Delta Force Operator and Green Beret Dale Comstock - A Modern Day Spartan

The Alpha Human Podcast

Dr. Dale Comstock is an ex-Delta Force operator, Green Beret, and 82nd Airborne LRRP who spent 35 years combatting U.S. enemies abroad as a member of the Army Special Forces and as a mercenary working with America's allies targeting high-value terrorists, their leaders, and financiers. He has been decorated twice for Valor in combat and has been at the tip of the spear in every conflict where America's special forces have been deployed, from Grenada and the invasion of Panama (where he and his team raided Modelo Prison to rescue American Hostage Kurt Muse) through to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond. Dale has a Master's Degree in Business and a PhD in Alternative Medicine, holds black belts in Jiu-Jitsu, American Open Karate, and Extension Fighting, is a former professional boxer, MMA fighter, and competitive bodybuilder, and has been featured on the NBC TV series “Stars Earn Stripes” and Discovery Channel’s “One Man Army.” He is also the author of American Badass - The True Story of a Modern-Day Spartan. After joining the Army in 1981 and finding out that Ranger school slots were limited and that he wouldn't have a chance to get in at that time, Dale joined the 82nd Airborne, and after he and his platoon won the DIvision's ARTEP (field evaluation) they were selected out of 15,000 paratroopers to become the first Long Range Reconnaissance Platoon since Vietnam. While there, Dale had a chance encounter with a Delta Force Operator that would change the trajectory of his career forever, after a rare sighting of what was considered America's secret weapon, a member of the covert unit of warriors who were hand-selected as the best of the best, he was determined to find out if he had what it took to join the ranks of the military's elite special forces. Dale would not only go on to become a Tier One Operator as a member of "The Unit," he would also become a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, all while making time to fulfill the commitment he made to his parents year's earlier to get a college education by earning a Masters Degree in Business and a PhD in Alternative Medicine. As a relentless high-achiever, the words spoken to Dale by his Command Sgt. Major early upon completing the Delta Force Operator Training Course and being assigned to an assault team with the additional responsibility of becoming the team's breacher (which demanded subject matter expertise in ballistic, explosive and manual entry techniques), would reverberate at the core of his philosophy for years to com ... "Selection is a continuous process, and just because you are here today, doesn't mean you're guaranteed a job here tomorrow. If you don't put out 110% effort every day, then there is no place for you here. Immediately I rogered-up and vowed to meet everyone's expectations every day I was there" Today, Dale is living a lifestyle many only dream of, he's an entrepreneur living on the island paradise of Bali where he also runs a number of business ventures ... "I am one of 2% of the population, I have achieved everything I've ever set out to do. I am living the dream fulfilled what I've always imagined I want, I'm doing it, You know, how cool is that? And am I done? Hell no. Because you know what, you have to keep setting goals, and that bucket list. I keep doing that. And why do I keep adding to the bucket list? Because I'm like a shark, I stop swimming. I drown, so I got to keep moving." - LINKS: Dale Comstock - https://daleamericanbadass.wixsite.com/mysite Dale Comstock on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Dale.AmericanBadass.Comstock/ American Badass - The True Story of a Modern-Day Spartan - https://amzn.to/3jkgaCa
