhode Island with over thirty years in the Army. He never rose above his current rank because he was best out in the field. After making it through the G.I. Joe team's grueling training program, Repeater's first mission was a "final exam" when he and a group of Joes stopped an Iron Grenadier raid on the Picatinny Weapons Arsenal. He was later one of a group of Joe that met the original G.I. Joe while defending a government laser facility in Manhattan. He served on many more missions for the team including a rescue mission to retrieve a group of Joes stranded in Southeast Asia, and the defense of the Pit when Cobra invaded the Joe headquarters. Repeater continued to serve on the team until it was shut down in 1994. Several years later, Pathfinder joined the reinstated Joe team in its battle against the forces of a revived Serpentor on Cobra Island.
