Senior Chief Dale was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota, joining the U.S. Navy in 1985.  After graduating from Navy Boot Camp in Orlando, Florida, then Seaman Recruit Dale attended Quartermaster “A” School also in Orlando.  QMSR Dale was then assigned to the USS CLEVELAND (LPD-7) homeported in San Diego, CA.  The CLEVELAND spent 1986 in the yards in Long Beach, California, 1988 as the Third Fleet flagship in Honolulu, Hawaii, and was involved with the cleanup efforts after the Tanker Exxon Valdeez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
 
QM2 Dale left the Navy in 1989, and came back in the military in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1991, serving first on the CGC ACUSHNET (WMEC-167) homeported in Eureka, California.  The significant event of this tour occurred when the ACUSHNET completed a heroin bust of the Sailing Vessel Malakula, which stopped 100 million dollars worth of heroin from reaching U.S. shores.  QM1 Dale’s next assignment was as a Command Center Controller at Group/Airsta Humboldt Bay, California, followed by serving at a Controller position at Group Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.  A long-term family emergency then forced the next move down the interstate to serve at a Controller position at Group Detroit, Michigan. 

The next assignment was served at Loran Station, Gillette, Wyoming.  This assignment lasted a year, after which QM1 Dale was assigned to CGC CAMPBELL (WMEC-909), homeported in New Bedford, Massachusetts.  The significant achievement of the CAMPBELL during this tour was a three month operation and patrol of the Baltic Sea and various countries throughout Scandinavia, Europe, and Africa.  After the tour on the CAMPBELL, QMC Dale was assigned to the Command Center Supervisor position at Group/Sector Detroit, Michigan.  During this tour, the Quartermaster Rate was discontinued and Senior Chief Dale cross-rated to Operations Specialist. After the end of the tour in Detroit, OSCS Dale was assigned the Command Center Supervisor position at Sector Guam. 

Senior Chief Dale’s next assignment was the Command Senior Chief for Coast Guard Sector Charleston, South Carolina.  During this tour, Senior Chief Dale became the first Coast Guard member to attend the Air Force First Sergeant Academy in Montgomery, AL.
