It got real tactical real quick
Fuck yeah lol
Like every other jocko podcast
Hahaa you got me there
I love how Warrant Officer Pozzi always refers to Jocko as "Commander" or "Sir" throughout the entire podcast. Some old respects die hard.
1:03:30 "I'm going to talk about the M16 if you don't mind, Commander." XD ...Even got a chuckle out of Jocko after that one.
In totally blown away by this. Pozzi was my history teacher in my junior and senior year. I see him regularly at church, and he's never mentioned to me he was on Jocko until today. Bill Pozzi is one of the greatest men I know, and even as a stupid ass high schooler, I saw that greatness and sacrifice he made. I was honored to have been taught by him and honored to laugh with him as a man these last few years. A blessing to be sure.
I feel you brother. Truly a wise and beautiful soul and a blessing to know the guy. He taught me my junior and senior year as well and I could not be more grateful.
I would love to have Mr Pozzi as a teacher. Thanks Jocko and Echo for continuing to honor these Vietnam era vets. Please keep having them on the show.
2nd this! We could use a whole Vietnam podcast

Damn that’s tough
My 14 year-old son goes to sleep at night listening to Jocko's 3-hour bedtime war stories.
Yesssss keep the child's mind fed
Me too
Good lad!
I turn him on at high moments of stress... thought I was the only one! It’s so exciting to see young people grab on to this!!
Exactly
I was amazed at how many Vietnam Vets served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Vietnam vets are some of the most badass mofos around. Had the pleasure of speaking to one at work the other day.
Met an old Vietnam vet once and the only thing he said was "i remember my buddies legs being blown off just below the knee on both legs" 😱 . Shit hurt his soul
Warrant Officer Pozzi should serve as an example as someone that makes things happen without regard for who gets the credit. Imagine what a great world we would live in with more people like that.
...He's like...a decentralized exchange using privacy coins...
That's the Eisenhower school of leadership - when you achieve something, give your troops all the credit. When they screw up, take all the blame.
He us what I call a scrounger and a hustler ( in a good way ) to be able to get things done . Awesome 👏

NEGA THE TRUTHS
This guy would be the coolest grandpa ever.
Stay the course, discipline is freedom.
"American Graffiti" with Ron Howard! such a great movie
"REEEALLY?!" -- I've caught myself saying this a handful of times now after listening to this absolute legend of a man.
I loved this podcast, COMMANDER.
That was a privilege to listen to this man.
He is like the warrants I knew in the 90's Army....the most dynamic and awesome officers ever!
My grandfather was in Vietnam . Served as a frogman underwater bomb disposal and demolition . I swear I remember him speaking that name from storied as a child . Bill possi . I wonder if they knew each other. Crazy.
I think Bill's humility is what makes this one so good. Just a really likeable guy.
In class 46 this fella Bill Pozzi was a master at cadance calling, his voice was booming and in stride as we ran the sand dunes and beach of the silver strand. Many of the verses were Pozzi originals.
For some reason I always key in on the greeting that the guest and Jocko exchange. This one really made me smile. And that this warrior still says, "yes, sir," really gets me. Thanks Jocko and Mr Pozzi.
Thank you so much, Jocko & Echo for this great interview with Warrant Officer Bill Pozzi (USN), American Hero.

If at all possible, please also consider interviewing Lt Stewart "Stu" Smith (USN). His legendary book, "The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness" helped many SEALS (including Astronaut Jonny Kim) successfully prepare for BUD/S.
Thank you again.
“I don’t help orphans. I make orphans.” 😂😂
Bill “I couldn’t hook the D ring up on Apollo”
Jocko “have you learned jiu Jitsu”
Really good podcast getting the warrants perspective and he still maintains the decorum and respect for officers by addressing Jocko as Commander.
Proud to know you @billpozzi. You're an American hero.
I wish folks like Bill could stick around forever. It'll be a sad day when that generation is gone. Great podcast. Thank you.
Probably one of my favourite episodes to date. It's just nice to listen to that experience and those stories. Been laughing hard a few times!
A simple Good Evening... is the most badass straight to the intro point there is.
The issue with the Jocko Podcast is that I think I can just casually listen, in the background, while I try to work but in reality I find myself coming back to the podcasts to watch.
