Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

I would have liked it better if they used teenagers.

Power Rangers should always be about teenagers with attitude.

They should have just used military personal. They could have been recruited fro. other branches.

They weren't just civilians. They each had select talents and expertise that made them the best candidates for the Lightspeed Powers. Remember Lightspeed was a Rescue Team.

Good point. The Rangers were highly trained professionals for the most part. Especially Carter and Dana.

Hexagon made sure Lightspeed picked the right civlians. Which is actually pretty common for the Ranger teams we have seen. Once they joined Lightspeed they were trained like military anyway.

This was very odd. And really is hard to explain. Other than plot convenience of course.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

They wanted Rangers that could not think outside of the box and not 100 percent from a military background.

Mitchell used his resources with Lightspeed to secretly train all five. They just didn't realize it.

Carter was a firefighter and was made for Lightspeed Red. Dana was a paramedic and was part of Lightspeed's Military anyway. Chad had a background with Water. Joel and Kelsey were a stretch. But Joel was a great pilot and Kelsey had the crazy instinct.
