A “Recon Randy” is a tongue-in-cheek bit of military slang used to describe someone—usually not in a combat job—who acts like they’re high-speed special operations. It’s the person who’s always loaded down with tactical gear, talks up every new “military-grade” gadget, and treats common, everyday tasks like they require elite equipment.
It’s not usually meant to be cruel—more like playful ribbing between service members. Often, it’s other POGs joking about someone whose enthusiasm for tacticool gear is a little over the top or out of place for their actual job.

Okay Recon Randy. Your tacticool speed helmet is pretty fast to put on. We get it.
You see that Recon Randy over there? Why does he even have all that stuff? We won't be in the field for that long.
