Subject was considered a low-level threat upon retiring from the GI Joe Unit. Standard surveillance found him working part-time as a football coach and physical trainer, busy but aimless. He kept in touch with several members of the unit, particularly Albert "Alpine" Pine and Hector "Shipwreck" Delgado, but all indications were that these were simply "war buddies" and not any sort of intent toward insurrection. Katzenbogen, through happenstance while visiting Los Angeles on a planned vacation, found himself in the midst of what was intended to be a covert abduction by members of the Alley Viper squad. The squad had been sent to pick up [REDACTED] for questioning. Somehow Katzenbogen was able to subdue the three-man squad - apparently primarily armed with an iron wok - before fleeing the scene and going to ground. He was last spotted on a stolen Navy vessel with Delgado and several other former Joes wanted for questioning.
"Everyone underestimates Bazooka. He talks soft and slow, because when you're that big, you know you're scary. The teddy bear thing is a defense mechanism. In his original assessment, Hawk said David is a 'fast thinker with the instincts of a natural survivor.' Does that sound like an idiot to you? I mean, yeah, his weapon of choice was last produced in the 1940s, but he likes what he likes, it doesn't make him stupid. Anyway. Have you seen the security footage of him taking down those Alley Vipers? It's pure comedy gold. Frying pan against Cobra helmet is like music to my ears. And Quick Kick says he's a natural and wants to train him with the nunchuks, but 'zook says he never intents to be that up close and personal again."
