My only son died 2 months after being home from Iraq….ur story inspires me ..a heartbroken mom..don’t give up move forward
I'm in Florida too...praying for you tonight...
I'm so very sorry momma!! Much love from the Hartman family
Wishing you all the best.
I know words don’t help but a lot of us appreciate your son even without knowing him.
I mean we appreciate what he did to make the world a better place.
My brother spent 10 years in prison. He was just released about 6 months ago. Soon after being released, he discovered youtube podcast, one of witch was Jocko Willink. Meanwhile, I've been listening to Jocko for awhile but had no idea he discovered him. Until one day, my brother calls me, and answered the phone imitating Jocko's voice, saying "good evening". I responded with a Jocko voice and we carried on a conversation like this for a couple of minutes trying one- up each other by making up badass war stories like we were Rambo or something. Ever sense then it has been tradition for us to answer the phone in a Jocko voice.Thank you Jocko, you've help us both to get up, and get after it.
Lol wtf.
Haha that’s awesome. I hope this podcast has helped your brother in his new chapter of life. It isn’t easy readjusting back into society, but with the right attitude/support many have succeeded 😎
Good luck to you both xx
Man thats awesome to hear, i hope you’re both gettin after it💪🏻
How’s your bother doing now?
As a kid I grew up next to a paraplegic marine from Nam. He taught me how to shoot reload. Not once did he ever complain
I think Travis has earned the right to act however he wants. Serious or not.
Absolutely!
I don't think. I know he has. He such an inspiration and great person 💯
Sure he has. War hero, family man, charismatic funny responsible and caring personality, and soneone with a very inspirational story with many lessons to be learned from. Nothing but respect for him.
Dude is funny as hell.
Exactly! Love me some Travis Mills!
"you're going to be okay!" Got me laughing
I work for the Travis Mills Foundation, it is as special as he makes it sound. It breeds love and hope and friendship. What he has done and everyone involved with his mission, is larger than life and I’m proud to serve the men and women who once served me.
Travis, Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Not sure I've heard Jocko laugh that much in the first 89 podcasts combined. Great podcast and Travis is an awesome guest. I think he needs his own podcast.
two years later, 90 + more podcasts and I've yet to hear Jocko laugh this much.
going on 210 podasts and this is the most I've ever him ever heared him laugh
278 podcasts later and his laugh was never heard again
At 312 and I do concur
I will never again complain about my bullshit....Travis, God Bless you and your family. Thank you for being the man you are.
Echo's laugh is hysterical. Mills is such a special dude
I’m 41 and compared to this man, I’ve done And experienced Nothing, I’m holding back tears watching this. What a man, what a soldier. Keep doing you Big Dog. ✊🏽👑
I am a vet and it was an honor just to be around great patriots like these two gentleman. Thank you for your service. America is in quite capable & good hands.
I hate to say it but in reality we're really in the hands of criminal politicians that start wars for no reason other than pride and their own greed. But I get what you mean, and I agree. Unfortunately the bravest among us are not running the show
This man is a fucking inspiration holy shit. Through out all of his battles/struggles he still remains humble and cracks jokes. Amazing to see, one of the best podcasts on this channel. Truly inspiring, Thank You Travis and Thank You for your Service.
I just met Jocko and Echo in Maine at the Origin Immersion Camp last week. Echo if you're reading this you are one cool humble dude I had fun almost getting that sack of rocks up being the skinny guy. Can't wait to ship out, Jocko told me to go get some hell ya 🤣
Amazing story, my cousin brandon was KIA in Afghanistan and was in travis's unit, he talks about him in his book. He was KIA in june 3 months after travis's injury
sorry for your loss mate 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧
R.I.P HERO.
My condolences for you and your family.
@@VanillaGorilla502 thank you
@@rgman2858 I'm sorry for your loss. Long live your cousin, RIP Hero.
I didn't even notice that he didn't have arms till an hour in.. what a beast of a human
Bro same lol
He is missing both his legs as well. I meet him a few years ago. He is an outstanding and humble person.
