Life is a Special Operation
Are You Ready for It?
Lost a brother today, he served 6 years as a Parabat(South African paratrooper) and served 5 of them overseas fighting wars. He came home and became a cop, Special operations policing (he was a TRT operator). He was a big influence on my life, I always told him I would get my wings and beret, now I have even more reason to. Purpose is important when you run out of discipline, you've given me more Purpose now. Til Valhalla brother, you will be missed.
Sorry about our lost brother. Thanks for sharing.
How come u are that early
Sorry for your lose
What kind of war did South african army do overseas?
@@Blackmoon9u9 UN missions, but he was involved in the Battle of Bungui and Battle of Kibati, I definitely recommend reading up on those battles🤝🇿🇦
@@pyeitme508 this video has had a premiere date for a week so he just got on and commented
I have never been more grateful for my military training than I am today. It gave me life lessons that have brought me to this day with much success and personal commitment to excellence.
I never comment videos until now and I just wanted to thank you for what your doing with this channel. You don't rest on your laurels of SF, and even after retiring you still pour into people and I wanted for you to know that...I also love Hebrews 12:11 reference. It's one of my favorite scriptures. Keep doing what your doing.
My pleasure, Brandon. Thanks for the encouragement.
You are 100% right. The people who raised me were of an older generation and they were made of stone. The men and women walking around today are weak and incompetent. It drives me crazy. I have a bit of rule for myself. I will not hang out with people that are mentally or physically weak. I just can't do it, it's only going to drag me down. Thanks for all of you help.
Your Older Generation is mentally stronger? We’re talking about the same generation that was deeply emotionally troubled by the sexuality of others? The men who hates the idea of woman inspiring to earn high paying jobs? Gen X woman who take it upon themselves to emotionally explode and harass 17 year old-workers because they can’t get their Grand Frappuccino? Must I go on?
@@lightyagami8377 yes, exactly those. Because they were working and getting the job done and not whining about it like you are. I work with the useless over educated that think that they know better than everyone. They can't change a car tire and think that all the answers are online or at the end of phone. Everything that you enjoy was afforded to you by the generation that you're complaining about. That's what generation z does. Whine and complain and contribute nothing but their own brand of harassment intolerance. Life challenging. Get over it.
@@SocialistDistancing If you’re a Boomer, you’re primarily responsible for the downfall of American economics because none of you bothered saving for retirement.
@@lightyagami8377 Well the boomers were known as 'Me Generation' for a reason. They started the road to degeneracy. Greatest Generation were the best ones. Name fit the perfectly.
@@ayumalani5631 Boomers are pretty much the first generation of Americans directly impacted by Communism’s long march through the institutions and anti-American, anti-West globalist policy. Ramped up into high gear right after WWII.
Thank you so much for making this video, I needed guidance on discipline 😁😊
My pleasure
I was gifted three of your books, special operations mindset, special operations fitness, and elite performance skills I plan on reading the the elite performance skills after I finish special operations mindset and then reading special operations fitness in February and work out hard and continue on my path to enlist into the 18x program. Thank you for the wonderful content and books. God bless.
Great video!
Discipline - esp. self-discipline - is an essential component of resilience. And, everyone should aim to increase/improve one's resilience!
Love the video. I think this issue stems in part from modern society’s view of discipline as a condemnation and a “once and for all” judgement, when in fact it is intended to benefit and strengthen the individual being disciplined.
I am reminded of Thomas Ricks’ discussion of how, during WWII, officers were relieved with greater frequency than today. Since it wasn’t viewed as a one-shot “career-ender,” commanders were relieved for the betterment of both the unit and the outgoing CO.
I’m glad my wife overheard this. Turns out I’m not crazy after all. Thanks again sir! Merry Christmas y’all! 🇺🇸 Godspeed 🇺🇸
I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY AND SAY A BIG THANK YOU FOR MAKING EXCELLENT AND EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS.... GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU. I WILL SURELY PUT THE IDEA OF THE BENEFITS OF DISCIPLINE INTO MY DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES..... LIFE IS A SPECIAL OPERATION.
