Alex wasn't really spec ops...she was an MP, stationed in Iraq (particularly the mountains that border with Iran).  She hasn't been used as black ops beyond maybe one or two forays out of the lab for analysis, but those were CIA jobs.  By and large, though, she spent about 5 years in a CIA lab and was just released to the FBI for further field study.<br/><br/>Also, I would say don't exclude vampires from the monster hunt.  Just one ^_^  She should start a vampire anti-defamation league...
