William Rhodes knew from a very early age he wanted to be a Marine. He entered the Corps as soon as he was old enough, and he quickly showed a gift for demolitions. Where anyone else would require a detailed blueprint of a structure to know where best to place a bomb, Rhodes knew instinctively where the weak points were. Be it a heavily fortified damn or a reinforced bunker, Rhodes could reduce it to rubble with a minimal amount of explosives. Hailing from Texas, Rhodes played as hard as he worked. He'd been demoted twice due to altercations with MPs while out on R&R.
