One thing I noticed is this man doesn’t interrupt people, and lets them speak before interjecting. I’m assuming that’s from being in the military and it’s a great quality to have.
He also has his own podcast. He knows when to talk and when not to and how to keep a conversation going so he’s developed this skill with his own show. Look up his interviews with Mike Thornton or Rose Schindler (from Schindler’s List) to see his range. I don’t know if I could do intense 3 1/2 hour conversations without a break. For me it’s pretty inspiring to see their focus and mental discipline. I stopped making excuses for myself after listening to Jocko’s podcasts.
when you see a guy like Jocko, a hardened, war torn navy seal, choking up about the army soldiers and marines that helped him, you get a clear picture of the principles and convictions that these heroes hold. thank you for your service, it was invaluable and will never be forgotten.
It also really outs things into perspective. People are so quick to idolize the elite of the elite, but even though they contribute heavily at the end of the day, it is still the grunts and support guys who have to get out there and do the occupying, the building, the re-building, and unfortunately most of the dying. SF/SOF guys will tell you this all day long. The war doesn't get won without the occupying force.
Most of the time discomfort is due to harmful things you should stop doing. Like you are uncomfortable because blood flow to your extremities is impeded and if you don't move, they'd fall off eventually.
This man runs a supplement and energy drink company out of the small town in Maine I live in and hires a small army of locals that otherwise would have limited job opportunities. Absolute legend!
I literally had one of the toughest days in a long time. It quarantine, I’m broke, and I’m depressed. I decided to put something on that is motivational and I knew these two guys would bring my spirits up. What I didn’t expect was for all these comments to make me laugh so hysterical, that I would forget that I woke up hating life. Thank you for the smile you gave me!
I think Jocko is the leader in your head telling you to take absolute ownership of everything in your life and step up adversity, and David Goggins is the voice telling you to stop being a bitch and suck it up
Korpen Lmao strangely enough, did you know not everyone has the internal dialogue we refer to as the " voice " in our head? Strange to think about but I thought I should share, felt relevant lol.
Thanks Jocko... my dad was in the honor guard at the tomb... and the way I was raised we thank all of our soldiers with tears in my eyes... thank you sir... always wished I could have served... but medical issues stopped me... thanks again sir
Volunteer at a nonprofit that helps veterans. You will still be serving your country. I volunteered in a suicide hotline for vets for about 8 years. Just a thought.
Your dad was Honor Guard? Holy shit dude, that takes the best of the best, and a height requirement lol, I was too short, but I would've felt so much honor doing that.
I served with this man in ramadi. Let me tell you. His team was absolutely motivating supportive and devistaing at the same time. Was an absolute honor serving with him and his men!
I actually met Jocko one time . He was kind enough to let me have my hand back after shaking it . The whole encounter lasted 20 seconds , in which time I some how had grown a full beard .
I'm a 3rd degree black belt and was a teacher. One important lesson I've learned and taught to anyone I trained is to avoid fighting at all cost. You don't want yourself or anybody else to get hurt or worse. If you can, the 1st thing you do is talk it out. The 2nd thing you do is run. Last resort, you fight.
@@thegiftedone I wasn't training soldiers for the military. I was teaching 4-12 year olds how to defend themselves if they needed to. We weren't sending them to Ukraine. Even though that is what I taught to kids, you probably WOULD want me in a foxhole with you.
I was raised the opposite. Ten toes down and duke it out. Been ko’d twice and I knocked out over 10 guys this way. Running away leaves an opening. 3rd degree in what? I bet you anything I’d put you on your ass with my 8 years boxing training
Jocko , epitomizes the American hero, without seeking any recognition for himself, but rather for our troops. He’s a true leader in the sense that he is selfless and always focuses the benefits of his incredible accolades towards the military as a whole.
Ifuwantpeaceprepare4war !!!!!!! Facts. It’s always clowns sitting in their comfort zones using their freedom of speech on the internet that disrespect the war heroes. They have no idea what these savages are capable of until they fly planes in towers but then slowly start to forget. They spread a vicious and dangerous ideology that threatens anyone they will manage to reach in desperate attempts known as terror attacks. I think we keep dealing with them at the source.
@Scooters Videos I'm a hardcore right winger but I think wars are wrong as well. Its not our job to worry about other countries we should be worried about our own people that's who the Gov has responsibility to look out for. But these ppl are evil and some Iraqi ppl wanted our help.
Boom, this is the episode that literally started it all. Without Joe’s recommendation to start a podcast, who knows if Jocko would still have one of the greatest military podcasts on the face of the planet no exaggeration 👏 👏
Such a kind, honest, gentle warrior with a high IQ! Thank you for your service sir! May the universe give you and your loved ones a hug that surrounds you all!
I guess it was for the same reason his colleagues bring pen and notepad to his podcast: to annotate what the other person is saying while they say it so you don't forget and know what they are talking about without strawman-ing them. You listen, you wait your turn to speak and if it is the case, you write what you're listening. In the case of Rogan I don't think he used it lmao Rogan was kind of terrified of him at the time hahhahah
