Green Beret Chronicles Founder Jay Dorleus | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 191

from Mike Drop · host Mike Ritland

Jay Dorleus has seen more than his fair share of explosive engagements. With 2 Iraq and 4 Afghanistan Deployments under his belt, he's served 14 years in country as a Green Beret, with his first 4 years served as a Combat Engineer specializing in demolitions - tracking IED's and disarming charges that would otherwise devastate forces on the ground. And devastate they did - to hear it from Jay, he's picked up parts of his squad mates (literally) on more than one occasion.  But violent beginnings often lead to violent ends, and for Jay, becoming a Green Beret wasn't just a matter of duty - it was a means to exact revenge on the very fighters that caused such devastation in the first place. So what's it like serving as a Green Beret in Afghanistan? How does a Combat Engineer make the leap to Special Forces? And how is Jay Dorleus still creating dynamic warriors through his company, The Green Beret Chronicles? Let's meet Jay.  ---------- Support Jay Dorleus -  Find Jay's Training, Resources, and More at https://www.greenberetchronicles.com/ Podcast - Beyond the Beret with Jay Dorleus - https://open.spotify.com/show/45o446jPR1BePrqELwrU0W?si=d0b2c38979924565&nd=1&dlsi=3aa40fcc50854c52 IG - https://www.instagram.com/green_beret_chronicles/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@GreenBeretChronicles Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/user?u=73014975&fan_landing=true&view_as=public ---------- Sponsors:  American Hartford Gold Visit https://www.americanhartfordgold.com or call 855-967-1413, that’s 855-967-1413, or text “DROP” to 6-5-5-3-2 for UP TO $15,000 of FREE SILVER! ---------- Beam Take advantage of Beam's biggest sale of the year and get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://www.shopbeam.com/MIKEDROP and use promo code MIKEDROP at checkout!   ---------- True Classic Tees Upgrade your wardrobe and get up to 25% OFF @trueclassic at https://www.trueclassic.com/MIKEDROP! #trueclassicpod #sponsored ---------- Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.pet ALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND: SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.pet Learn more about your ad choices.
