At the start of SOCOM 2 you learn that Jester got his knackers shot off by his buddy. Jester is the same bloke in all 3 so far.
~Have you sent the "Don't shoot, we're pathetic" message yet?~
Either Kahuna and Boomer got killed or retired from the military, hence Specter being the main leader.

I thought it was implied in SOCOM II that Boomer got killed. One of the help boxes on your first mission mentions him. At least you have SOME sort of "story" in III, where it tells you their full names, ranks, and where they come from, etc.
Speaking of Specter and Jester, I'm pretty darn glad the original VAs were replaced. The new ones sound miles better. SpectRE's (original spelling) old voice sounded rather scratchy.
Quotes (mainly the amusing stuff)
(from the Nautical Salvage mission)
Jester: Bite me, creampuff. (in response to Flash's comments about Jester gtting creeped out by the ship yard)
(from the background chatter you hear when you look over mission details and such- In the Balance)
Jester: Let's see... The CHA is in trouble, and we have to save them. Sounds kinda familiar. Maybe these guys would be BETTER at war, if they didn't call themselves "peacekeepers".
Killjoy: I wonder what the weather report's like. I don't get a big fancy OCN like SOME people I know... (guess Specter's men have somethin' to say)
(from the Retribution mission)
Coldkill: (upon seeing the bathroom in the training camp) I don't get it. Where do they sit?
(when you attack a team member)
Jester: That's it, you've gotta die! (run for your life! ...or fight back!)
These guys are funny. xP

I admit that... I wonder who shot him. xP (On a side note, I was playing SOCOM a little while back, and after I shot Gryc (Brewed Chaos), one of my team mates shot me on accident when an enemy ran in my face. Morons... I got killed.) His voice was so low, it kinda seemed a bit drastic to replace the original VA with someone who had a voice that was almost completely different. But it works! The original VA for Jester didn't make him sound as... how to put this... as "cheerful" (is that a good term?) as he sounds in the more recent games.
I agree about the credit for the online gameplay, but it IS the heart of the SOCOM world... At least your team has SOME personality. It doesn't bore you while you do your job. :)
Ah, another favorit quote:
Killjoy: (Wake of The Fallen, BG chatter during the mission overview) Did we find this fool? I'm gonna name my next dog after him! (Or something like that. Kinda hard to hear with the helicopter noise.)

Yeah, I wonder what happened to Kahuna. I think it said Boomer was injured, not killed. It never mentioned Kahuna.
(In that one shipyard mission, Nautical Salvage?) Jester: (Runs into a pool of... brown gunk...) PLEASE tell me that was a candy bar.
[deleted]
Ah, well, then Kahuna gets a quiet retirement. Heh.
Yeah, it's Nautical Salvage. Brown gunk indeed. xD It IS a big puddle though... 0_0
Jester: We hit the JACKPOT! (after capturing Mahmood, during the Mission Completed screen. A bit challenging to hear over the helicopter noise...)

Jester is awsome. He's the best and always has somethin good to say.
"So uh is this safe? I don't really feel like gettin' cooked alive in a bunch of radioactive waste." - Jester
"Well it should we considering that the spill was likely a fabrication." - Some nuclear expert on the mission (callsign Flatfoot?)
"A fabrication, huh?" He then continues making remarks about it.
"Well it looks like our Embassy friends have been up to a few "extracurecular" activities!"

Jester is funny hence the callsign "Jester" but if you guys turn on the help text boxes for the first mission in SOCOM II one will pop up in the really beggining saying Boomer was injured during a training excercise because he did not stop moving when his commander turned around which supposively started friendly fire injuring him. May sound crazy but its what it said. As for Kahuna I don't know what happended to him probably died during the training excercise with Boomer in it??? Or Commanding a new team.
My English sucks and sorry for my very long post
in cobined assault you find boomer with his thraot sliced, but no sign of kahuna
Making peaceful revolution impossible only makes violent revolution inevible
ROFL, i love the things they say when you shoot them. In Combined Assault i shot Simple to Death and Killjoy screamed something along the lines of " I can't believe i look up to you!!" or something, i was laughing so hard.
shareBoomer got killed in SOCOM: Combined Assault. Shot down in a chopper by a launcher.
share My Theorys:
KAHUNA - Court Marshalled for shooting BOOMER.
BOOMER - Hospitialized after being shot by KAHUNA, later Transferred to VANDAL's Fireteam after healing as shown by his appearence in Combined Assault
WARDOG - Similiar to what happened with JESTER and SPECTER, when VANDAL was promoted, WARDOG went with him. He was then killed/injured and BOOMER Replaced him.
VANDAL - Promoted to head of his own fireteam, as shown by his appearence in Combined Assault.