Can’t forget positive reinforcement as well. I notice the leaders who immediately correct an issue, yet still positively reinforce when applicable have the most respect and discipline from their teams.
Yes very true. I think positive reinforcement can actually be way more powerful than negative reinforcement.
Absolutely the most righteous video on youtube.
Another benefit of the removal "Dislike" option. People can speak freely and not worry about disapproval.
Absolutely agree with the points mentioned here.
Great content about true discipline! Share to someone who needs to see this.
This is by far the most important lesson in life. Life and the world would be a better place! Excellent!
this is how me and my brother were raised with punishments for each and every mistake we made big and small my young siblings have no discipline at all they sit around all day doing nothing and not getting anywhere while I can't sit for 5 minutes without checking what chores I am to do or what other thing I can do, my siblings now are able to yell my parents but when I was little I wouldn't dare to think to disrespect any adult at any time cause that's how my mom and dad were back then i am only 16 now but I am already doing very good in school and with working out because my dad never gave me a day off when I was little he never let me sit around on a tablet or watch TV he sent me outside and constantly found something for me to do I appreciate my dad and mom for how they raised me and to this day I still wake up at 6:30 am to help feed my autistic brother his first meal so my parents can sleep and my dad still never gives me a day off I used to be upset that I couldn't do what other kids could do I couldn't sit and relax and enjoy time playing games or watching TV I always had some work to do but now that I'm older I'm glad it was like that because I am so much more mature then other kids thank you dad for being so hard on me and thank you mom for teaching me time management.
Wow................great story. My dad too was like this. I hated it. When I grew up I saw the man had become. Then I learned that he was raised the same way. My dad is 89 now, but I get emotional remembering the hard things he made us do, the spanks and all that. Later I learned that he was making big sacrifices for us to stay in school and remain focused. He work early and slept late. He worked and worked and worked. Now like you, I get uncomfortable when I find I am doing nothing when it was not planned that I would be doing nothing. I cant get myself to stop. Being like this has made me a better dad to my kids. I discipline them. Not like my dad did, but I make them do hard things and I explain to them why. I tell them that when you do easy things life will be hard and when you do hard things life will be easy. That is why they are in good schools now because up to this day, I do the hard things still.
I agree that discipline is a vital attitude. I agree that accountability needs to be enforced and that our societies would be better if accountability was enforced. We have to start with our politicians. Obedience, however, is dangerous without critical thinking and disastrous if you don't stand up against unlawful acts. We've learned it from history: Leninism, Stalinism, the National Socialists, Communism, the GDR-Socialists... they were only able to survive a certain time, because of obedience. I'm a proud German; and I thought we have learned from history. But now, we are facing enforced vaccine mandates, terrorizing unvaccinated, mark them, isolate them from society, they get kicked out of there jobs, thus losing their economic basis, and the vast majority of people, blinded by fear and manipulated, agree with all of this.
If there is one demon in the world, than it is uncritical obedience. I dearly hope the attitude you describe as discipline, must not lead to this kind of obedience.
Damm right 100%!
It is better to have a well disciplined (self and socially) battalion than a rabble of whiners and selfish kids.
There is a balance you need to find between discipline and speaking up. If you are in lower position in organizations a lot of people mistake discipline as blind obedience. I have seen examples of this myself where people just kept quiet even though the master was making a clear mistake. Even the master despite his years of more experience afterall is a human and CAN make errors. As an officer you need to question him if you are not satisfied with his decisions even if it means you can be blasted off if he is pissed and you are wrong . That's not your concern.
This is gonna piss people off but I have seen this a lot with retired military people who were not officers and served at lower ranks. They are so molded to follow instructions, they will just go and run after to do things and not take a second to think about the whole picture. But I can understand how hard it can be when you are shaped mentally to be the instruments and to follow every single thing without much question.
