Retired Special Forces Green Beret and true American Hero, Mark “Oz” Geist joins ROTM to talk hunting and how the lessons learned early from hunting helped him become the elite soldier he grew to be. Oz discusses his role in the true-life story, “13 Hours In Benghazi” which is both a bestselling book and Oscar nominated motion picture.
Mark “Oz” Geist is a true American hero who served his country as a Special Forces Green Beret along with various other positions in the civilian world. He has been a small-town police officer specializing in crimes against children, a volunteer firefighter, a bounty hunter and as a private contractor assigned to provide protection for high security people and places.
Oz takes our audience through the process which took him from a small town in Texas to a battleground in Benghazi, Libya. From a chance meeting with a military recruiter in high school to a frantic fight for his life, Oz explains he has always had a drive to serve and be a part of something bigger than himself.
Oz walks us through the days and hours that led up to the infamous attack on a US compound in Benghazi where the US Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff were being targeted by a heavily armed and coordinated effort militia group on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attack. He recalls how the earliest lessons he learned from childhood hunting with his grandfathers helped him be prepared for the battle that ensued.