Lol glad I am not the only one
Check
I’ve always been curious how these guys felt about us Submariners 😂 love how Warrant just blows by all of the aspects about combat, such as bullets, blood, and explosions that terrifies people and cuts to all of the fun to be had by all 👊🏼
I still keep the story of Micheal Monsoor close to me... I didn't know the man but he was the ultimate human and what we as species must thrive to be.. thanks for listening.
Truly blessed to have been taught by Mr. Pozzi 🙏🏽
Jocko and Echo are right he did make every trial sound like it's nothing. That's the warrior mentality
One of the best ones yet. Warrant Officer Pozzi is so full of life and wisdom that is incredibly infectious. Awesome.
Jocko on Hollywood actors/actresses is the best thing I’ve heard in awhile. 😂 Spot onnn.
Grey headed warrior in the feature seat...again. Check. Thanks Jocko, Echo!
2:30:50 This guy is excellent. Great attitude toward life. I'm not a supporter of unnecessary/untenable war, but I think he knows some amazing shit. Worth listening to until the end.
Just got to hang out with Warrant Officer Pozzi the other day, great man. Always good getting to spend some time with this caliber of a person.
Seeing a Native American vet and/or reviewing a Native American book on there culture of war would be the next big thing
Episode 45
This man is an encyclopedia & treasure trove of military & life experiences! What fascinating life experiences & such a respectful, strong, & humble SEAL!!!! Another GR8 Jckopod!!! HOOOAAAH
I’d really love to see some of the “inter-war” guys. Guys who were in during the 70s, 80s, 90s. These guys would’ve seen action in some really interesting, little-known conflicts/trouble spots - Beirut, Grenada, Panama, 1st Gulf War, Somalia, Bosnia, etc.. They were also around for the development of counterterrorist units like Delta and Team 6 (pre-DEVGRU). It would be great to hear their stories, plus stories from any of Jocko’s mentors in the Teams.
I don't think jocko realizes how much we love when he chuckles
Thank you Warrant Officer Pozzi.
Thanks Jocko and Echo...
Epic stories
"You just show up on Monday... we'll take care of you." ...great line.What a great podcast! Checked out the nasa apollo 12 splashdown to see the man himself in action
'Should I bring a school bag?'
One of the best podcasts. Bill Pozzi is as cool as you can get. Great sense of humor also.
The coolest part for me was his Apollo stories...now, that's freaking awesome. War stories are great, but Bill got to be involved in human history...so damn cool.
this guy was awesome, It's the journey, not the destination
We need more people like Mr. Bill Pozzi in our country! What an American Hero!
As a Submarine Veteran, you are right on the money! I thought we were "different"! I always admired SEALs. We both had a purpose and both lived on the tip of the spear! GOD BLESS BROTHER!
Pozzy is a legend. At 65 I just got schooled. Im still a kid ! Throw me off the boat.!
Haha! We called the Humvee insertions a "L.A.N.O." insertion, low altitude no opening, lol! Great podcast, you are both awesome warriors!
The movie they were talking about with Ron Howard at about the 12-minute mark is called American Graffiti
Directed by George Lucas too, another motor head lol.
George Lucas went to Modesto High School in Modesto California, which used to have Friday night cruising on McHenry Boulevard, and also had an annual Graffiti Night.
What an amazing man and legend!
If they gave medals for "getting it done" were available Bill Pozzi would get one. Being the best scrounger in the teams should be recognized.
Thanks for having this American on the show, made me smile at his stories.
Jocko u rock! U think , feel and know. Thanks!
This frickin guy 😂 Love the story about the nunnery / orphanage... hilarious! That aside, thank you Officer Pozzi for your service. What a life... wow.. thank you for sharing your story.
I really appreciate the Jocko podcasts. I am truly a better man, father, and employee as a result of listening. Last summer my company had some personnel changes, and I got a new boss. He was a monster. My stress and anxiety was so bad I broke out in hives, and had trouble eating and sleeping. I never complained. I just did my best to implement the knowledge and lessons from the Jocko podcasts. One day, out of the blue, the company president called me on my personal phone and said something to the effect, "Hey Steve, I know this guy treats you like shit, and I think you have endured enough. I am going to move you into a new slot in the company, with a new chain of command." My mind went blank for a moment, then I replied, "Hell no, Sir, that son of a bitch is not going to run me out of my job." He was stunned, and truly appreciated my willingness to stick it out. The end result is, I got a bonus, a raise, and learned new skills, and, oddly enough, developed a positive relationship with the SOB.
