2:51:03 when Jocko stops for a moment, you realize he’s thinking about when this actually happened. Even though it was more than a decade ago, the thought of one of his guys being in such bad shape is hard to think about. Thank you for this podcast
😅 what ? Are you even talking about???? What freedom(s) ? If you look up to a COOOOOWARD Like this guy who goes into other peoples lands and removes them from the face of the earth then you should be very very worried. JOCKKKKO WOULD sell his own mother for 2 dollars don't worry he's being investigated for possible war crimes
I've been listening to Jocko daily for 2 weeks now,read his book and starting from chapter 1 once again. I work as a diesel mechanic with my father and i see he has too much on his plate. I keep telling myself to step up and be a leader,my grandma is at the hospital on her death bed as i type this. The timing of this video is just insane. As a 27 year old man with no kids, who doesn't drink, works and workout daily I feel too nonchalant and comfortable in life. Thank you for your service and advice. God bless you
I met Bobby 29 September 2024. I was paired with him in a golf outing... what an absolute Honor to talk and spend that time with him.. from 1 Combat Veteran to another, BZ......
I usually listen to jocko on the Apple app, but when he was reading the email at about 2hrs 50min he paused in such a way where I opened up youtube for the video. Damn man. The loss of a loved one, and the remembrance of such a loss always pulls you toward that moment in time. Jocko obviously loves all his guys, and from what I have read about Ryan Job he had such an infectious and unique personality that made a lasting mark on all those he served with. BTF Jocko included. He spoke about Biggles prior to this mark in this podcast where you could obviously tell he made an impression on him.
I came from Spotify at that moment. Didn't know if that was weird. After hours and hours of hearing about guys like Ryan, that email hit me, too. And it is a moment like that that audio alone is not enough for the weight of the moment.
416... I remember listening the first 6 and thinking that I needed just 20 more to be up to date. What a journey. Thank you Jocko. By the way, Reacher season 2 first episode ends with a quote and attitude from you, I'm sure about it 😂
I can definitely relate to his dads story... very similar and my brother was poisoned by a tainted product by either competitor or corrupt police.... i held his as died in my arms. Really messed me up for a long time. Ive pulled myself up but wasn't easy and wasn't quick

03:09:02 🌊 A seamless transition into a new platoon was unusual but a testament to strong leadership and mutual respect. 03:10:38 🏌♂ A chance encounter with golf due to deployment delays led to a