I appreciate Jocko more than when I 1st saw this now that my son is an American Soldier that has been overseas for 3 years. I just wish our guys had the kinds leadership that we had in those days.
1:06 tells the story of war. Jocko seems to be made of granite, he just has the look of the hardened commando....and he is. To see how he is momentarily transported back to the battlefield in Ramadi and recognized the extraordinary actions of our military people who weren't necessarily the highly trained spec op military fighters and how he called them amazing heroes put a lump in my throat and gave me chills. It makes so proud to be American and grateful for our military members.
I am so grateful to Jocko. I spent most of my adult life in the Marines, and I am so tired of hearing SpecOps guys talk down about Marines. Everyone loves to trash other units to make themselves feel special. Jocko is a warrior, he knows it, and he doesn’t feel the need to d*** measure.
@@vincealince_SRT, I think you're mis-reading what I'm saying. To answer your question, yes and no. I'm tired of the division. Between you and I, I HATED it even within the Marine Corps. Everyone's MOS is the best, and everyone else is an idiot. That irritated the $#!+ out of me when I was trying to get support for combat missions. Everyone had an axe to grind. It was worse between Services, and even worse between us and SPECOPS. It plagued me for 20 years. Jocko's sentiment, which I have heard many times, feels like a bridge over a deep void.
Eric_ Martindale got you, man I worked with Army, Navy and IA(what it’s worth)in Iraq and quite frankly, that shit was so far past us, all it was about the mission. Now back here at home in Garrison a different story, but I always took it as Unit pride. I’ll admit though refreshing feeling knowing hardened seals like Jocko recognized the fight in Marine Corps.
I was a Marine Machine Gunner. Just listening to Jocko makes me tense up. In combat you feel more alive than at any time in your life. During one operation I stayed awake for 4 days.
@@trulywilliams6968 I love people like you who feel the need to check people online. Let me play: how many combat deployments do you have as an infantryman?
@Skrooge Lantay We were constantly moving. One mission to another. Some of the troops managed a quick nap but I was a Squad Leader so anybody Corporal and above didnt get the chance to sleep....and by the 3rd day we had 40 Iraqi prisoners to care for too. Most of them were drafted Conscripts who did not support Saddam.
@@Lightnings and one day an even worse monster will show up and you will be SO happy that men like Jocko put themselves through shit like this so YOU don't have to, if your neighbor wasn't basically guaranteed to get caught and go to prison for murdering you odds are he would. Humans are vile creatures by nature and do what is best for themselves.
b0zay That’s right! Jocko is the type of man that can scare you worse by simple saying I forgive you, instead of yelling at you for interrupting... it would give you the chills
Did you guys see how pissed Joe got when Neal Dygraus Tyson cut him off about 30 times in 45 min and dude never even noticed, Joe was turning red and making eye contact with the camera and rolled his eyes twice!!!
You are not an American... so you wouldn't understand. That's ok, it's understandable, but try not to be so jealous. Just think of your favorite sport and then pretend that you are on the the best team in the world, year over year. It's kind of like that kiddo.
Training to join the Australian Infantry reserves and it's the boots on the ground men like you that inspire me to fight for my country and answer the call to action. Thank you sincerely for your service.
Right on, Jocko. "there are some things in the world which do not have an academic solution." My father was a soldier and he always said: "In war you have to stand up and be counted. You cannot rely on, out smarting the enemy."
That's awesome! You can see in the way he talks in this podcast, and other interviews/videos that has him on, that he is a gentle and kind man. I hope I get to see him one day
I'm an Australian and I've met him twice when I was in the US (both by accident) every time I met him he was an absolute legend. Solid bloke, talks with kindness but will literally kill you if he feels a bad vibe. Mad respect! The man is a treasure to the western world!
Thank God a guy like this gets a calling to be a Navy Seal and not ANYTHING else. He is just cut from the cloth to be a commando. Much appreciation for dudes like this.
Mr.Studzdog I agree he’s genetically made for it, but the seals turned him into the man he is today: without guidance we never turn into the men lying under neath.
Quite the interesting thought that this was done in 2015. Obama last year. As soon as he left office... ISIS is absolutely gone in like a year. I forgot they even existed. I am posting this in 2020. Bone chilling how easy it was but how it was allowed for years.
Ramadi is where my ex husband was in 2003 for 18 months and he doesn't really talk about it other than to say it was nothing nice he is a marine or was and joined immediately after 9/11 like end of 2002 beginning of 2003 so he was there in the worst time possible dealing with ptsd now 17/18 years later... Thank you for your service Jocko and to the rest of the veterans out there 🇺🇸