After 26 years in the Navy , I be retiring soon , when I think I have done enough, I see this two beautiful and great warriors and I think to myself man, have I done enough? “Everyone needs a mission” great words!
"If you can think you're dangerous, stay dangerous." Bill Posey. Outstanding, valid advice.
Thank You Warrant Officer
been pacing waiting.. thank you sir!!!
I love this podcast! I have listened several times! 👊💯
I want to finish this. I'm too old for 2 am. 2 month old is draining me. Respect to all who've served.
one of my favorite episodes!
One of my top ten Jocko podcasts. And that's saying alot
I watch ALOT of UA-cam these days, lol. I don't watch TV at all anymore. Books, or interviews, documentaries etc. on UA-cam. I've always liked Jocko's show. I have to say, this one of the best interviews I've seen. Great guest. Excellent show.Good stuff. Thank you for your service too guys.
Thank you for your service
This was great, thank you!
Great episode had to listen to again.
I listen to your podcasts when I do art and I think you are phenomenal. I hope to become an airman some day, and listen to your motivational videos whenever I work or draw. The utmost respect to you Mr. Willink.
Full respect for this man
Awesome 3 plus hours… thank you!!
This has to be one of the most inspirational videos I've watched. Excellent.
When he said I'm in the engine room turning a wrench. I had flash back of 1MMR on the Kitty HAWK. Great times but it was hell 6x6 for almost 3 years.
loved the brief surfing history in the beginning of this episode yewwww!
Great episode to listen to tonight while at work!
This man is awesome!! Another great podcast boys!! Respect!
American Graffiti is the film they can't remember at the beginning--great film, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfus, etc.
💯 true and life is short. Never get old. It cripples you. Kids need us.
old pbr 50 gunner here...did lots of insertions...didn't know swift boats were doing canal work. great podcast...thanks
What a great story teller. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
This guy is probably one of the most funny and down to earth guys I seen in this podcast 💪🏼🤙🏻😂
Lots of badass in the room, and even more humility.
Best interview Ever!
Jocko has the best Guests
Posey was my swim buddy in 46 and a lot of the things we did were crazy fun. We are losing guys at an alarming rate and it needs to be documented!❤
I highly recommend everyone to watch "generation kill". Absolutely amazing depiction of the recon marines invading Iraq.
The book was great!
I watched on HBO years ago. One of my favorites ever. Love that show
@@bayarea757 Im obsessed with Military tactics and Military shows lol. Band of Brothers and the Pacific are the 2 best but generation kill was just as good as either of the other 2 but the time frame isn't isn't as compelling.
CANT FUCKING WAIT for Masters of the Air to come out at the end of the year! Same people behind the other 2 are now doing a series on the Army Air Force during WW2.
Screwby
Best podcaster on earth! Thank you Sir!
This guy is a freaking trip, I love him.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring story & true super hero Posey 🇺🇸 a humble man , strong as the California Live Oak Tree. The same tree Jocko & Echo Charles were carved from ❤️🔥👍
I got a good laugh at his comments about hippies. Not so different than what we see today.
@Mike Baxter Even worse is that a lot of them are in "leadership" roles in the government.
We are living with fake hippies who love violence now. They are known as antifa and blm.
Thank You!
I bet this guy is a great teacher. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it.
As always a masterpiece of a podcast
Fascinating story
Spent Memorial Day with my Dad, 2 time purple heart recipient, screaming Eagle Vietnam Vet. Also rubbed elbows with WWII Vets. Memorial Day means 5 things to me, honor, god, country, valour and sacrifice, I personally could care less about the burgers and hotdogs. Awesome podcast.
Amazing man and an amazing teacher!
Fantastic interview. Really interesting gentleman. Fascinating to hear another Vietnam veteran who also served in Iraq. Those guys are truly beyond amazing. 🇺🇸 💪
