In this episode you will hear:
• Marines are unique people. (7:53)
• I was only really good at climbing, and I was always climbing buildings. (12:52)
• I just happened to close a door and looked behind it, and what do I see? I see these twin 72 cubic inch scuba tanks. I grabbed ‘em and they were [made of] Styrofoam! (28:34)
• If I ever come up with something like Dementia, I hope I’m brave enough to identify it and go for a long swim. (35:21)
• In battle you learn one thing. [You need] water, and ammunition. (36:45)
• When you hit the water, you only got a matter of minutes, and if that parachute gets saturated, it’s an anchor. You’re going down. End of story. (38:26)
• If you never quit, you’ll never know how to. (39:37)
• [Marcus] The only reason I knew I could make it, it because I made it through hell week. (40:47)
• The reason they don’t give us - in my day - more psychological techniques, and even some physiological tricks - they wanna see who’s gonna do it on their own. (45:48)
• Free fall is difficult because there’s no gravity. (49:39)
• You still did one thing together - you get up in line and you examine each other’s equipment to make sure the guys are squared away and nothing bad’s gonna happen. (57:42)
• One of the reasons I was really driven to be a frog man was because they weren’t designed for any other purpose other than warfare. (60:59)
• There were so many cold war frogmen that were ready. There was no war but we were ready. (70:40)
• One of the first things I learned is that it wasn’t about muscle, it wasn’t about brawn - it was about the mind. (83:24)
• You can’t change the world. You have to learn how to navigate accordingly. (93:41)
• Where is there a war I can get in? Where can I stand up for somebody and fight but for a reason, for a purpose. (96:01)
• Life may be boring to me, but what makes life is being able to share it with someone special. (99:23)

My grandfather was in the Chosin Reservoir... He retired as a Gunnery Sergeant for the Corp .... Purple Heart recipient and 3 tours in Vietnam... One HELL of a Marine, but a even better grandpa... RIP John Frederick Schaffer🙏🙏🙏
My Dad (1918 - 1988) was a U.S. Marine in 'The Big One' in the South Pacific. SEMPER FI for my Dad.
R.I.P🦅🌎⚓. My dad is a Marine also!
Chris and I were on Fort Lauderdale SWAT to together for a few years…please bring him back to tell some of those stories… Chris was a great tactics and firearms instructor
Idk I'm like an hour in and I feel we're like an inch deep. If you read a lot of books or watch a lot of these video podcasts - I like it when they cut to the chase a bit. However I do know this guy is one of the old schools, where if I read and understand correctly, you kept what you did to yourself and the team MAYBE got recognition. I'm getting old, I used to hate responses exactly as I typed it. I was hoping for more fun and cool stories, we'll see. Edit: he did go gas pedal after the first about 65m for anyone else reading
Need more sessions with this gentleman! I hope you invite him back for a deeper dive.
In the mid 90s, I got a VHS tape from the Lottie group that had Chris Caracci teaching Tactical handcuffing and room clearing building clearing stairwell clearing and base level CQB. It was one of the best programs I had been to the time and his Tactical handcuffing course saved my ass 40 or 50 times. This was a really cool interview and I’m glad to see he’s still out there plugging away. I also had a shotgun video and a workout video they were over the top, but that dude is one solid guy, I trained with Denny Chalker and he too told some fun stories about Chris. Thank you TNQ for sharing this content.
I would do anything for one conversation with Marcus. I’m moving to Houston. I’m a single mom and he has no idea how much his story changed my life. Because of his story I was able to change my entire life and attitude around and I’m finally making me and my kids’ lives the dream we want it to be
Well he lied so....
Today at 1pm a flight of 80-90 year old Naval Special Warfare hero’s are returning to San Diego. There will be thousands of patriots there with American flags to welcome them home. Not just because they are hero’s but because they didn’t get the welcome home they deserved when they came home from Vietnam. Today we make it right.
I’ve had the pleasure of being on range with Mr. Caracci several times…..amazingly talented shooter and instructor! Hope all is well Chris! Tony
Step brothers ( Did We Just Become BEST Friends‼️)
What a cool episode. My brother and I grew up as kids watching his Navy Seal PT VHS's just trying to keep up for 15 minutes!
This was great to see, I've been following Caracci since 1993, so this was great to finally see and hear some stories and his history, I still hope to meet him one day.
You know whats great about this show, Nothing but real men on this show. Inspired by Jesus
More of this guy👍🏻 What an excellent storyteller and patriot.
Wedding Crashers? "Mom, the Meatloaf.. Fuck" hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
I want the Meatloaf now!! Lol
Great one!!
It was great to see you again and hear your stories. Had you and Master Chief as instructors at Gunsite way back in the day. You pulled your hamsting racing us back from the targets. Good times. Oh, and your frickin' pet wolf. Marcus didn't ask you about that.
I’ve had the pleasure of being on range with Mr. Caracci several times! He is an amazingly talented shooter and instructor! Hope all is well with you Chris….Shooter
Let me just say first I absolutely admire Marcus and look up to him in every way but I would like to hear what his opinion is on the news saying there was a pred drone over redwings and he got overwhelmed and ran and when gulag found him he had all of his mags still on him full
EXACTLY....IR PREDATOR FEED OF HIM RUNNING 🏃♂️...and the Green Berets saying he walked on the chopper with 180rds...Thing is if they hadn't of fucked Chapman as hard as they did it wouldn't have opened the Flood Gates
I wish Marcus could/would have shut up and have just let Caracci talk and tell his stories! Don't get me wrong I enjoy Marcus but how often do we get to hear a Frogman like Caracci!!
Sincerely.
Yeah. That's why I quit watching early on, but decided to suck it up for this guest.
Team Never Quit? There's a rumor that he quit.
My dad drove a tank through Germany barely 18 years old.
Chad Smith - Will Ferrell Drum Off!!!
If I were ever getting robbed. I would hope Marcus was with me. He would be sure to interrupt it
He would probably leave you for dead and then make up a story about being a hero
Chris’ mustache has more testosterone than I do. Glad for the boost just watching this, though.
"skipper". Report card said NS under plays well with others.
I almost took that long swim at southern Virginia Beach, Rudee Point, a few years ago under an October full moon.... I'm glad I didn't. Yeah, I'm an east coaster!
Old School Will Ferrel is the correct answer.
I would love to see Peter berg also direct a movie adaptation from Marcus’s second book “service”
The after math of operation red wings and of how Marcus came back with broken bones and a broken heart but a willingness to still go back out and fight.
Talladega Nights
Anchorman….!
Step brothers and talladega nights . But #1 elf
I wake up kissing excellence
*pissen
Hummm. So that's what all the other podcasters have been missing this whole time. A wife or girlfriend to interject and correct.
Does anyone know if Mr. Caracci still teaches classes and if so where? I love his story and I've been trying to find out more about him for a few years without success
Ok The best is when Will and Chad Smith from Red Hot Chilli Peppers get together for a Drum Off ( linked ) or More cowbell Also ruclips.net/video/EsWHyBOk2iQ/видео.htmlsi=5lzZbDJrt2FiDDQ5
