Randall talks about his deployment to Afghanistan with MARSOC, where the Taliban attempted to eliminate them by making it rain mortars. However, Randall and his team would make them pay for it.

It’s honestly surreal seeing this man on YouTube. I had him as my company 1stSgt and I remember him as this larger then life character while I was going through boot camp like “no way could there be a dude this cool” and he was just a total embodiment of what being a Marine truly means. His little quotes are something that have stuck with me longer then the names of my own drill instructors

He's the kind of Marine that will run into the nearest building with you to avoid colors and at the same time will push you out of the way to take a round for you! Would've loved to have served with him