Nice
I grew up in a SF community where discipline was installed on a daily basis ... Even other parents would keep us in line if we were out of line ... I went thru life respecting all grown ups and to this day I still say "yes mam/sir"... Even the thought of being late for something drives me up a wall ... there's really too much to explain on this subject for me ... I'm greatful for the discipline I was taught and passed it down to my 2 daughters who are very well adjusted and both have great careers and they are raising their kids in the same manner... FYI- my Dad was in 1st SF and was in WW11-Korea-and Vietnam(was in the whole Khe Sanh conflict) and retired as a Halo Instructor and passed from that Agent Orange crap...so you know that DISCIPLINE was a way of life for me ... wouldn't trade my upbringing for anything... one more thing about my Dad ... when going thru his Agent Orange ordeal the only thing he complained about was that it took 30yards off his Golf Swing ...
Wow I feel everyone needs to see this video including myself big time ! I can use this video to help apply to my life and not be so overwhelmed with my family and professional life that I'm stressed and in a constant state of anxiety
I love the idea of responsibility… it’s wonderful the wise will realize that thanks to this idea of responsibility they can do so many great things and when they make a mistake they take on the blame and fix it and thus becoming a better person that can do even more good. The moment you fear responsibility I don’t think you can get far into life, you will need to learn it, the sooner the better.
Can’t wait for the video. It’s the day before my birthday too
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
happy birthday
Yes, this is a good video that everyone must watch. Thank you.
Agree 100%. ALWAYS stellar stuff! Merry Christmas to all, and Godspeed in 2022...
Awesome videos LSO, but what happens when well disciplined people obey bad leaders?
There is a fine line to this and one can go overboard.
I love that water bottle..Bruh, that is so awesome!!!!. Thank you!..
Amen Brother!
Great video sir .
You literally took the word’s out of my mouth ✊🇺🇸. Great video
Amen

So true - was a pro in the army and working as a manager in the chemical industry now - I miss the time where I could discipline people for there misbehavior with push ups (your water bottle). Most people do not accept the punishment if they do something wrong …
In the Silent Service, we trained all the time. Ran drills around the clock. We always were short-handed, because at any time a quarter of our crew was away at school. So if someone was a screw-up, it almost always was a personal failure: he couldn't claim he didn't know better, or hadn't been informed. The private sector, by contrast, hates investing in their employees. Training budgets always are the first to go. Onboarding is a joke. Communications, when there are any, are confusing and inconsistent. When I transitioned to leadership roles in the civilian world, I learned quickly that if there was a performance problem, 80% of the time it was management's fault: we hadn't instructed the employee, given them the right materials or tools, or provided them with a structured mentoring process. "There's the deep end; in ya go," was our idea of new-hire orientation. Turns out my observations are backed by whole libraries of research: if there's one thing America excels at, it's frustrating and demoralizing its workforce. Sometimes the throat to choke is on our own shoulders.
I’m 19. I’m lazy, procrastinator, overthinking everything, have no confidence/respect for my self, am very depressed, and have 0 Discipline. I want to be a PJ. How would I go about keeping myself accountable for lack of discipline?
Again a great video, I have watched all of your videos frequently, now I received your book and I am very curious about the content.
You are a great mentor. Thankyou
Discipline equals Freedom - Jocko Willink!
And if i may say, hold yourself accountable first.
very well said.. great!
Can we get some videos of advice for highschool students working part time jobs after school?
Remember to also reward and pamper when someone display and show desirable values!
Within reason of course.
Pavlovian conditioning 101.
Haven't gotten out of active duty into the reserves several years ago as an officer. I still find certain people in the civilian world baffling. A few weeks ago I cut my thumb open in the band saw during the work accident. After jogging to medical clinic have you glued up I returned to finish my shift. And showed up for work the next day people ask me why I didn't just go home I said because there's a job to do and I realized we are not wired the same....
Discipline is action.
