January 3, 2014 - Cpl. Charles Kristel is blunt and
authoritative but also respected. Kristel, a Schenectady,
N.Y., native was wounded during his previous deployment to
Afghanistan. A stocky, deep-voiced man of few words, many
unrepeatable in print, Kristel joined the military at the
age of 20.
After only three and a half years in
the Marine Corps, he's elevated himself to a position of
leadership through strength of will, demonstrated competence
and unbending character.
