Jocko Podcast 121 w/ Echo Charles - The Life Of Chesty Puller

[@m.d.bishop1244]

I love the way Jocko talks about the Marine Corps even though he is apart of the most elite forces. It makes even prouder to carry the title US Marine. I think Chesty would have loved him. Semper fi

[@rc59191]

It makes sense the Navy and Marine Corps are apart of each other like the way the Air Force is with the Army. There never would have been one without the other.

[@BostonsF1nest]

“I’d like to see the face of every Marine I’ve ever served with” ... damn that is powerful. I almost shed a tear when he said that

My father was at Peleliu, with Captain Hunt's company, at the Point. He revered Colonel Puller, as did all Marines. There was a story about Puller, how he would always set up his CP at the front. According to this story he established his CP so far at the front he was actually behind the Japanese lines. The Japanese had to pull back to give him space...

When i was a boy I was told by a Marine about the legendary Chesty Puller. Many years later I was traveling and stopped for supper at a pizza place that had Marine memorabilia all over the walls. The owner an elderly gentleman came out to meet his guests. I asked if he was a Marine and thanked him for his service. I asked if he new Chesty Puller he was surprised I knew the story of Chesty. He then said "he was my best friend", we spent the next few hours looking at photographs of him and Chesty while they were deployed and listening to first hand accounts of their adventures. Easily one of the best days of my life. Thank you Chesty and all those who gave so much for our freedom God bless you all.

[@terrydossett7468]

In 1979 I was in a (Vietnam vets group started by President Carter etal.). One severely wounded Marine (who was a local hero,just a giant of a man) stated we should have Chesty Puller in charge. I made one of my stupid things and shot out Who Is Chesty Puller? Not being a marine I immediately found out who he was!! It was a painful night for me but I grew to love those marines and am proud to call them some of my dears friends. This and Fortune Son were great pod casts Thanks Jacko & Echo!

I read General Puller's biography. He had a lot of critical decisions that I still haven't resolved in my own conscience to this day, but he was experienced an knew what was right. I am grateful that he was chosen to make those choices to defend the citizens of the United States.

[@DutchFurnace]

I get that recon is not apart of SOCOM,but they have been doing SOCOM shit ever since SOCOM was created. same thing with the PJ'S. I guess the fellas that run the site are bias towards army/navy.

[@rockinmranch6895]

I often times think that SEALs were born of two fathers. The first father obviously was WW2 UDT Frogmen. But the second father surprisingly were WW2 USMC Raider Battalions. UDT owned everything up to the high tide mark. And the USMC Raiders owned everything over the beach. The raid of Makin Island using subs and inserting by rubber boats was a first in US combat. Any SEAL I think could look at that WW2 operation and nod in appreciation of the tactics used. So could any Recon Marine or modern Raider. Our current USN and USMC amphibious capabilities are without equal in the world today. And its all owed to those old timers who had to figure it all out while fighting an unmerciful zealous enemy that generally died to the man. And not just Raiders or Marine Infantry, but Corpsmen, and Boat Crews and all Sailors who risked their lives to get those guys onto the beach. To take the fight to the enemy.... Herculean effort! God bless em.

Was lucky to have read “Marine” at least 30 years ago. Time to reread it again for the third time. Good podcast,,,

[@0321recon]

I'm new to the Jocko Podcast and have only listened to 121 and 115. I was struck how these two podcasts connected. I listened to 115 first and cringed at how Dakota and Swenson struggled with staff types not on the battlefield, or even near it, forcing mission planning and execution conditions on them that got people killed. In 121 Jocko expertly explains how Chesty perceived the very same problems with staff and even battlefield commanders nearby the real fighting. Some things never change. I was a young recon marine in the late seventies, but after a long career in the USBP I deployed first with a Marine TT to Iraq based out of both Speicher and Habbaniyah and then to the AFG as a LEP embedded with an Army infantry platoon at Dand Wa Patan (BN calls them company minus but really it was just platoon plus), anyway same kinds of problems. North of us was a one gun 105 and we had an attached 120 mortar. I don't think anything short of an angles lightening bolt would have released fires for us if needed. Our air was often black and complicated by very high passes to either Salerno or Gardez. Thanks for the real review of history and personal experiences. Oh, and since you get recommendations on podcasts mine is to go over LCDR Albert Schaufelberger Class 65. He was talked about a lot when as a marine I went to Class 93 for the Scuba portion. Quite the story with much to be learned about his time and assassination in El Sal in the early 80s. Although six years earlier than Col Nick Rowe's assassination in the PI they seem connected somehow.

[@ghostscantkill]

This was extremely enjoyable because Chesty was so awesome, and Jocko got fired up over it. Which I think is cool. Jocko. You don't owe the world anything where sharing your combat stories goes; but it'd be really cool if you wrote Task Unit Bruiser. It'd be even cooler to make a four hour movie out of it. I'd buy it for $150.00! Fact Actual!