I’ve told people in public they need to apologize to the next tree they see for wasting its oxygen. They usually figure it out about a minute after I’ve walked away
I been saying it for 27 years 99% of civilians' don't have discipline, can't handle discipline, and civilian leaders don't have the balls to discipline their employees. On the other hand, I also had some leaders in the Army that had no disciplines.
Im under 90kg now. Kinda nice, but i'm not sure where I'm going
Just curious, can you not show your face because of your time in Special Ops or just personal preference ?
Discipline means organization, chain of command, and logistics

any relations ?
Amazing
I used to work with a guy who wasn't allowed to be disciplined if he was he'd play the race card, It caused alot of issues that the company is trying to deal with and even to this day has tarnished the companies reputation
any chance you will show up on Jocko podcast?? you guys seem to have lots of parallels in your mindset.
Wow 😳
I’m a civilian, fairly educated, moderately out of shape, but have been deployed twice as a contractor. The greatest frustration with my job is that I feel I am not doing enough. We work in a highly specialized intelligence field and have been thinking about joining the SOF community or a three letter. Does anyone have any advice for me.
I grew up without much discipline because of having parents who were absent. It definitely affected me negatively because discipline is established in childhood. As much as I try to disciplined as an adult, I can't teach myself what I don't know. So, parents out there, do your kids right by listening to what the video says. He is proof of being taught discipline. I am proof of not being taught discipline. Which do you want your kids to grow up like?
I must have been a real f up as I was constantly doing push ups in basic training 😀
Yes hold people accountable, but be clear and consistent with your standards. And when people meet and/or exceed those standards, reward them now and then. If all you do is enforce standards you become more of an authority figure. Then people try to avoid you so they don’t get called out.
As a field supervisor which meant people could get hurt if they don't listen or do what there asked because they feel they have 20+ years in the field they know it and done it all! No they become R.O.D also know as retired on duty. And when I write them up after kissing there butt to do something. I was told from above! To let it go because they were afraid they would leave. So I left instead because I was being jumped on for it!! This also gives the newer people the wrong impression and so on.
Do you think the military is worth joining for a career or is it only something you should try because isn’t the pay bad in the military
Joining the military is the same as going through other career paths. It should be a conscious decision made after you have done the due diligence. If you're someone ready for a regimented, discipline & rigid lifestyle then the military is for you. Otherwise you might want to consider other career options.
Also don't wait until your 30 to enlist like I did. Go in sooner rather than later if you decide to do so.
The retirement plan is basically a 401K now. Literally no logical sense doing active duty for 20 years. Great way to jump start a career for an 18 year old though.
@@lightyagami8377 I think I’m just going to join infantry for the fun and depending on how much I like it I may do more but I heard many marines joined French Legionnaires for more deployments since they didn’t get deployed much in marines
@@snowreaper4450 Join infantry for fun? You like cleaning bathrooms all day? Doing pointless field exercises for a few weeks? Waking up at 2 AM for duty standing at one spot for hours? Infantry is for you!
I love how children are referred to as “it”.
We have a saying ( the truth hurts ) an a lot of people don't want to hear that they are ,,what ever they are ,it hurts ,
Owning up to ur mistakes , it makes integrity makes you not want to do something stupid ,
“Discipline=freedom”
Hebrews 12:11
Hooah
Anytime I work small time jobs during college I leave within months because the environment sucks. Workers are super lazy and managers do sketchy stuff to make themselves look better.
Isn’t it weird to know right and wrong and do wrong instead
If we were to use a spray bottle where I work, I cannot imagine how wet some people would be by lunch time!
Look like RTC in the thumbnail. 😐
I am on the bad side on this :(
Nothing wrong with spanking. Their is discernable difference between spanking and hitting in an abusive manner. Lots of kids need corporal punishment but do not get it. Yes, some kids do not respond well to it. In those situations a different approach is needed.
You can’t spray people in public that would be considered assault you can use your words
One reason for no accountability: attorneys. Can’t discipline kids or employees for bad behavior. You may be sued
That’s a lame excuse to not fulfill your own obligations at a manager, parent or leader. If you are true and factual, they don’t have a leg to stand on if they wish to retaliate. Keep your reasons for discipline factual and non bias and you’ve got nothing to worry about. A small line that Kevin Bacon says in the movie, A Few Good Men is, “These are the facts and they can not be disputed.” I use it often!