Hebrews 12:11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
I wish I could better understand people like Bobby. I think not being able to forget all the details of my life, has held me back. And he doesn't seem to remember the specifics of his childhood at all. I'm not questioning his memory, because he is believable. I just wish I knew how to forget
I dont listen to Jockos podcast in numerical order, i pick them randomly or if the guest is one i really want to hear, and the last 4 or 5 i have listenend to have all mentioned Seabees. Fuckin Hoorah!! -CM1
If you have not yet founf it, he does have one of the indig pilots on that did eventually make it to the states, forget name atm but Meyer was there also. It is a great story.
If I recall correctly, they never did have or use chemical rockets, so the mop suits could have been ditched a lot earlier. Although have heard some still swear there were but never heard of anyone actually having to do the decontamination after? Add in they never used the suits around the burn pits. Wonder if the SEALS had the pattern for desert instead of woodland?
@@ronaldcaudle7167 the question was if anyone knows different. The question marks are asking for corrections or information otherwise and to highlight that I am not making a statement of fact.
2:28:00 I grew up on San Clemente Beach. And remember in the mid 1970s seeing Frog Men , appearing out of no where in the shallow waters around me as a child. 😂
Jocko I know you’re not gonna read this. But why don’t ya interview an Air Force CCT or PJ? We never get any sort of exposure on any of these. I’ll be happy to come on.
I think about all the wild/brave stuff some of these guys do while in other countries…imagine what they (and others) would do if stuff went down here at home in the US?!
Because what they are doing to the Jan. 6 people is small time compared to what they do to those people that try. Not that that should stop people but you do need to organize and have a very large group that can look out for each other at all times, and will have to organize without electronics.
@@requited2568 thank you for your reply. What if we (what we call ourselves) we the.. hmm.. we the people? Yeah, I like that. What if we the people decided to like use a different currency to conduct business? So that question is a leading one, in a long line of logic that eventuality ask if we are a free people? So were those who turned in there gold in the 1960's patriotic honorable Americans as they were told? So, if those who round up people for doing such things as bringing grievances or speaking or many other things prohibited of government from interfering with; that is these people are paid in tax money and consider themselves government not individuals. All things being what they are: government is just an idea, existing only in the heads of thinking beings. (The converse being true as well: if you don't think government exists, it doesn't, just the people who call themselves that do) And so, if we choose a better (or even worse if we want) currency to use, and those who call themselves government and choose to violate this constitution wehold dear, will no longer have the financial incentive to do so. And, here is maybe the brightest part, those people can choose to be individuals again and regain their freedom, which I doubt they knew they lost. Every 10 year old should understand the constitution as well as I do and we would not have these problems. Maybe 16 year Olds, I may be exaggerating. P.s. apologies for grammar, posting unedited
@@veugeler72 I have no disagreements, the problem is one of scale and that the people who are capable of that fight usually just want to be left alone until things get bad enough for them and theirs that they have no choice, which also has to be the case for a good percentage of that population. Seems like the historical number is around 5-10%.
I dont think men have all the answer and I dont know enough about matrix structures to know the difference. Is life just about solving problems or is life a root seeping sun for nutrient. Is nutrition dervived from energy or nourishment?
Good morning, gentlemen. I am not here to comment on this current podcast. However, it sounds like Valor, I am reaching out to you, Frogman, or frogmen. There is a pod cast that goes by red owl. I just listened to about 15 short stories narrated by some dude, I don't like stories about anybody or anything. These stories are about navy seals and what I would describe engaging with cryptic creatures. I was not a navy seal. However, running and leaving teammates when under attack. I like to believe that a seal will never leave a fight and leave his team. You might get ahead of to whom it may concern, ok 🐸 Frogman, this guest grew up south of me, Adios for now. I'm out.
Bro who tf is watchign FOUR HOURS of this shit.... i love the podcast but ffs I am not sitting and watching 4hrs of this stuff.... time is too precious.. honestly hate this trend of long podcasts...
You dont watch, you LISTEN. thats the whole point of podcasts dude lmao. Time is not a issue while listening to life lessons from Jocko and his guests.
Yeah well, here in the real world you learn how to be a leader throughout the normal course of your career, and when you’re old and pissed off and hate everyone you become a manager and create new leaders… usually through abuse. Reminds me of taekwondo class. The yellow stripe doesn’t want to teach the white belt the kata, not very good at it either… but there he is, against all odds.
2:51:03 when Jocko stops for a moment, you realize he’s thinking about when this actually happened. Even though it was more than a decade ago, the thought of one of his guys being in such bad shape is hard to think about.
Thank you for this podcast
We are blessed as a Nation to have such people who ensure our Freedoms are not extinguished by its' many enemies worldwide.
😅 what ? Are you even talking about???? What freedom(s) ? If you look up to a COOOOOWARD Like this guy who goes into other peoples lands and removes them from the face of the earth then you should be very very worried. JOCKKKKO WOULD sell his own mother for 2 dollars don't worry he's being investigated for possible war crimes
I've been listening to Jocko daily for 2 weeks now,read his book and starting from chapter 1 once again. I work as a diesel mechanic with my father and i see he has too much on his plate. I keep telling myself to step up and be a leader,my grandma is at the hospital on her death bed as i type this. The timing of this video is just insane. As a 27 year old man with no kids, who doesn't drink, works and workout daily I feel too nonchalant and comfortable in life.
Thank you for your service and advice.
God bless you
What a fulfilling American Story! Thank You so much Jocko for ensuring we could see this!!

He spoke about Biggles prior to this mark in this podcast where you could obviously tell he made an impression on him.
I just did exactly the same thing. Can really feel his pain and appreciate everything you all have been through.
I came from Spotify at that moment. Didn't know if that was weird. After hours and hours of hearing about guys like Ryan, that email hit me, too. And it is a moment like that that audio alone is not enough for the weight of the moment.
416... I remember listening the first 6 and thinking that I needed just 20 more to be up to date. What a journey. Thank you Jocko. By the way, Reacher season 2 first episode ends with a quote and attitude from you, I'm sure about it 😂
I freaking love the fact that you guys exist. Bless !