Not "was", is*..... Once a Marine, always a Marine... I am beyond grateful for his service. Personally I dont think I could do it after having become a father back in 2017. Just thinking about leaving my son, potentially never coming back and the pain of not being there to raise him gets my head all f'd up. His mom and I have been separated for 2 years but this kid will always be my rock and I his. To be able to push that kinda shit deep down, man the fk up and put patriotic duty above all else? I dont think I could stomach it nowadays. Therefore, I hold those Men and Women who do in the highest regard. 18-27 year old me, who was just enjoying dating around and having fun, that guy had an iron heart with no concern over fear of death and a carelessness that I didn't notice at the time. The day my son was born, something somewhere inside me began to change. Sounds cliche but it's the gods honest truth. Maybe it wasn't so much a flip of a switch (as some people tend to say) but more likely gradually over that first initial bonding period. Whatever the internal rewiring that occurred, it changed me. It softened me up something serious. People say that shit but you dont know till you know. Anyways I'm not sure why I felt the need to type all this cause I'm definitely getting off topic but I'm too deep to be hitting backspace now so I'm leaving it. Lol Please tell your husband I thank him for his service. Despite the current admins blunder the changes that were made during the struggle were not made in vain in the eyes of those liberated. That was clear to be seen in the videos of the exfil. This also goes for anyone else who has selflessly served our Country though. Thank you for your service.
This exact podcast saved my life. I had just relapsed and overdosed on heroin a week before this came out. I still watch Jocko's "good" video at least 5 times a week.
men with ven Jocko would be proud of you. Keep fighting the hard fight, fight tooth and nail. The simple fact that you cherish a man like Jocko means you have the strength to ditch the needle once and for all. Good luck brother.
As of this podcast, I am currently 75 years old. I served in Viet Nam as an Army Ranger from 1968-1971, as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate), with the 74th LRPS and 75th Rangers. I have also served as a Senior Consultant on 4 separate occassions in Basra and Erbil, Iraq. I served in the Tiger Mountains in Viet Nam with fighting being face-to-face or within a grenade toss from the opposing forces. I don't refer to them as my enemy as they had their job to do as I had mine. Although it has been more than 50 years since I fought in The Republic of Viet Nam, sights, sounds, smells and memories remain with me as a reminder of the young man I was and the role I undertook to keep my team members alive and hopefully return home to a better life. I too, believe that that time of my life was the best time of my life. Senses were maximized. To end a fire fight with everyone on my team alive and unscaved was a time for thanks to the Creator, return to the rear for re-supply and preparedness for another mission. There is nothing to compare to the high of living after a fire fight and impossible to explain to the majority of people who have never and will never experience the madness, chaos and wonder of being alive after a battle. Cheers,
Thank you for your service. In this day and age, I find it tacky but yet simultaneously necessary to ask somebody who actually knows, why were we in Vietnam.
My life has been what it is... 23.8 yrs USMC... 4 combat tours 3 support tours teaching jordanians, africans and Iraqis and Australians trying to win hearts and minds... your boys kept us alive... I thank u brother... Jocko is a true american hero and leader of men...
2022. Time for my yearly revisit of these older podcasts. Still so applicable. Also, I absolutely love listening to the start of Jocko becoming a podcast host. Have a great day everyone.
@2:24 and 30ish seconds Mr. Jocko takes the conversation to another level: Accountability in leadership! Thank you sir! Hearing this brought a tear to my eye.
@@GeloNegron the actual evidence proves in the only real fights lee had , he got beat beat ...qhy do u think u hardly ever see bullshit moves like his in mma? He had great ideas and theories, ahead of his time bit he was not a fighter
That's pretty disrespectful. Many thousands of men died and Many thousands of women and children of soldiers suffered. I don't think you did that on purpose, but that's a comment worthy of an edit.
They’re still out there they’re probably not making tick-tocks and stuff so we don’t see them as much as we see all the clowns on social media these days. And we used to celebrate men like this but now because of weak scared feminist men have to hide their masculinity. But there’s plenty of exceptional men like Jocko still around today.
Joe Rogan is 100% correct when it comes to his 9/11 comment. For a whole generation of kids 9/11 mine as well be how Vietnam, Korea or WW2 was to many, just another event to remember in history class. I was born in 1993 which made me 8 when it happened and I still don’t remember everything.
I literally came back to this episode just to find that clip, thank you. And that was just unbelievable how much you felt his heartache through his reverence for his fellow soldiers.
Retired 2nd Battalion 4th Marines here fought in 06 in Ramadi, never met Jocko but heard about him, Kyle and Monsoor even before they were famous. Lots of memories racing through my mind with this interview . Very true, we helped liberate this city and they were fucked before we got there. However it sucks to see what is going on there several years after . I’m a business owner now but still miss all this shit as horrible as it was at times lol.
I served in the U.S. Navy for four years. I did my time and was discharged honorably. I still keep in touch and get together with the guys who I served with in Santa Barbara every year on July 4th. Wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
SticksPlays no he’s not. Master chief is extremely reserved and doesn’t speak out unless it’s needed. Their values and mentality are probably similar tho
Apparently he breached the compound in full combat gear and armed to the teeth... I heard that her clothes were "neutralized" and she "complied" instantly.
@@jh2332 Also, word on the street is that his girlfriend's dad was really nervous when she said that she wanted to marry Jocko... he wasn't sure Jocko would like him enough to give him the approval to be his father-in-law... 😔

