As a young man, Anthony Bongi had two choices: pursue acting and modeling in New York City or accept a last-minute opportunity to West Point. He chose West Point, and there he began a whirlwind military career that would see him booted from West Point, enlisted in Alaska, deployed as a member of the Air National Guard, and it only gets wilder from there.

Over a decade later, Anthony achieved his dream of being an infantry platoon leader in combat and, despite the twists and turns, he wouldn't have it any other way. From demerits at USMA to moose spotting in Alaska and from logistics in the Air Force to shopping malls in Poland - Anthony's career path was wild and unpredictable, but he never forgot about his childhood passion.

After some time out of uniform, Anthony headed out to LaLa Land to pursue acting and modeling. He approaches each opportunity as a military operation, and the results can speak for themselves.

In the Free Fire Area, Dan's love for pecan pie remains unsullied, and Roger is second-guessing some recent dietary changes.

After a failed college experiment, David Mueller wasn't happy with where he was in life, so he decided to enlist. Knowing full well there were two wars going on, David wound up as an infantryman in the 3rd Ranger Battalion and never looked back.

For the next 20 years, David threw himself into the profession of arms, deployed to combat zones numerous times, and faced every challenge head-on. From blistering training and multiple setbacks at Ranger School to working as a dog handler and broadening horizons at Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), David's experiences are as vast as they are varied.

Plus, frustrated lieutenants, motivational speeches, Australian culture, blotter reports, and so much more!

In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger wish they could be kids again and enjoy the little things.
