Jocko Podcast 456: 1st Of The 506th. Protecting Our Way of Life. With Jason Kedzior.

[@joshuareed390]

Just started watching. Kedzior, you better be nice about me! I drove our gun truck, along with O.D.B. (Grant Hulburt). Miss you, brother.

[@derekcurless5898]

I Met Jason in high school, and he became one of my best friends. Got so much respect for the man he has become throughout the years! I can't confirm nor deny being at those parties with him lol

[@Orangecountybowhunter]

As a civilian I feel so ashamed I didn’t serve I graduated hs in 04 and was to scared to go these guys are my hero’s thank you for everything you’ve done for us civilians and our country

[@waterhead1027]

It doesn't matter how you're of service. There are disaster teams everywhere, volunteer fire departments, and on and on.

[@ExtraRice365]

Coach, teach, mentor the youth to be good citizens

[@AppalachianWrench]

I graduated in 04 as well and went to college a couple years before joining in 06. I get what you’re saying. Signing up pretty much guaranteed deployment back then.

[@Dillonmac96]

Smart to react to that fear in hindsight knowing the war was not for a good cause unfortunately no disrespect to the warriors

[@EpistemicAnthony]

​@Dillonmac96 well, it's not as simple as that. Did the politicians have good goals? No. But did the average soldier on the ground fight for a good cause? Yes, they did. They were there to protect the people they saw from extremists, and those people were grateful for it. Remember, the reasons of the politicians are not the reasons of the soldiers, and that matters just as much to what the "reason for a war" is.

[@Ciscogarcia86]

Was there in Ramadi, C company 1-506. I am proud to have served with all of these warriors.

[@theresateeters0104]

Thank you all for your service and what you did for us I love you all❤❤

[@MikeyMike-fb5hx]

10th Marines here and there in 05-06. Scariest time of my life. I still do this day have no clue who they got so many IED's on the road DAY AFTER DAY! We lost a lot of good warriors there in the fight for Ramadi. Anyhow, thanks for your sacrifice, Garcia!

[@kevinh9110]

@@MikeyMike-fb5hx Mike Sarraille, Delta Platoon ST3 Assistant OIC was a former enlisted recon Marine sergeant and said he was indoctrinated to hate the Army, but upon meeting the 1/506 as a SEAL officer thought "These guys are fucking good to go". Lol, as Jocko said: "Interservice rivalry is for peacetime"

[@lovemorgan-7]

Amen Jocko…the young E-1 to E-4/new E-5 marines, sailors, airmen, & soldiers; WO’s; & O-1 to O-3 pilots, commanders, etc. have been/are the heart of the U.S. military. After one makes E-6 to E-9 and/or O-4 to O-10, the job becomes training, equipping, and taking care of them in any way possible. Shout out to all of the DoD civil service employees that provide training, services, & continuity for our military service members as well! All the best…cheers!

[@mrn846]

as someone whos struggling today and for awhile seeing this the day im considering enlisting more than ever . it helps jocko thank u

[@MikeyMike-fb5hx]

It's a special brotherhood and bond.

[@BruceWorful]

Thanks to all who served. Past, present, future warriors.

[@johnmatrix4305]

Fellow Currahee here … I strongly encourage Jason to go down to Toccoa GA and run Currahee. They also have a small museum at Camp Toccoa and another one “downtown”. I go every year with other Currahees and we reflect and remember on our fallen Currahee brothers. There is really something special about being there and running Currahee - I hope you check it out Jason. Appreciate you sharing your story. Stands Alone !

[@whata86]

That’s awesome. How far is the currahee run?

[@johnmatrix4305]

It’s a bit over 6 miles

Echo with the perfectly executed Predator reference. Impressive

[@hannahgonterman3969]

If I could redo my life I would have signed those papers to serve in the navy. Thank you to all the men and women who have served our country ❤️

[@liamlynch2115]

He’s spot on about there always being a subtext of combat for boys in all situations. There’s a stress that mostly goes away when you get proficient in martial arts.

[@mathieugfroerer770]

Currahee! Great job with this Kedz. Summed it up well.

[@ecogreenlab.storee]

Discipline equals Fredoom. Thank you sir.

[@theresateeters0104]

[@manhalen7046]

Awesome episode, Rakkasan!

[@gaxosub4uhilton668]

man this podcast is fire! Jason is a little nervous at first but it was awesome seeing him and Jocko get into the groove of the conversation. the convo with him letting his 50. cal eat on that builiding with the armor piercing rounds. 3 o' clock to 6 was bad ass!

Respect to Jason McNamara, from another Jason in Mankato.

Question for the tactical folks/shooters in the comments. Would people be interested in a handmade wooden gear tree? (Made in USA, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business). I've been selling a ton, more in one-off situations, and wondering if I should scale up a bit? Would love to hear feedback

[@kevinh9110]

Losing most of your unit in the Iraq War just like in WW2 is crazy

[@4theluvofnitrous740]

Tried to join the marines but old medical kept me out, Tried navy after, they said no due to medical. Perfectly healthy, just adhd.... whatever, I would have been a hell of a soldier, God had other plans. U guys are lucky to have gotten to serve.

[@echoredfour]

Damn Echo good to know about the predator good info

I'm becoming intrigued with jujitsu. I'm a fit 68 year old who's been dedicated to working out, hockey, hiking, etc since 15 years of age. Am I too old to take up jujitsu? Any advice from anyone ?

Like Jocko said : "your never to old or to young to start jujitsu "

Jackie and your copilot is so interesting and I learned so much from you you tell the truth you don't buckle from it and your stories and the truth always comes out of your mouth and Joe Rogan needs to shut his mouth because I don't care if you're friends with him it doesn't matter to me I have my own opinion of him he is a I failed comic I failed fighter he was only good for narrating or describing what's going on in the ring you're telling me and if you tell me this and it's yes I I lost all respect for you you are better than Joe Rogan you have information that no one else has because of your background and if anyone's worth what this clown gets from Spotify 200 million which is absolutely absurd and that will take you out of reality in a fucking flash if he's worth 200 million you're worth 500 million and I don't think anyone's worth that kind of money and you know what everyone that has money has it done something shady and has left some bodies in their wake and that's not a guess it's a facttake the compliment and stop praising him or he helped me out oh he did this he didn't help you out you help your own self out give yourself credit and stop hanging out with people that are phonies
