Background
He was a Marine platoon leader who participated in a Battle of Earth against Covenant forces in a heavily wooded area. He and his men were forced to seek cover and lie low, listening as their foe searched for them. After seven hours of hiding, Tippett and his men were rescued by the Master Chief, John-117.

He was later interviewed in a documentary regarding his experiences that night.
