Could you get Clint Emerson on the podcast? He was in SEAL team 3, DVGRU (team 6) and an agent for the NSA. He is the author of 100 deadly skills, a book that teaches skills for survival.

[@TheXabl0]

Is Jocko ACTUALLY more relaxed without Echo or is Echo SO relaxed that he makes Jocko seem tense?

[@midlife3581]

Dichotomy

[@onlycasual1]

His demeanor changes depending on the guest. Obviously he's gonna be more relaxed with a buddy on the podcast than someone he met the first time that morning. It's normal human behavior.

The dynamic will naturally be different between certain people, especially since these guys went to war together.

[@christianmadden1301]

Good deal Dave?

[@soapalot]

Top Shelf content here. Dave makes a great sounding board for Jocko; he has succinct and insightful contributions to the conversation. This episode was richer because of his inclusion.

"A battalion is made of up individuals, the least important of whom may chance to delay things or make them go wrong." - Carl von Clausewitz In other words: "Leeroyyyyyyy Jeeeeeeenkiiiiiiiins!"

[@andrewmeschter3205]

...and Dave's summaries are priceless. The Marine Corps perspective feels more relatable and less esoteric than the SEAL perspective.

[@jzo08]

I do miss Echo, but it is a nice change with a casual conversation between two people who have seen war first-hand. Great podcast!

[@andrewmeschter3205]

This conversation is ehffing brilliant. Jocko moves through the text line by line like a preacher teaching scripture.

[@ally9953]

I started from episode 1 now I'm in 33. Still got a ways to go. The more I listen, the more I feel patriotic and proud to be an American. I used to wake up at 6 am, Now I'm up at 5am. Get some!

[@LRRPFco52]

Patton was really good at recognizing windows of combat opportunities and exploiting them with intense focus and speed, pushing his forces to reach higher than they had before and accomplish objectives that were thought to be unobtainable by his peers and superiors. I also think it's good to start out your IADs and playbook with 3 well-rehearsed drills, then expand to 5 and practice them often. Once you get into a combat rhythm and the enemy adapts to that rhythm, you can switch to another approach he wasn't expecting and throw him off base again so that you're constantly inside his decision-making process until he is spent.

[@LuistheABF123]

Any chance you can get Nate Fick on the podcast?

[@matthewkornder5586]

Great episode. I downloaded the pub and followed along. My Marines will be listening and reading this deployment.

[@liveupmatt]

WOW the difference between Tactical and Strategic gave me an entirely new lenses to look at the world with. Being pretty competitive I have a hard time backing down - even when tactically I lose leadership capital to get a victory.

Another great one! The clear sheet over the map? Acetate! 😂 The writing was symbology rolled into IPB.... used to geek out so hard over all of it.

[@troym33]

One thing I absolutely hated during my four year in the Corps was the phrase “don’t ask why!” If you weren’t a robot and you asked why we were doing something a certain way then you were labeled immediately. Toward the end of my enlistment I didn’t mind Marines asking me why we were doing something. I wanted them to understand the overall objective so they could think on their feet if something went wrong and make a judgment call on what to do next to meet said objective. I hope the Marine Corps is getting out of that mentality and it sounds like they are.

[@samgraham2110]

32:32 A good point to that comes from the book "The Mission, Men, and Me" by Pete Blaber. The author discussed the lack of situational context that comes from gaining intelligence from simple satellite images. The author also added that it is outright dangerous to commit troops against an enemy without developing the situation and context through thorough ground reconnaissance. Gotta talk to the guys on the ground.

[@DanielBarron45]

Echo needs his own pod.

[@goodfoot7926]

The things that makes Americans great at combat is the individualism of the American soldier to think outside of the box on his own to overcome the enemy without having to get approval from higher ups in the command chain that dictatorial, communist or socialist governments demand of their forces because that they are conscript forces or lack of trust of their own command structure.

Maybe start with taking them to lunch and asking them what's wrong. See if they'll open up in a non judgmental/off the record environment. You can't address a problem if you don't know the problem.

Planet Matt put them in charge. Involve them in the planning phase of the mission/task. Build a relationship with them. OR just fire them now before they compromise the mission. It’s a dichotomy.

Of war is not a prescripted event, how does art of war work its self into what they're talking about. I'm probably missing something but I would appreciate a response from someone who is more educated/qualified to explain. Thnx

[@JoCo480]

The art of war is a rough overview but in it is wrote that if one know every aspect of oneself and this and that victory is certain but the ultimate truth is that no one person can predict the future with absolute certainty, so I think sun Tzu was perhaps an idealist who even though strategically intelligent believed in the art too much ignoring the chaos of the real world.
