He served his country for two years in the U.S. Army as a Captain and Chief of the Medical Branch of the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Brooklyn, New York. Following his Army service, he continued his maritime work as a ship surgeon in the U.S. Coast Guard.

In 1970, Dale returned to North Dakota and served as a general practitioner in McVille, N.D., for 20 years. In 1990, he relocated to Houston, Texas, where he continued to practice medicine for 12 more years before retiring in 2002.
