Counter-Intelligence Marine (MOS 0211) Craig Grossi details his deployment with 1st Recon, Charlie Company, in the lethal Sangin region of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He opens up about the constant combat and the life-changing encounter with Fred, the seemingly unflappable stray dog who followed him on patrols, survived combat, and ultimately made it all the way to America.

Chad and Craig unpack war, trauma, stubborn positivity, and the healing power of connection in one of the most moving conversations ever recorded on The Resilient Show.