Guy is so positive and has lost all limbs. The definition of a great person and a clown personality. Much respect from a army combat vet. Much respect to jocko for this interview. Stay safe gentlemen.
His nutsacks hanging off the light. Trucks not hurt all. Genius bro.
His Big Balls are to Big for His sack! His Sack can’t hold his xxx size big balls! No sack can hold his Balls
Mr Cut Folks calm down bro
Sgt. Mills exemplifies what still makes America great. He is a true American that thought not about himself even after having all his limbs blown off, but wanted to make sure his men were ok. He is a fearless warrior who brings out the best of this country. Hooah Sgt. mills, thank you for your service and all you have given to this country.
Travis Mills, thank you for your service brother.
FIVE STARS!!!!! Can't even find the words to express how impactful Tavis was when listening to this episode. An Airborne brother that made me feel like I was back at Bragg again. I laughed harder than I have in years and in his terms "some wind hit my eye." Total respect and certainly helped me "check myself" when facing adversity. Headed straight to the charity, watching his moving, and reaching out on Social Media.
Travis - found this podcast prior to taking my Jocko fuel..... thank you for your service one vet to another. Son now a Marine Officer as we continue to do our part as a family for this great nation. Professionals Play Hurt.....my motto during my own tough times. Best to you and your family! You are the best example of what someone can be.
Thank you for what you do. As a German immigrant I have a very high regard and respect for you Americans Service men for what you do. Choices I made did not lead me to this life, although I got a look at it from the outside spending time in Ft. Dix NJ in the 80's, where my brother in law was stationed. As a drill sergeant he'd take me to the training grounds to watch and learn. (And fill lots of sandbags and paint concrete stops...) Many of my German relatives lost their lives in WW2, so I grew up with stories of fallen soldiers. Eastern Front, Western Front, and bits here and there from my father who served in the Luftwaffe. Once again - thank you for bringing these amazing people into your show. No matter how gut wrenching, I listen and hear their tales. And they inspire me to do better every day.
What a true hero…. ✊🏼 very hard to find an excuse to not work my absolute hardest after listening to this warrior.
Funniest podcast I've ever listened to.
Guys like Travis are really what I miss about being in the Army.
1:48:23 "...a little intense..."
So apparently I'm jealous of a quadruple amputee, I wish I had a fraction of this man's charisma and positive character!
This mans attitude is amazing, what an inspirational human being.
I agree.
Good evening, UA-cam.
Carter Layne as that pause insinuated, i read this in my mind.
good evening.
"I forgot you were here" lmao
He is such a wonderful person. I sincerely hope the rest of his life is as trouble free as possible.
Had the pleasure of seeing SSG mills speak at an EMS conference in my home state of Maine.
The guy is super funny and a great public speaker!
57:57 The MARSOC member shot and killed was GySgt Gilbert. Events surrounding MSOT 8222's deployment to Bala Murghab are detailed in SSgt Michael Golembesky's book, Dagger 22. Also covers the IED explosion that killed SGT Foxx.
Thank you for this/
Golembesky also wrote Level Zero Hero. Good read.
Wow I cried, laughed, learned, and inspired. Travis no pun intended strive be half the man u are. Saying how special you are to make me change and I have a lot of work. Thankyou Travis for making my freedom mean more to me
Wow. That's a fucking warrior. Time to hit the gym and get after it.
Anybody else watch these and absolutely fucking regret not joining the military?
Cmd Ctrl lol yep
Biggest Regret
All the time, but then I got to the part where the guy steps on a bomb and loses his limbs.
@Ton The worst part is knowing that you're fighting, killing, and dying for some politician's agenda which is funded ("under the table") by some mega corporation's leader, their family's legacy, and for their agenda; not for the betterment of the American People.
The brotherhood is beautiful though, so is the art of war and the execution there of. I just wish it was for the betterment of the American People, not for the betterment of the billionaires behind the curtains.
The real war is at home and right across our border in Mexico. Our children are dying, our country is dying so that drug cartels can profit. We're half way across the globe spraying pesticide yet at home we have roaches pouring out of our sinks.
