Jocko Podcast 64 w/ Andy Stumpf: A Debt That Cannot Be Repaid. The Value & Cost of Freedom.

Andy Stumpf's articulation is just so... if he started a podcast, many would listen. He's someone I could enjoy listening to.

[@chars8772]

He has one. It’s called Cleared Hot.

[@markwurz8577]

Was this sarcasm? Did you not know about cleared hot? I can hardly tell if people are trolling or not on here but if you haven’t seen it, cleared hot is amazing. He has some really amazing guests from development group on there you normally wouldn’t hear from otherwise.

[@sgtrock2821]

Loved his answer about the prisoners at GITMO when he was on JRE with Tait Fletcher. Joe asked what about the prisoner that's been at GITMO for years? Do we send him back now? Andy says "No we kill him" Tait Fletcher says "you just killed Nelson Mandela" Andy's like "what"? Wrong. He's no Nelson Mandela smfh.

He has been an inspiration in my like telling it......How would a say a more modern way of saying the hard things ; the way my Grand-dad would tell me how to approach life.( God, Country, Family) The war stories remind me of my Grand-dad (Army Bataan Death march Survivor), and the times he would tell me bout those things(rarely) from time to time.

Mike brother hang in there, your body will heal, it just takes time and effort. Try to sleep 8hrs per day, go to bed early, wake up early. Eat nutrition dense foods. Move the limb or body part you have injured. Try some cannabis edibles for your pain control. If you are not disable or in too much pain workout hard 3-4 times per week in a cross training like setting. Dont give up.

[@sychophantt]

sorry to hear that and more sorry that you enlisted in the military

I've listened to Andy on a few different podcasts and interviews, this is the first time I've heard him talk about how he was injured and the first time I heard he was an officer. That is humility.

[@ruskiepanda]

Learning to be humble was one of the best things I learned so far in the military.

[@richardmathes4383]

The man is one of the most humble savages ever. SEAL team 6, a part of 2 very high profile rescues, etc., and constantly says he had an "average" military career. If average is doing what 95% of the military doesn't/can't, then sure, it was average. Haha. But it just shows his level of intelligence and maturity.

I needed this. It might be too much for such a public forum, but i have been having similar struggles as Andy since i was medically discharged, and daily i feel like nothing i will do will matter after being a warfighter, albeit a warfighter far less skilled than jocko or andy. it just made me realize that even in this struggle, i am not alone. Thank you Andy, Jocko, and Echo.

[@adolphsfuncampretreatforth4649]

Austin Buske you are not alone brother. I hope your still hanging on. Jocko and Tim Kennedy helped me get my warrior back. reawaken what was inside I pushed down. moving towards reenlistment now. I don't know your circumstances, nor do I know you but I am praying for you!

Semper fi, brother. We have to find things that matter, make them matter. The success of my family is what matters to me now. That means that I get up, train, eat, get to work and get home to make sure that the fam is moving forward. I pour my energy into that the same way I poured myself into the Marines.

[@ilikedirtx22]

[@Jack-yq6ui]

[@Helo1able]

52:40 I was injured in the line of duty in the mid nineties.... Almost 40 surgeries later, still not fixed. Chronic pain 24 hours a day. And find myself walking on a hospital floor by rooms with people a hundred times worse than me. Leaving that place telling yourself suck it up buttercup you have no right to complain, people have it a ton worse than you. I find the whole experience therapeutic as hell. God bless our service member's past and present, LEO's and 1st responder(s) everywhere.

[@erictheboringone5292]

I right around the same age as Andy. When he was signing that military contract I was getting kicked out of high school, dropping acid, smoking weed, selling drugs to make money to do drugs and just being a general malcontent. At least I became an Infantryman later in life and did my service.

[@MrHouse-fo1od]

Keep at it brother

[@rayrocker2112]

this is about a year late, but i have so much respect for you my brother. more respect than many people i can find in a comment section. i almost dropped out of high school and became a disappointment to my immigrant mother and family who came here for a better life for me. i was a loser and smoked weed and did nothing until one day something snapped- and i graduated high school in my last year with a 2.9 and am currently enlisting in the army as a 19D Cav Scout. its everyday folks like you who inspire me- god bless you my brother.

Two of my best spent hours in a very long time! The letter at the beginning is beyond remarkable . The story of overcoming injury and redirecting yourselves after injury and wounds kicked me in the backside. I have spent years wallowing in self pity and doubt over a medical disability that rocked my world but I CAN work around it. Thank you, I have been crushing nothing.

[@footdctrable]

Jocko, just listened to this one again. It is by far one of my favorite episodes. Andy has a way of being honest and humble at the same time. I'm sure I'll listen to this one many times more. Great episode.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE UP THEIR LIVES FOR US, FOR OUR FREEDOM. GOD BLESS THEM AND ALL WHO SERVED.

[@escapedfromnewyork]

I seriously don't get how people think that the military is fighting for "our freedom". That's just rubbish. Heresy? First off, I am a veteran, so I'm not anti- military. In fact, my eldest is a USMC Captain. Our guys in the military are some of the best and brightest our country has to offer, so it's not a knock on them personally. I love the guys I served with and always will, but..... There's no fighting for freedom. Take a good frigging look and tell me, heck tell YOURSELF that you're more free today than we were in 1980. Not a chance. Since 9/11, this country has become less and less free and it's getting worse. The military is full of great guys, but they aren't keeping anyone free

[@stigmsr1]

Every podcast is my favorite podcast. It's an honor to hear stories from real heroes.

By the tone in which they say "East Coast Team" he was in DEVGRU? Disregard found answer. Continue.

[@lostwithdan4331]

Andy was a legit Team 6 guy, that is why they are not specific on east coast west coast/devgru ect.

[@Chatter76]

Indeed, he was gold squadron back in the day

[@payback_carter]

Incorrect. Andy was at DevGru early in the GWOT. Gold Squadron. Jocko was ST1&ST3 in his career. But never 6.

[@ivanvargas7893]

Why don't they bring up Team 6, Andy was in it for a while

[@payback_carter]

This was back before Andy had made the rounds on the podcast circuit and started his own podcast. Early on he didn't dive too deep into the fact he was with the Command. He still doesn't really dive too deep into his DEVGRU time other than when he got wounded and a few other key missions.
