Here are some of my most recent appearances.
In this episdoe, my friend and former mentor John "Ranger" Dailey talks about his early days in the Marine Corps, failing the Recon indoc, Budapest at the end of the Cold War, being a founding member of Det-One and the birth of MARSOC. After retiring from the Marine Corps Ranger stayed with MARSOC to oversee the growth of the unit, specifically the Marine Raider Training Center (MRTC) where all aspiring MARSOC Marines begin their journey. Ranger also found a second calling in writing and discusses his new book, "Tough Rugged Bastards: A Memoir of Life in Marine Special Operations." You can follow Ranger on instagram @j.a.dailey and on LinkedIn at John Dailey
John Dailey is a former member of the experimental MARSOC Detachment 1 who was hand selected to create the Marine Raider sniper program. Prior to Det 1, John served with the 3rd Battalion 7th Marines Surveillance and Target Acquisition platoon and 1st Force Recon
Through tales of accountability and the mentorship that underpins elite military units, John provides us with a firsthand account of the resilience and adaptability required to succeed both in uniform and beyond it. His voice brings a raw and authentic perspective on guiding others using the principles refined through service, offering a masterclass in leadership that transcends the battlefield.
