Jocko Podcast 216 w/ Echo Charles: Why You Should Never Give Up. The Memory Endures, by Reg Curtis 

We stay in the best era my man. Read Sun Tzu and Adam Smith to get the depth of what's available

Way to go man. That's some very good choices for a MAN your age!

Sun Tzu was an idiot. Don't waste your time.

Grant Cardone is a bit of a prick. Be better than him. 👍

Grant Cardone is a scientologist i believe and also a bit of a prick dont listen to him.

Mandatory watching for anyone going on a military history binge. Spectacular film.

Jerry A Up there was some fine British World War II movies for sure! The fox hunting horn on the bridge is a great scene

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does the expression "super novel" means?

@@kevinz2738 Super novel = Very new/unknown

@@kevinz2738 A definition of "novelty" is: a small and inexpensive toy or ornament. So in this case I think Mere Mortals's comment meant that "no factor" seemed like somewhat of a gimmick at first, but proved to be more useful than they expected.

Thank you both.

Other 2 comments basically nailed it. Novel means new and the super part was just for emphasis.

This is my church

Dam Strait

Oooh i get it now. British and other countries don't like Americans because they don't think they deserve their power for how new we are. Tell me if im wrong and explain why. !(THIS WAS FOR A DIFFERENT COMMENT)!

vAult b0y24 Truelock what ? nothing of what you said corresponds to the original comment, regardless, are these facts your pointing out or just a feeling you have ?

U ain't got nothing to complain about period.

@@suncity22001 oh lol took me a week and someone likeing the comment to realize i meant to put this on a different comment lol, pretty much just a theory of experience with different podcast/Comments sections. I also met a kinda diverse group of online people that i played Gta5 online with for almost a month who i became friends with and talked to, played games together. But as soon as the group as a whole found out that i was american, the mood changed very quick and they really kinda stopped talking to me in the chat . And one of them flipped on me over a race because d-sync showed on there screen that i crashed into her but i didn't. It wasn't just people from England also one of them a guy from Ireland who really despised me after i told them where i lived. Weirdest and most awkward thing i ever experienced.

You're one extremely superbly great liar.

It's your own goddamned business to see how far you can go...but if you're feeling lucky.... I'll let you know when I buy the clear headed very dominant Czech DDR German Shepherd with Protection training and the Caucasian Ovcharka I want. Then you can attempt to enter my property or vehicle. 😂😂🤣🤣😂

@@jenniferdana5665 you won't do it so no one else can?

@@lewis6590 I'll do it. Then show and tell about what I did.

Echo is not in the military

Because MOST people are not in search of and can not handle real truth

Jewels M I guess your dad had seen so much horror he couldn’t imagine his daughter (or son) having to go through the sane heart aching experience. When my grandfather (a Scottish WW2 Veteran) found out I joined the army was upset that I joined the army (I volunteered and my grandfather was conscripted). He died the year I served in Iraq and never had the opportunity to share my experience with him, however in retrospect I realised why he was upset with my choice. I’m in two minds in regards to my service in that it was the best and worst of my life. At the end of the day I volunteered and the outcomes are on me. I think your dad was trying to protect you, rightly or wrongly that’s beside the point. Look I’m happy I made the choice to serve but I have paid a huge life price for the privilege.

@@garydaly My father actually didn't talk about the horror aspects of war concerning my own service. As a woman back when I wanted to enlist women were not in battle or front line positions. And I wanted to go air force to work as a controller in a tower and I'd scored well on the ASVAB in that area. I felt I could translate this to a civilian career. His concern had to do with a stereotype from his generation that enlisted women were not always of high moral character concerning adult relations. In other words his concern was for what he considered my right and future role as a wife and mother. Times have changed obviously. He did talk to me later about his experiences - once for a report for school and then later in his life when I was in my late 40's and 50's. His stories really did point out how fragile the line is between right and wrong when you see what people will do on a battle field, some necessary and right for the mission, some selfish and evil for personal gain. Thank you for your reply! I appreciate it.

I think some people are not conscious of their failure to separate the people making policies from the people carrying them out. It's easy to believe from the outside that every soldier agrees with and believes in the war they are fighting. And when that's not the case, I think that is then even harder to understand for many people.

@@lewis6590 Thank you - good thoughts.

There were some other languages involved, too.

@La Catrina Dunkirk wasn't English speaking ground. And in 1776 no English peaking ground was lost. Except some people asked or French help...

@La Catrina The American Revolution boils down to one group of Brits with the help of the French fighting the B Team of the British Army in a competition of 'who can be the most British'. Try reading some actual historical sources rather than mass-market paperbacks. Start with the Founding Fathers.

A nap? What's that?

@@that1electrician Afternoon nap,cat on my lap,1:30hour nap.

Pride comes before the fall my friend

Mario Mario join the military as an enlisted man. I am positive you will find you have a lot to fucking prove. I mean that with all respect. Not as an officer but as a grunt, on the ground, cleaning the shit in the field, awake for days on end, taking orders from self deluded fuckwits, taking on challenges, boredom, stress, comradeship and giving yourself everything you have for nothing but your own decision to give up 4 years of your life. You will hate yourself for making enlisting almost daily, however it’s the only place where you will get to appreciate the joy of having two minutes to take a shit, drink dirty water to soothe your parched thirst, make friends with freaks and mad fucks you would never get to meet on your life. It’s a hard l, contradictory and positive life experience. You will know when you leave after your service how fucking awesome the brief periods of comradeship and teamwork will stay with you for the rest of your life. If you are serious, join the military and work yourself up from recruit to soldier. You will regret every second but you will live on the positive power for decades to come. (Ex soldier and Iraq veteran)

High school isnt hard? Yeah, thats kinda the point. The bar in high school is to not leave as an immediate drain on society. It's great you're doing well but why settle for such a low standard to measure yourself by?

Proverbs 12:10

I like jocko, but he seems to be very pro navy/army and I doubt he would have someone on that is as negativity towards that due to what happened, I like jocko, but he probably will avoid that.

Lost with Dan I agree ... he’s too political

Adam 1 then get on the right one

Uro MOB I understand, but you’d have to quit, first.

chubbyurma And how, exactly, does one discern between finding you’re on the wrong path and giving up? Jocko seems to think that all the guys who quit BUD/s just gave up on their dreams of becoming a SEAL, whereas I think that some of them just woke up and realized that they didn’t belong there.

chubbyurma Agreed, but I’m not sure that Jocko makes the distinction. That’s my problem.

Use common sense guys

Never.
