Saw this earlier and made me think
What would your Foxhound code name be?
Considering Metal Gear wiki says:
Codename system
A FOXHOUND codename originally comprised an animal codename and a personal prefix to distinguish between those with the same animal codename. Often this prefix represents either the individual's weapon of choice or particular skill that they specialize in, but sometimes these codenames are a bit more ambiguous in nature. The animal suffix some what denotes the characteristics of the agent. The "Fox" codename was awarded to operatives of rank or skill.
No need to read this but as a side note while on the wiki page.... theres a list of all the skills a Foxhound unit member needed to possess.... this is it... pretty daft....
Selection and drills When FOXHOUND was first established in 1970, the process of recruitment was not fully developed, due to the circumstances at the time. Potential recruits were usually abducted or rescued, and then convinced into joining the unit. After FOXHOUND was organized into an official unit, very strict selection procedures were adopted. Firstly, potential recruits were only chosen from those already within the military and various special forces.
Recruits must also pass exams in three different aspects:
Physical
Physical fitness test
Short-distance running
Uninterrupted performance of 80 push-ups
Uninterrupted performance of 100 sit-ups

Cross-country march (travelling 64 km [40 miles] in under 15 hours, carrying a 30 kg [67 pounds] backpack)

ESP expectancy score
Marksmanship
