Bunkly is a USAF TACP who has spent his time at numerous ASOSs and shared instructor time and experiences with Trent and Brian at their respective schoolhouses. Bunkly is well known for being traveling to obscure locations to experience different cultures and at the same time, loves to beat people up. Makes no sense to me, but that's his jam.
