Dale Comstock: A Warrior's Journey from Battlefield to Business
What sets me apart from most other people is I call myself a two percenter. I'm like a pit bull man or a hobo on a ham sandwich, whatever you want to, however you want to, however you want to look at it, man.
Ever wondered what it takes to transition from a life of intense combat to running successful businesses? In this episode of 'Voices of Valor', host Allen Steele sits down with Dale Comstock, a man whose 37-year military career reads like an action-packed novel. From his early days as a Paratrooper to becoming a Green Beret and Delta Force Operator, Dale has faced some of the most dangerous situations imaginable.
He’s even worked as a mercenary for friendly foreign governments, targeting high-value terrorist commanders and financiers. But Dale's story doesn’t end on the battlefield. He has successfully transitioned into the business world, operating security companies in both Panama City Beach, Florida, and Bali, Indonesia. Dale’s experiences provide a fascinating look at the mental and physical challenges faced by elite soldiers and the discipline required to succeed in both military and civilian life.
He also shares his thoughts on the differences between the Army and Navy SEALs, and what it means to be a 'two percenter'—someone who embraces the hard work to achieve extraordinary results. If you’re interested in hearing about the resilience, discipline, and sheer determination it takes to excel in both war and peace, this episode is a must-listen.