It's a form of comprehension. Something we lack in today's society.
He also rarely says ah or um. Talks very decisively.
He’s humble and he actually knows the importance of listening instead of most narrow minded idiots of today

Heard a quote today that Jocko reminds me of. "People don't realize the amount of violence it takes to become this gentle."
When Jocko gets pulled over by the Police, he let's them off with a warning.
Jajajajaja yes!!!
:You've been warned." Emphasis on the period.

To see how he is momentarily transported back to the battlefield in Ramadi and recognized the extraordinary actions of our military people who weren't necessarily the highly trained spec op military fighters and how he called them amazing heroes put a lump in my throat and gave me chills. It makes so proud to be American and grateful for our military members.
I am so grateful to Jocko. I spent most of my adult life in the Marines, and I am so tired of hearing SpecOps guys talk down about Marines. Everyone loves to trash other units to make themselves feel special. Jocko is a warrior, he knows it, and he doesn’t feel the need to d*** measure.
Do you really care what SpecOps guys say about us?
@@vincealince_SRT, I think you're mis-reading what I'm saying. To answer your question, yes and no. I'm tired of the division. Between you and I, I HATED it even within the Marine Corps. Everyone's MOS is the best, and everyone else is an idiot. That irritated the $#!+ out of me when I was trying to get support for combat missions. Everyone had an axe to grind. It was worse between Services, and even worse between us and SPECOPS. It plagued me for 20 years. Jocko's sentiment, which I have heard many times, feels like a bridge over a deep void.
Eric_ Martindale got you, man I worked with Army, Navy and IA(what it’s worth)in Iraq and quite frankly, that shit was so far past us, all it was about the mission. Now back here at home in Garrison a different story, but I always took it as Unit pride. I’ll admit though refreshing feeling knowing hardened seals like Jocko recognized the fight in Marine Corps.
Thank you for your service sir.
Sho Shayda, great contribution to this conversation. Thank you for absolutely nothing.
I was a Marine Machine Gunner. Just listening to Jocko makes me tense up. In combat you feel more alive than at any time in your life. During one operation I stayed awake for 4 days.
Frankie Fernandez 0331 bruh checkin in- gunz up