All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
I wish I could better understand people like Bobby. I think not being able to forget all the details of my life, has held me back. And he doesn't seem to remember the specifics of his childhood at all. I'm not questioning his memory, because he is believable. I just wish I knew how to forget
I dont listen to Jockos podcast in numerical order, i pick them randomly or if the guest is one i really want to hear, and the last 4 or 5 i have listenend to have all mentioned Seabees. Fuckin Hoorah!!

If you have not yet founf it, he does have one of the indig pilots on that did eventually make it to the states, forget name atm but Meyer was there also. It is a great story.
If I recall correctly, they never did have or use chemical rockets, so the mop suits could have been ditched a lot earlier. Although have heard some still swear there were but never heard of anyone actually having to do the decontamination after? Add in they never used the suits around the burn pits.
Wonder if the SEALS had the pattern for desert instead of woodland?
What the F was your point? If you had a question, you didn’t need the first paragraph.
@@ronaldcaudle7167 the question was if anyone knows different. The question marks are asking for corrections or information otherwise and to highlight that I am not making a statement of fact.

Wow, nothing but respect.
Long time joko and echo,
I want to ask a thing,
What is your take on private armies, or a mercenaries ?
It may sound corny, however I am going to step up and raise the bar.
Jocko I know you’re not gonna read this. But why don’t ya interview an Air Force CCT or PJ? We never get any sort of exposure on any of these. I’ll be happy to come on.
I think about all the wild/brave stuff some of these guys do while in other countries…imagine what they (and others) would do if stuff went down here at home in the US?!
🙌
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸

Because what they are doing to the Jan. 6 people is small time compared to what they do to those people that try. Not that that should stop people but you do need to organize and have a very large group that can look out for each other at all times, and will have to organize without electronics.
@@requited2568 thank you for your reply. What if we (what we call ourselves) we the.. hmm.. we the people? Yeah, I like that.
What if we the people decided to like use a different currency to conduct business? So that question is a leading one, in a long line of logic that eventuality ask if we are a free people?
So were those who turned in there gold in the 1960's patriotic honorable Americans as they were told?
So, if those who round up people for doing such things as bringing grievances or speaking or many other things prohibited of government from interfering with; that is these people are paid in tax money and consider themselves government not individuals. All things being what they are: government is just an idea, existing only in the heads of thinking beings. (The converse being true as well: if you don't think government exists, it doesn't, just the people who call themselves that do)
And so, if we choose a better (or even worse if we want) currency to use, and those who call themselves government and choose to violate this constitution wehold dear, will no longer have the financial incentive to do so. And, here is maybe the brightest part, those people can choose to be individuals again and regain their freedom, which I doubt they knew they lost.
Every 10 year old should understand the constitution as well as I do and we would not have these problems. Maybe 16 year Olds, I may be exaggerating.

Good morning, gentlemen. I am not here to comment on this current podcast. However, it sounds like Valor, I am reaching out to you, Frogman, or frogmen. There is a pod cast that goes by red owl. I just listened to about 15 short stories narrated by some dude, I don't like stories about anybody or anything. These stories are about navy seals and what I would describe engaging with cryptic creatures. I was not a navy seal. However, running and leaving teammates when under attack. I like to believe that a seal will never leave a fight and leave his team. You might get ahead of to whom it may concern, ok 🐸 Frogman, this guest grew up south of me, Adios for now. I'm out.
Wierd, I am subscribed but you never show on my feed.

And there is no 16, or 12… there is no scandal to control me with. Save those that attacked me.
Yeah well, here in the real world you learn how to be a leader throughout the normal course of your career, and when you’re old and pissed off and hate everyone you become a manager and create new leaders… usually through abuse.
Reminds me of taekwondo class. The yellow stripe doesn’t want to teach the white belt the kata, not very good at it either… but there he is, against all odds.
