My guest for this week's podcast is Command Master Chief Bill Clark. CMC Clark served for four years in the Marine Corps and twenty years with the Navy. He enlisted in the Navy after the September 11th attacks as a Master At Arms to become a Dog Handler. The Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) recruited him. He was among the first group of trainers at the command.
Over the next 20 years, CMC Clark would deploy 11 times into combat as a Dog Handler. DEVGRU is the Navy's Tier 1 Special Missions Unit.
