Daniel Corbett provides unique solutions to those with unique problems. An elite Navy SEAL operator, Daniel deployed to Iraq with SEAL Team 5 in the summer of 2005. Later, he joined DEVGRU at SEAL Team 6 in 2007, deploying to various classified locations around the world before shifting into instructing at NSWBTC. After that, he fell into private military contracting, where he would go on to make international news when he was thrown in jail in Belgrade, Serbia for eighteen months after tracking a terrorist financier.
Today, he continues to monitor international news, taking meetings with those who need unique solutions to unique problems, but there's more to Daniel's story than meets the eye. What's it like operating at the Tip of the Spear? How does somebody get into private contracting? And most importantly - what is life like when you're spending 18 months in a Serbian jail? Let's ask Daniel.

My 19yo son went shooting with some friends and Daniel was there. He said he was super super cool and helped my son shoot better long range. So Dan, if you’re reading this, you should know who I’m talking about-he brought out his M1 Garand that day-thanks for treating my son so well. He still talks about you and that day.

The way Daniel described the circumstances surrounding his departure from devgru speaks volumes... I'm convinced this dude possessed a fairly high degree of self-awareness, relatively low levels of destructive ego, and judging from the accolades and commendations he received from fellow SEALs throughout his career and leading right up to his departure from the command, I get the sense that he was truly an exceptional operator, and was in no way a disruptive or corrosive component of his squadron/team... And I think it goes without saying that so much of what happens at that unit (and within organizations of all sorts in general) is affected by politics and the interpersonal relationships between teammates, and definitely between leadership and the men they lead... I get the feeling, and he pretty much admits as much, that these politics can often overshadow what could otherwise be a truly exceptional operator's performance and career progression. At any rate, I'm glad he popped chocks the way he did -- You can tell he was comfortable with it, he had accomplished what he had set out to achieve, and there was no ego involved at that point -- he could simply move on to what felt like the right direction to head towards without any reservations or shame or whatever. From all available evidence, seems like a genuinely decent dude...

I don’t think so. People just have different styles of interviewing people. You have the ones that ask a few questions and let the guest speak. Then you have others that ask a bunch of questions. So naturally they’ll interrupt the guest more.

Am I the only one who thinks this whole story about him getting wrapped up in the Balkans is so shady and presume there's gotta be stuff he's leaving out, either the kid he was with that got arrested originally must have thrown him under the bus to possibly lessen his own sentence,wish Mike had asked him his opinion on that, idk the fact they just showed up accusing him of wanting to assassinate the president just doesn't seem rite. Obviously this is Serbia and shit works different so perhaps he just got hit with the perfect shitstorm that the gov then figured they'd run with otherwise my previous plan of wanting to visit as an American with prior service is completely out the window.

I'm from Serbia and I remember when this happened, it was in our news papers but not very much highlighted, which was strange to me. For sure he left out a lot of stuff because of nature of his work. Accusing people of assassinating Serbian president is something happening quite often here, we don't even read those news anymore :D

@BostonsF1nest 2 күн бұрын

Not necessarily. Chris Osman is a former SEAL, who’s been on this show and talked about when he did contracting work in Haiti they arrested him because they thought he was there to assassinate the president. It was all over CNN at the time. Happened in 2019. If you’ve ever been to those third world ish countries you’d understand the rule of law is very subjective. And could 100% see something like what he talked about happening without there being some dark ulterior motive he’s hiding.