11B1P. I was on the gun too. Definitely had those times. 3 or 4 days and you're not tired til you stop moving, then you're out
@@trulywilliams6968 I love people like you who feel the need to check people online. Let me play: how many combat deployments do you have as an infantryman?
@Skrooge Lantay We were constantly moving. One mission to another. Some of the troops managed a quick nap but I was a Squad Leader so anybody Corporal and above didnt get the chance to sleep....and by the 3rd day we had 40 Iraqi prisoners to care for too. Most of them were drafted Conscripts who did not support Saddam.
As you scroll down this comment section, the Jocko jokes get more and more extreme
Marty Coleman yes they do! 🤣
getting better every pixel scrolled LMAO
Thanks for the heads up lol
I am dying laughing, scrolling down. He’s the new Chuck Norris.
They’re like chuck Norris facts and it’s great lol
This is what i expect Jack Reacher would look like, laid back and humble but bad ass in combat and fighting
Thank god they made humans like this who will go into the darkness for you!
Exactly
Made? He turned himself into a strong monster.
@@Lightnings and one day an even worse monster will show up and you will be SO happy that men like Jocko put themselves through shit like this so YOU don't have to, if your neighbor wasn't basically guaranteed to get caught and go to prison for murdering you odds are he would. Humans are vile creatures by nature and do what is best for themselves.
@@aaronraney3685 what are you even talking about lol
Yes
When Jocko's phone rings in the theater, they pause the movie
That’s a good one
Underrated
Well done!
joko's tears cure cancer........... too bad he doesnt cry
How long did you think of a hilarious joke to make. You got it.
1st time joe Rogan didn’t cut off a guest mid sentence, smart man.
Vick Dog shit I wouldn’t either!!!!
joe was on his best behaviour here, he knows damn well what kind of a man Jocko is
b0zay That’s right! Jocko is the type of man that can scare you worse by simple saying I forgive you, instead of yelling at you for interrupting... it would give you the chills
Did you guys see how pissed Joe got when Neal Dygraus Tyson cut him off about 30 times in 45 min and dude never even noticed, Joe was turning red and making eye contact with the camera and rolled his eyes twice!!!
It’s called respect?
When jocko and chuck Norris see eachother they simply nod and go on their way while the world stops for a moment In awe
Willink makes me proud to be an American.
You are not an American... so you wouldn't understand. That's ok, it's understandable, but try not to be so jealous. Just think of your favorite sport and then pretend that you are on the the best team in the world, year over year. It's kind of like that kiddo.
God bless America
Jocko makes me wish I was American.
Voting Trump right? USA USA USA
lol
Neither of you are Jock Willink, silly tribalism. The accomplishments of your fellow statesmen are not accomplishments of your own.
I was there... 10th mnt infantry. Thanks Jocko for recognizing all of us. It was hell but war is hell and we gave um hell.
NONE LEFT BEHIND!!!
We are coming for you
@@dannyg8032 🤣🤣 for your own health I advise against that
Training to join the Australian Infantry reserves and it's the boots on the ground men like you that inspire me to fight for my country and answer the call to action. Thank you sincerely for your service.
@@frankiethetiger5748 Go kick ass brother! America has your back. The non-shithead ones anyway.
Thank you for your service there brother.
Jocko is the kind of guy to slam a revolving door shut
This comment didn’t get the credit it deserved.
Agreed
Legendary comment
Great!
Thats chuck norris
Right on, Jocko. "there are some things in the world which do not have an academic solution." My father was a soldier and he always said: "In war you have to stand up and be counted. You cannot rely on, out smarting the enemy."
"I Have freedom BECAUSE I have discipline"... My favorite line from this podcast... this guy is inspirational.
Mike Brackman it makes so much sense
Plz tell the time stamp
I served with Jocko in 1994 on the USS Cleveland. I was a grunt with 1/4. He drank with us a few times on liberty, he is a great guy.
Thanks for your service!
God bless you soldiers! Thanks for freedom.
He doesn’t drink
Now* he doesn’t drink now
@@menudo2381 did you not hear him say in the interview him and the other seals would go out every Friday and drink? Lol
I’ve met Jocko.
He’s one of the kindest, most gentle men you’ll ever meet.
That's awesome! You can see in the way he talks in this podcast, and other interviews/videos that has him on, that he is a gentle and kind man. I hope I get to see him one day
I'm an Australian and I've met him twice when I was in the US (both by accident) every time I met him he was an absolute legend. Solid bloke, talks with kindness but will literally kill you if he feels a bad vibe. Mad respect! The man is a treasure to the western world!
Said no Iraqi ever
Jocko: "thanks you for the compliment in neck snap" 😂
@@unclereub4024 lmfaoo
Thank God a guy like this gets a calling to be a Navy Seal and not ANYTHING else. He is just cut from the cloth to be a commando. Much appreciation for dudes like this.
Mr.Studzdog I agree he’s genetically made for it, but the seals turned him into the man he is today: without guidance we never turn into the men lying under neath.
There are 3 types of people in this world..... wolves..... sheep.... and Jocko.
Yeah. If Jocko, for some reason, became a villain/bad guy we'd be fucked.
We need more people like him.
Mr.Studzdog Makes Rambo look like a pussy!!!!
"When I needed something and I spoke up, they gave it to me." No shit, I would too.

