Jocko,
I have just recently started listening to the podcast and I’m doing my best to get on the path. I have gone through life so far with multiple up and down swings with exercise and self-discipline. At the age of 36, I truly want to dedicate myself to getting and staying on the path. My question is not for me though, it is for my children. I am fortunate to be the father of two wonderful daughters. I plan to order Way of the Warrior Kid and incorporate it into their reading. I was wondering, however, have you ever considered making an edition of the book from a female perspective? Obviously, the lessons and values would remain the same, but being able to identify with the main character is something that I think resonates with children and I am sure there are a lot of people out there in similar parent circumstances (i.e. daughter households) that would opt for such an edition if it existed. Just a thought. Again, I really appreciate the podcast and I look forward to every episode.
Speaking of morning routine and gettin some fluids into the machine, my way is to have lukewarm water with lemon juice and spoon of honey, that is what I call a proper starter for a day… love the podcast! Regards, a fan from Czech Republic!
Dear Jocko, I am 22. I successfully own and operate a Landscape design company out of Chicago. I have almost completed an associates in Fire Science and am on the track to securing a full time job as a fire fighter/paramedic in the very near future. I love what I do now and am confident and driven however, since I graduated high school my passion has been (or at least what I believe I to to be) to become a Navy SEAL. I have talked to recruiters in the past about special warfare and other Specops oppurtunities and want to know what advice you have for someone in my situation trying to make that ultimate decision. Thank you for your time.
Respectully,
Nathan Debs
With all the Dan Crenshaw stuff in the news I feel like the elitist punk rocker when I say, “I heard this guy on Jocko Podcast back in March . . .”
Jocko,
Cheers mate, good stuff on these podcasts. I recently bought the book, loved it and am not hooked on the podcast. Not a former military man myself but am a big fan of military history. That said, I find your messages far more than just “military jargon”. Your lessons and takes can be used in daily life. It matters little to me what you did, ie..Seal Teams. That only serves as evidence that what you are saying holds water, given you achieved that feat.
I do have some more general questions I would love for you to answer. It seems difficult to get these answers from most in the teams and I find it possible to answer these in a respectful manner without casting any shade toward other teams guys. Would love to learn more if you are so inclined!
1. What is your take on Seal Team 6 and much of the publicity they’ve received over the past 5 years or so? Do you think that’s been beneficial for the teams or potentially more harmful?
2. Did you personally ever consider attempting to join up with Team 6? I am always interested to hear the stories of guys and their thought process. Having been a leader, one might assume it was a possibility for you at some point. Would love to hear your thought process there.
3. What is the primary difference you see between Team 6 and let’s say…..Team 3 that you were familiar with? Do you even see much of a difference?
