Join our weekly Combat Check-In Newsletter (www.combatstory.com/newsletter) to get a short email from Ryan for people who love and support our veterans, service members, and their families. It has info on a significant event in military and/or intel history, a funny military joke, an update on a current event I'm following, something I'm doing that week in my life, a book I'm reading, a look at an upcoming interview, a reflection on a past episode and more.
Today we hear the second round of our Combat Story with Dan Pronk, a former Australian SAS officer and medical doctor who completed four tours to Afghanistan.
In round one we covered Dan’s first calling as a triathlete until he found himself in medical school, and, eventually, SAS selection. We also touched on some of his initial deployments.
In round two we move into the more difficult deployments Dan faced when things started getting darker, as they so often do.
We also discuss Dan’s newly released book - Resilience Shield - which takes SAS resilience lessons and applies them to everyday life to thrive, much as Dan has.
Dan went on to found a multi-million dollar company - TACMED - and has written two other books: Arterial Tourniquets and Average 70kg D**khead.
Dan is the most unassuming doctor you’ll ever find and I hope you enjoy this second round interview Down Under as much as I did.
