We discuss his career path, training, and the mission his is best known for in popular media. We discuss his role as Team Alpha leader of the CIA's team that entered Afghanistan following the events of 9\11 and what occurred on that mission. Additionally, we discuss JR's love of watches and the novels that he authors.