He looks like he wakes up his alarm clock.

Quite the interesting thought that this was done in 2015. Obama last year. As soon as he left office... ISIS is absolutely gone in like a year. I forgot they even existed. I am posting this in 2020. Bone chilling how easy it was but how it was allowed for years.

Ramadi is where my ex husband was in 2003 for 18 months and he doesn't really talk about it other than to say it was nothing nice he is a marine or was and joined immediately after 9/11 like end of 2002 beginning of 2003 so he was there in the worst time possible dealing with ptsd now 17/18 years later... Thank you for your service Jocko and to the rest of the veterans out there 🇺🇸
Not "was", is*.....
Once a Marine, always a Marine...
I am beyond grateful for his service.
Personally I dont think I could do it after having become a father back in 2017. Just thinking about leaving my son, potentially never coming back and the pain of not being there to raise him gets my head all f'd up. His mom and I have been separated for 2 years but this kid will always be my rock and I his.
To be able to push that kinda shit deep down, man the fk up and put patriotic duty above all else? I dont think I could stomach it nowadays. Therefore, I hold those Men and Women who do in the highest regard.
18-27 year old me, who was just enjoying dating around and having fun, that guy had an iron heart with no concern over fear of death and a carelessness that I didn't notice at the time. The day my son was born, something somewhere inside me began to change. Sounds cliche but it's the gods honest truth. Maybe it wasn't so much a flip of a switch (as some people tend to say) but more likely gradually over that first initial bonding period. Whatever the internal rewiring that occurred, it changed me. It softened me up something serious. People say that shit but you dont know till you know. Anyways I'm not sure why I felt the need to type all this cause I'm definitely getting off topic but I'm too deep to be hitting backspace now so I'm leaving it. Lol
Please tell your husband I thank him for his service. Despite the current admins blunder the changes that were made during the struggle were not made in vain in the eyes of those liberated. That was clear to be seen in the videos of the exfil. This also goes for anyone else who has selflessly served our Country though. Thank you for your service.

