Ep. 130 Earl Plumlee current Master Sergeant US Army Green Beret - Medal of Honor Reciepient

On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with U.S. Army Special Operations Medal of Honor Recipient Master Sgt. Earl Plumlee.

Master Sgt. Earl Plumlee always wanted to be in the military. Influenced by Hollywood and his father’s service in Vietnam, Plumlee joined the Oklahoma National Guard while still in high school. With the help of a local sheriff, he joined the Marines after high school in the years before 9/11. Deployed to Okinawa, Plumlee spent the months after 9/11 longing to get into the action but missing his opportunities. Completing training as a reconnaissance Marine, Plumlee eventually deployed to Iraq with 4th Force Reconnaissance Company in 2005 and again in 2008.

On August 20, 2013 during a change of command ceremony on FOB Ghazni, Green Beret Earl Plumlee found himself facing a complex attack by a determined enemy force that had breached the perimeter and was approaching fast. Armed with his "super cool sniper rifle" and a side arm, MSG (then SFC) Plumlee took the fight to the enemy and miraculously survived nearly unscathed. This is the story of how MSG Plumlee and a handful of SOF warriors pushed back a devastating attack and the events that lead to MSG Plumlee being awarded the Medal of Honor.
