Oh-Three-Series First Fire Team Collection Christopher Bast

The Marines of Charlie Company expected a relatively quiet deployment to Afghanistan. Instead, Combat Outpost Javelin finds itself weathering the storm of a Taliban offensive. The infantrymen must do what they do best: fight for their lives, and for each other. Christopher Bast is a combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps having served as an 0311 Rifleman and Scout for the 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion out of Camp Pendleton, California. He deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, then again in 2011-12. He would leave the Marine Corps in 2013 with an honorable discharge at the rank of Corporal.