Jocko has three daughters... can you imagine being one of the guys they bring home to meet him?
Probably shit a brick or 2 after he gives me a lecture
His daughters probably don't date lol
Let’s just say the ones who stick around are either really really good for the girls and love them, or one horny motherf*ckers.
"Why is there a shaved gorilla in your kitchen, darling?"

Three

When Jocko says "there's no doubt about it" i know for a FACT there is no doubt about it
XD
I legit laughed 😂
Exactly. Jocko - Dan Crenshaw interview please, Joe.
Here in damn near 2025 to say how much i appreciate joe for recommending jocko to do podcasts, he is a true inspiration to us all.
One of the best Joe Rogan podcasts in hindsignt. Hands down.
Any recommendations as to what the other ones are?
jordan peterson
El Presidente David Goggins most inspirational person
Arian foster
All the ones with Randal Carlson and Graham Hancock
This exact podcast saved my life. I had just relapsed and overdosed on heroin a week before this came out. I still watch Jocko's "good" video at least 5 times a week.
men with ven Jocko would be proud of you. Keep fighting the hard fight, fight tooth and nail. The simple fact that you cherish a man like Jocko means you have the strength to ditch the needle once and for all. Good luck brother.
You watch his podcast? Good shit
Bad ass
Keep it up brother that’s the hardest fight anyone could come across mentally and physically
How's recovery going?......stay strong man it gets better!
As of this podcast, I am currently 75 years old. I served in Viet Nam as an Army Ranger from 1968-1971, as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate), with the 74th LRPS and 75th Rangers. I have also served as a Senior Consultant on 4 separate occassions in Basra and Erbil, Iraq. I served in the Tiger Mountains in Viet Nam with fighting being face-to-face or within a grenade toss from the opposing forces. I don't refer to them as my enemy as they had their job to do as I had mine. Although it has been more than 50 years since I fought in The Republic of Viet Nam, sights, sounds, smells and memories remain with me as a reminder of the young man I was and the role I undertook to keep my team members alive and hopefully return home to a better life. I too, believe that that time of my life was the best time of my life. Senses were maximized. To end a fire fight with everyone on my team alive and unscaved was a time for thanks to the Creator, return to the rear for re-supply and preparedness for another mission. There is nothing to compare to the high of living after a fire fight and impossible to explain to the majority of people who have never and will never experience the madness, chaos and wonder of being alive after a battle. Cheers,
🇺🇲🦅 Thanks for going thru that for us. I can only imagine the stories you have! I'd love to spend a day just listening! You're a true badass!!
Welcome home
Thank you for your service.
You sir are an American hero. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you for your service. In this day and age, I find it tacky but yet simultaneously necessary to ask somebody who actually knows, why were we in Vietnam.
Years later Jocko made his own podcast! One big loop man, happy to see it
Its symbolic of life
Thats why we must hang on in there at all times !
for real
Here after Jocko’s GQ combat scenes review. Headed to his podcast after this!
Same here.
yo what the fuck same
Haha same
Yeah something was just interesting about him
Ayeeeeeee Recommended Section like chaining our interest
Even six years later this is awesome. Jockos podcast is kicking and his career is flourishing.

@2:24 and 30ish seconds Mr. Jocko takes the conversation to another level: Accountability in leadership! Thank you sir! Hearing this brought a tear to my eye.
It wasn't the Big Bang, it was Jocko shaking hands with Chuck Norris.

Not many. Anymore.
They’re still out there they’re probably not making tick-tocks and stuff so we don’t see them as much as we see all the clowns on social media these days.

Joe Rogan is 100% correct when it comes to his 9/11 comment. For a whole generation of kids 9/11 mine as well be how Vietnam, Korea or WW2 was to many, just another event to remember in history class. I was born in 1993 which made me 8 when it happened and I still don’t remember everything.
Jocko told us that the humbling experience was seeing the teachers and bakers grind it out while they had family at home. What an incredible man.
