Pat Macnamara is one of the baddest men on the planet! He goes hard everday yet is able to relate the training to everyday situational awareness.This is one of the best episodes yet!
Thanks for having Pat Mac on the podcast. I really enjoyed hearing his story.
I was hoping you could give me some advice…every time I seem to develop a plan to better my life I let the people around me pull me from the path weather it directly effects them or not. I am in the Guard and planned on going to college after basic and AIT but when I got home I was convinced to rather get an entry level job doing something I didn’t want to do. I recently got back from a deployment with the same goals on return but once again I let the people around me convince me to not do so and to get another entry level job that I have no interest in. I had planned and planned while I was gone on what I was going to do and how I was going to do it but once I got home I allowed myself to be convinced against it once again. When I am with the men in my unit, they build me up and push me to do what I want to do, but when around my family, they seem to have little or no confidence in me and I just don’t know how to deal with it or get past it. Another thing I’ve always wanted to do was become a SEAL but I was, once again, convinced to do something “more obtainable” and feel that I am wasting my life because of it. I have roughly 3 years left in my contract before I can try something outside the Guard but by then I will be 27. I just don’t know how to overcome these things in my life to finally do what I fell I need to do.
