This is 31 bytes better:
set x to ""
repeat (random number from 8 to 10) times
set x to x & some item of "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
end repeat
Perhaps faster:
set x to {}
repeat (random number from 8 to 10) times
set end of x to some item of "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
end repeat
x as text --> "JUEQPJBH", "LFOBPXHJI", "TQRVYJPHFA"
