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.

As some one with severe adult ADD, I find that of all of the things you would figure would create an attention deficit, it would be the long form interview/interrogation.

Time and time again I find myself coming up short in my dealings with my children or with my spouse, though I seem to have no issues dealing with the public.

[@thenricks5063]

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.

Always loved Tim, but damn he really is one of those high-level extremely gifted guys. Just hearing about his ability to do extremely well and to rise up the ranks very quickly shows you how great the guy truly is, but as with all greatness it is rooted in the humbling of the individual which prepared him for true greatness.. EDIT: Back watching the rest of the episode - 3:18:07 onwards - damn, both of them get really emotional here. You can tell that Jocko identifies totally with that passage he just read before. Probably most serviceman share that exact sentiment, war is tough man 😥

I must have been meant to find this podcast... I listened to Scars and stripes, then listened to Extreme Ownership here in the past 2 months. Out of nowhere find myself on this video just absolutely glued to it, listening intently as both of these two heroes just put emotions out there and talk about life. I loved it. Keep it up guys!

It's been a while since I've listened in to a podcast but I have to ask... Where's echo Charles?!? I hope he's okay... Not to discredit anyone else who's ever been on the show, but I like his personality lol

[@MountainTop750]

I like the fact that he reads from the book, it adds so much depth to these podcasts. Great idea 💡 Keep it coming guys.