Our kind die in war without reproducing and yet we import hundreds of thousands of African's, Muslims, and Hispanics who's reproduction ratio is an average of 4 to 2 (4 kids per 2 parents).
It's mathematical, economic even, at this rate & in due time, all will be for nothing.
Patriotism can be glasses with opaque blinders. If you're not careful, you'll be flanked by an enemy that you can't even see. The Nazi's wore those same glasses... This has all been done before.
We're self exterminating and lettings our enemies into our homes while we're away.
But the brotherhood is beautiful & so is the art of war and the execution there of...
You hit the nail on the head. Even if I'm not american, I think the situations are very similar.
This guy is funny as hell and so inspirational. Glad I watched.
Double guests cant get better than this ✊🇺🇸😎
For this guy to still have such an amazing sense of humor after what he went through is one of the best things in this world.
You should do a show on veteran suicide, and talk about Todd Nicely. It will be a tough show, but you could really shine a light on this epedemic.
Hands down, one of the best episodes of this podcast. Unbelievably amazing. Thank you, Jocko and Echo for sharing Travis' story. Thank you to Travis for being so candid.
Man, a lot of this reminds me of my first deployment to Iraq. I remember being told were going out to do over watch on this road for 2 weeks and it ended up being over 2 months without a shower. They ran out of freaking MREs and they literally had a helicopter go over us and they threw like half a pallet of freaking pop tarts. I will never eat another pop tart in my life.
When I worked with the seals they had their own personal chefs in their own special compound. I'm glad Jacko didn't hide how good they eat here haha.
I also remember getting chewed out by a major in front of the entire chow hall after getting back from being out for over a month an coming back from a sandstorm that lasted days bc my uniform was dirty. These higher ups often have nothing better to do. People don't realize that only like 1% of the military on these big bases actually leave the base to fight when they're over there. This guy was probably sitting in the AC eating great every day while were going through the shit kicking in doors patrolling 12-16 hours a day in the heat with all our gear on all day, and he has the balls to chew us out over sandy uniforms? This kind of crap is a big part of what led me to get out of the marines...so much stupidity over things that don't matter.
Stolen valor?
Hammd Arif Shut your fuckin mouth
WP With Tom went out for a month on an op and obviously didn’t shower and some had ripped cammies and such, dirty hair dirty everything. We get back to the base and it’s time for chow, we go to get some food and some POG captain sitting down in clean pressed cammies says hey Marine and motions me with his finger to go to him. I walk over and say “good evening sir” the dude says “who do you think you are cuffing your sleeves? I don’t care if you’re out patrolling or doing whatever” I tell him “it’s hot, we are sweating all day, and cuffing sleeves gets a breeze up the arms sir” he gets pissed and tells me to un cuff my sleeves and take off my memorial bracelet because it’s out of regs. Like fuck off dude. Things started getting dumber and dumber as the years went on. Ended up getting out to
Boo. Hoo.
Those people are interwoven throughout the world. I have met many. Not cool.
All of you beautifully patriotic men are truly an inspiration. I fucking love it Jocko. You consistently have fantastic content and I can't stop watching... Thank you for showing the world what real men are made of.
MAY GOD BLESS Mr. Mills, Mr. Willink, and Mr. Charles!
Even a marine likes this podcast :)
No spoilers, man... Let me get through the 3 hours first, lol. SF
Pardon my french but who the fug dislikes something like this? It’s about the most positive thing you can possibly see anywhere. 😄
Travis is a hero, warrior and patriot. But more: he is what all humans should strive to be.
What an indelible unwavering spirit this man has.
Wow!! What an amazing interview. An interview like this makes me proud to be a human being knowing there are people like Travis out there. To go through all he endured and come out with his sense of humor intact and his spirit unbroken. It also makes me ashamed to be a human being. I get stressed over things like traffic and bills when Travis gave everything and suffered some of the most extensive trauma and suffering a person can face. If you dont tear up atleast at little when Travis talks about learning to walk again along side his daughter you must be made of stone. And i cried out loud when he told his wife to move on and find someone else and she said she was in it for life, through better or worse he was stuck with her. I can barely type this without crying. We all dream of a love like that. Thank God for people like Travis and Jocko who choose to run into battle and risk it all to defend our freedom.
