SFC John Wayne Joss III

Rifle

As a kid, SSG John Wayne Joss III was good with guns, which made him a natural as an Army infantryman. In 2007, a combat injury required a right lower leg amputation, but he didn’t let that slow his career. While attending the Warrior Leader Course at Fort Benning in 2011, he was approached about joining the Army shooting team. “I wasn’t sure what it’d be like, but I tried out… and it’s been great since,” Joss says. He earned a coveted slot in the US Army Marksmanship Unit in 2012, and has been racking up victories with that unit and WCAP ever since.