Sadly, from what I hear. The Army is no longer disciplined, basic is now a joke and no one can be held accountable. I am glad I went into the Army when it was still a military force.....
I should use the spray bottle on the shit bags in my barracks. Don't think my NMTI's would like me doing that, but someone has to correct the behavior of the sailors there. 🤔
@Johnny Rep I'm not familiar with that term.
Act like your military
You signed away your rights the moment you where at m.e.p.s.
The the civilian world behind you
.......
Military command
Thanks for quoting scripture. You don't see that often on RUclips.
Cats are not that smart, but Does are.
You talk about soldiers being out of shape and not facing any consequences, I don't know about now but when I served and you failed the tape, you got one chance to lose the weight and if you didn't they discharged you. Also the military is woke today, Sec Def and Milley both are, I know more than a few people leaving the military even though they have some nice re up bonuses if they want it.
I don't agree with everything that you said.
That's a bunch of knuckleheads
That's why Japanese people are more smart and great workers, they are disciplined since kids for their bad behaviours, while here in Brazil, we don't or the mother try to discipline but not enough, them the kid grows up and turn into a robber.
Literally just got out of rtc great lakes, this thumbnail triggered memories I'd rather forget
Before you quoted Hebrews 12:11 at the end, I was thinking about how biblical all of this is. Tried and true wisdom for thousands of years! Thanks for your videos.
The worst discipline I saw while in the Army was in 6 years of USASOC. The best discipline I saw was in just 2 years of the 82nd
Start from childhood "don't throw empty bottle 🍼 down, throw it into dustbin 🗑 "..😎👍
Thank you for sharing this, what an amazing reminder to enforce discipline on oneself
You say discipline holding yourself ccountable and one way to teach it is to punish bad behavior.
I think using punishment and holding accountable is a option to curtail bad behavior , however it is inferior to positive reinforcement. For the no homework done child , a system of reward will be a better motivator into setting them up to build the habit of doing homework. Children work harder if there is a reward compared to the fear of punishment. A potential adverse effect of punitive discipline is a breakdown of rapport between the leader and the follower and the risk of disobedience if leader lose the power of punishment. Another issue we should discuss is how punitive punishment apply in different circumstance such as the justice system or school discipline doesn't lead to the person growth or prune their bad behavior, it often accelerate such bad behavior.
Considering these facts and research showing positive reinforcement is effectice , why shouldn't we just use only positive tactics such as rewards, guidance and counseling?
Do you think there's an age cutoff if someone who hasn't learned discipline will never learn it?
Spray bottle example very interesting!
Awesome video! I'm just a teenage and have a lot to learn, but watching this video is inspiring. Keep it up!
Thank you for reminding what my football coach taught all of us new guys on the first day.
discipline is not what you do to somebody. Discipline is what you do FOR someone. You don't hammer someone for being wrong. You teach them how to apply themselves to accomplish more. Former Drill Sgt experience.
Great video and it covers the biggest issue of today's society. People lack discipline and then complain about company CEO'S that built the company and worked hard for years to get there. Now they want Equity cause they can't succeed with Equality. Don't buy into it, hard work and discipline helps you excell in life and grow as a person. Being lazy and complaining doesn't help anyone including yourself.
So good ,discipline is most important at everywhere.and every walk of life
but also include dont impose accountability or sanctions to people not under the organization
people are free from any responsibility or command for organizations that they are not associated or interested with
Punitive behavior can correct short term bad behavior but is practically useless in achieving long term results in a leadership role. You cannot browbeat someone into being good at their job, or instill a sense of work ethic and pride through fear. It does. Not. Work.
Not part of the military cuz im still in highschool but i lost my sense of displine a month ago and i really needed this
Idk why but this video is so funny to me.