What a great guy. Thanks for your service and sacrifice, from a fellow Army brother.
I cried laughing in my truck watching this in between shifts at work. Like, howling laughter in the parking lot of the warehouse I work at. What an amazing podcast this was, and I've seen many Jocko podcasts. Glad to see Travis and his family are still doing well. (The number of people I keep up with on social media has increased dramatically after starting to watch these shows.) This will probably never get read, but I ship out January 19th for basic, enlisted 11b army infantry. I can't wait to never see my bonus come in haha.
Read your comment 1 year later. Hoping your doing well
@@Jake-py5ff Thanks brother I appreciate it. Basic was what it is I suppose lol. I'm with a really good unit now, about 9 months in and our first big training mission coming up with us new guys. I have friends now that recently deployed around the world and I'm patiently biding my time in my contract.
Travis is an incredible individual. Strong mentally and physically, what a great personality, leader and no better friend.
Amazing man, father, husband!! Thank you for your service. My family and I can sleep well at night knowing that Men like Travis are out there fighting to keep us all out of harms way. From one Michigander to another thank you, thank you and GOD BLESS!!
Man this dude is a major inspiration. Even after all he’s been through he still has an amazing sense of humor. Really powerful stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼
As a civilian who got hurt at work and almost lost my leg, and my life… this really puts things into perspective.
All the shit I have gone/am going through isn’t great, but if Travis can maintain his sense of purpose and positive attitude, who the fuck am I to feel sorry for myself?
Much love and respect for Jocko, Travis, and even you Echo!
Y’all are doing something so special, I’m not sure it is even possible to quantify.
I've known some impressive people in my life, but Travis stands at the very top. Our son did four years in the Navy doing Visit Board Search and Seize. Got out and had a family, but enlisted in the Army with the 82nd Airborne; loved it and was going to make it a career, but got hurt and discharged. Listening to Travis reminds me of when our son was in.
I have been listening to Ep. 90. My respect for Travis Mills can't be quantified. Just ordered the book. (Clicked through Jocko Podcast site... Yes... I did that. Also, my daughter in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M wears a shirt of yours: Discipline Equals Freedom.)
What an awesome podcast, I'm halfway thru this and I've heard Jocko laugh more in the past 45 minutes than in most podcasts. Serious shit but good humor. Thank you both for your service gentlemen.
"Humor is, as I once wrote, close to sadness; but the converse is also true." James V. Schall, At A Breezy Time of Day
Man, just a constant roller coaster of emotions listening to this. Thank you for your service, Travis.
Two podcasts in two days? Man, you guys are awesome.
hahaha I always look forward to the awkwardness between Jocko and EC transitioning into the Onnit products, etc. portion of the show at the end. Too funny. Another good podcast guys. Thank you.
Travis needs his own podcast, his sense of humor is infectious..
That's my birthday the day Travis hit an IED. I want to thank him that without his service. I wouldn't be able to have my freedom to celebrate it with my family. He is a true man.
mustve been one hell of a trip to Mexico.
Laughed hysterically & cried in admiration. Thank you for having this hero on.
Travis you are an amazing man. So much courage, leadership, selfless giving & overall such a good man in every way. I wish I knew someone with a personally like you! Thank you for sharing your story and your service. This world is a better place with you & your personality is magnetic! If we only had more people like you. Your family is so blessed to have you! Thank you!!!
Thank you for your sacrifice and service, Travis "Big" Mills and platoon!
Just finished up this podcast and WOW! God sure didn’t skimp when he built this man,full package of humor and humility,compassion and charisma,compassion and also got the full house of the man card.What a inspirational son,soldier,father and husband “man crush”.Thanks Travis for sharing your story and making me laugh and cry.
Touching intro, on an admittedly odd point, I really like the decision to go with just black and white.
Revisiting this one. Its been a few rough months. But I can't not smile after watching the level of positivity through this.
Such an up beat happy badass guy givin all he’s been through. Definition of HERO.
