I was always down for the cause with my boys. Fight clubs, skate parks, beer runs. Anything to have a good time. Too bad for me I got into some trouble and got put on a 5 year probation.

No matter the struggle the pain the hurt we need to drive on and be strong for ourselves and for those who need us and count on us everyday. Stay strong and hit me up if you ever need anything.

I will say that this podcast has really made me reevaluate myself as a father of two young boy's and a daughter.

What a podcast, I would never imagine myslef watching a podcast that lasts for 5 hours, 49 minutes and 30 seconds. Not only I watched every second and some parts for a few times, but also every second was loaded with action, lessons, intensity, humbleness, drama and pure humanity. What a motivating peace of art. Thanks for Jocko and Tim for such a masterpiece that can easily be made as a movie, especially the last evac mission. After 30 years of martial arts, I started recently JiuJitsu, tore my bicep tendon and had a short break. Guess what, watching the first 10 minutes of this piece, I felt ashamed to stay put, had to carry my bag and go for another two back to back sessions, Karate. and Jiu jitsu, may be I had some more adrenaline to have a short cardio session. Thanks for the motivation folks. Keep Punchin.

A quick thing Tim mentioned here that I've talked about with family and friends, is about the people who say they want a revolution in the U.S. I've read so many comments on KZbin videos over the years from people saying they want a revolution or second civil war where we're divided by political left and right and winner takes all. As a Marine Infantry combat vet I must say a vast majority of these people have no idea what they're asking for. No one should wish for war. The effects of combat never leave those who actively participate or are directly affected by it.

I can confirm. I’ve worked in two states as a Law Enforcement Officer. I have worked in the tidewater area of Virginia and the pan handle of Florida. During the academy in Florida, they taught more BJJ related defensive tactics. Getting choking unconscious, was a requirement for us to pass DT in Florida. It was also a taught tactic. In Virginia, after George Floyd, they outlawed RNC and have categorized it as lethal force. Using it without justifiable lethal force, is considered excessive force and is a felony. Virginia also outlawed us putting our knees on peoples backs while handcuffing prone suspects. Knee across the shoulder blades is a perfectly safe behavior. Its when used excessively that it can cause damage, just like every tool provided to Law Enforcement officers. Policing, has turned into a joke. Promotions are based on politics, criminals are protected, DAs let criminals off to victimize innocent people daily. I’ve always wanted to be a cop growing up and now I’m trying to get out. 5 years of experience which I can’t use anywhere else.

I got to know jocko from Tim and Jocko podcast from 2016 which was the year after I graduated High school. 2012, I came as an immigrant and worked so hard that I would pray to God every to just let me die. I was mentally defeated, exhausted and lost. After founding out jocko I slowly began to turn my life around, I learned to love and appreciate the freedom I enjoy in this greatest country. It took few years to practice Extreme ownership but slowly and surely my life changed and people around me recognized that change. I joined the US. Army and went to Community college. Then I transferred over to a State university, received my US citizenship through the Army and did everything I can to do make the most out of all things I did . I competed in the Best warrior competition at the highest level possible I got accepted to Dental school with 5% acceptance in my first time. I call jocko my 2nd Jesus because I was born again after I found Jocko. Jocko may never know how much I thank and appreciate all he has done for me but I just want to say ; Jocko Thank you so much.

The high road is indeed very difficult to travel especially for the ego, only the best human beings get to it and stay on it, kudos to Tim for finding his way to it, as a genXer i'm still struggling to get there but these real life stories do help.
