Chris Cassidy is currently ALONE on the US section of the International Space Station. How crazy is that? I really enjoyed speaking with him and Jonny. I started this process thinking the Seals probably focus on the ability to overpower the enemy and smash things, but it turns out humility and the ability to work on a team is by far the most important attribute. You can follow Chris and Jonny on twitter and Instagram (I'll put the links in the description). Thank you to those who are supporting Smarter Every Day on Patreon!

(I should know, because I got my truck license back in the 1990ies in the Austrian military, when The Powers That Be (in their infinite wisdom) decided that being able to drive trucks would be another useful skill for a young and energetic sergeant being trained to become a Special Recce operative.)

Man, this was so interesting. And I saw in one of the comments that Jonny had done another podcast with Jocko (who I had heard of, but didn't remember anything about). Saw a random comment about how his father abused his family and was ultimately shot by police in his house before Jonny enlisted. And I just finished listening to all 4 and a half hours of that interview. Wow. I take Jonny at his word when he says he's not the smartest or the strongest person, but he is certainly one of the most impressive. But he has both an intensity and a humility that shine through at all times. I was somewhat demotivated when I realize he's only a little older than me.. but seeing how he has approached overcoming obstacles from abuse to being shot at to medical school, I find it energizing to think that it's all about just setting one achievable goal at a time. Step by step by step. Even I can do that.

[@magics902]

If you've played call of duty: modern warfare 2 , the hostage rescue mission in the arctic oil rig, they use the Seal delivery vehicle to get to the oil rig from the submarine.

"I only recommend this book for adults" 26yo me: Oh G, i shouldn't read it.

[@HickLif3]

Honestly, most people 16 and up should read those types of books. They need to learn history, the good and the bad, no sugar coating, as young as possible and appreciate what has been done for them.

[@supercargalaxy8233]

I read that book in the 6thgrade and that's why I joined the US Marine Corps. It's exactly the kind of book young men should read nowadays. The amount of integrity, energy, commitment and dedication these men have is inconceivable to 98% of the population.

[@HickLif3]

SUPERCAR GALAXY when I told my family I wanted to be a SEAL when I was 10 my grandfather, a Navy vet himself, gave me a couple spec ops books from all branches and said “read these and then decide if that’s still what you want to do”. It took the glamour out of it and put what they do into perspective. It didn’t change my mind but in-fact fueled me. However, shortly after I enlisted I was told I was partially color blind and I couldn’t do anything other than rescue swimmer in the spec ops community and since I didn’t have ANY other plans for my life I went ahead and went in as a seabee.

[@supercargalaxy8233]

@@HickLif3 The seebees are great. I worked with a few seebees when I was an ironworker they were awesome to work with we had a great crew drank like fish when work was over then did it all again the next day. Rogue warrior was the other favorite book when I was in school.

[@medabos21]

Thanks Destin, for sharing about Navy Seals and Astronauts on the ISS. Although, Chris, Jonny and you have had accomplishments that have been seen an admired by many people as you each strive to serve others in your own way, I realize that serving others is something we all can accomplish everyday. No matter our current circumstances.

[@danfadden]

My favorite Smarter Every Day episode by far. Walked away with a great sense humility, and pride. Not for anything I’ve accomplished, but for the pride I feel as an American. And knowing that these amazing men and women represent the best of the best the United States has to offer. And they do it extremely well. Thanks Dustin for doing what you do, and showing people that if you have the right mindset and humility, there is nothing you can’t do or accomplish. Especially when you know that you can count on the person next to you.