34:40 "Had a suicide bomber run up on us, detonated in front of our truck, just like, 'what an idiot.'" (Jocko dyin) "No I mean like (poof), you know his nutsack's hangin off the light and his--you know, but he's just, the truck's not hurt at all."
- Fucking Legend, 2017
Im really late on this one but this is one of the greatest human beings I've ever heard speak, he has the best spirit in In our entire universe! Thank you Travis for your relentless dedication to America! It's men like you that make me proud to be American! Love all you guys!!
So spot on about missing combat. I remember after getting back stateside in 2007 after my first deployment to Iraq that ended up being 15 months long for OIF 06-07 based at Camp Diamondback in Mosul. Running ops in that lovely city and the other 5 star resort city of Tal Afar. I don't need to go into any details because anyone who knows about those two places during that time frame knows it was the Wild-fuckin-West. It was life or death every time we rolled out the wire. The bonds that grow in combat have to be experienced to truly understand. You become closer to the guys in your platoon than you ever could be with your blood family. And as shitty as it got, with in two days of being CONUS, myself and my brothers began pining and wishing we could be back in the shit again. Anyone who reads this and knows what I mean, you aren't alone and you aren't the only one who would trade anything to go back. And you aren't strange or weird for feeling that way no matter what anyone tells you.
I'm part of the 06-07 club fob dagger Mitt iraq
Been out for 3 years, but you guys are the reason I joined. Didn’t understand 9/11 because I was young, but watching news reports of Bad moherfuckers doing great things I geared my future to it. Hancock 0311 from 2011-2015
Welcome back Travis, you have a beautiful A American Spirit.
Good Bless you Mr. Mills and thank you for your service. I pray the best for you and your family. Thank you for the insight of what a full life should be.
What a legend, Its hard to watch such an amazing guy dealing with these injuries. hero.
Damn this was a great episode. Travis is my hero. I'll never be half the man he is, but he sure does give me something to strive for and look up to.
“Half the man he is”.. I see what you did there.
Nothin but love 😅
@@doodjenkins4038 This comment made me actually laugh out loud lol.
@@doodjenkins4038 strive and look up too. I'm sure Travis would appreciate this. Lol
I came back from war with some issues, and always wondered how I would've handled coming back an amputee, or some life altering injury. My attitude at the time serving was that I hoped I died if it was ever that bad. This warrior and so many others that live everyday with those type of injuries are an inspiration, and make me feel guilty for complaining about my own shit. I could only hope I would charge on with such a positive attitude such as Travis! Thank you for sharing your life story with us. God bless
Bro..... Echos only job this podcast was laughing at Travis! Amazing Podcast filled with phenomenal leaders.
So inspiring and moving! Insane amount of courage and fortitude. Beyond motivating!!! Amazing, thank you ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
Every one should read this book! But the podcast on UA-cam is the most inspiring thing I have ever see !!! ANYONE having a bad day, this is the best!!! Thank you for serving our great nation!!
Just listened this this episode this morning. This was legit.
A great service to this great country by all of you. Thank you a million times. One of the funniest podcast in a serious situation. Thank you
I had to share this here! I just saw this on FB. Still in the fight with his head high and a smile on his face. What an Incredible Warrior!
Former soldier speaks out about double arm transplants:
Former soldier Brendan Marrocco is speaking publicly Tuesday for the first time about his long recovery from a bomb blast in Iraq and what it feels like to have two new transplanted arms.
Marrocco, 26, of Staten Island, N.Y., was the first servicemember of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive the loss of four limbs. He has said he "doesn't regret a thing." He's already moving his new arms.
Former Army Sgt. Brendan Marrocco of Staten Island, N.Y., appears at a news conference Jan. 29 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
"My arms have given me a lot of hope. They feel great," Marrocco said in a briefing from Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore where he was the first soldier to receive a double arm transplant. "Don't have any pain anymore. Currently I don't have any feeling yet, but we'll get there. I can move my wrist a little bit."
He lost both legs above the knees, his left arm below the elbow and his right arm above the elbow in Iraq when a military vehicle he was driving on Easter 2009 was struck by a roadside bomb.
Marrocco is one of only seven people in the USA who have undergone successful double arm transplants. The 13-hour surgery was performed at Johns Hopkins on Dec. 18. It will take more than a year to know how fully Marrocco will be able to use the new arms, according to W.P. Andrew Lee, plastic surgeon at Johns Hopkins.
Asked what he looks forward to, Marrocco said, "I want to drive again. I used to really enjoy driving. It was a lot of fun for me. And I also want to hand cycle a marathon."
"I'm looking forward to doing everything I could do before I got hurt,'' Marracco said. "I hated not having hands. You do everything with your hands."
The surgery involved the connection of bones, blood vessels, muscles, tendons, nerves and skins on both arms. Lee told The Washington Post that new arms are never going to have 100% of the function of the limbs they replace, but patients have learned to tie shoes, use chopsticks and put their hair in ponytails.
In a second innovative procedure, Marrocco was given a new anti-rejection regimen using bone marrow from the deceased donor. That allows him to not have to rely heavily on the anti-rejection transplant medications that have side effects, can cause cancer and threaten organs. Lee developed that approach while working at the University of Pittsburgh.
His new arms "already move a little," Marrocco tweeted a month after the operation. He described himself on Facebook as "a wounded warrior, very wounded."
The military is sponsoring operations like these to help wounded troops. About 300 have lost arms or hands in the wars. While many of the soldiers who lose lower limbs are outfitted with prostheses, those devices are not as advanced for arms and hands.
The gathering at the briefing laughed when Johns Hopkins' surgeon Jaimie Shores kidded, "He won't throw like Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco,'' competing in this weekend's Super Bowl, "but he can try to throw a football sometime. I don't think we'll be able to hold him back."
His positive attitude despite his injuries is remarkable to say the least.Where some become unhinged by the
weather forecast or a simple auto breakdown, Travis displays the " can do" attitude despite impossible odds.
I can’t tell you all how much I appreciate these Warriors! Hero’s ! Awesome young men! I love listening to their stories>. JUST AMAZING MEN! LOVE THEM ALL!THANK YOU!!!!!!
What an Amazing Human-being !!!
An inspiration is an Understatement!!!
Mills is truly "as tough as they come" what an amazing rare breed of a human being
Unbelievably inspiring. Whenever you're about to give up, just think "This wouldn't stop Jocko, this wouldn't stop Travis" and get after it.
Also, looking forward to Echo making "new hotness" a thing now.
Thank you Travis and Thank you Jocko and Echo. Great episode.
Travis, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Thank you for taking the fight to the terrorist. Your life story is an inspiration to us all.
This is one of my favorite episodes I listened on podcasts had to watch on UA-cam
Now I know nerve pain intimately. Ive got crushed nerves in my back effecting the left side of my body all the way to my toes. There is no pain like nerve pain. No repositioning to relieve it, no massage. No pain med, no alcohol, no MJ, Nothing.
And I can not imagine the insanity of the pain this man experienced after the incident. The nerve pain from phantom limb is far and away worse than what I've experienced. I've laid in a bed and writhed in pain moaning and at times screaming till I passed out from exhaustion and pain. And I did this for days til surgery. This man is infinitely stronger than most humans can fathom.
What a tough and genuine man. Just wow.
Love the podcast and how solemn they normally are but was a joy to listen to Travis. Wish I had his demeanor.
Man, you are one awesome and humble dude. Best sense of humor and positive outlook. I know you will accomplish more than most folks. God Bless and HAND SALUTE to you brother ! You are a blessing to others I am sure.
What. A. Fucking. STUD.
I retire from the Army in October of 2020. I wish I had Jocko podcast 10 years ago.
I just recently discovered Travis Mills and his story. What an amazing man who never quit and never gave up. He had every excuse to be bitter and spiteful but chose to channel his pain into a positive light. I’ve also never heard Jocko and Echo laugh so genuinely!
SSG Mills is the definition of a hero. A great leader no matter the circumstance. Listening to the part when he stepped on the IED. Despite that he still managed to put his men first before being concerned with his own life.
