Jocko Podcast 331: Don't Just Stand There and Do Nothing. Look For Work. W/ Ben Milligan Pt.3 

As a former recon soldier and USAF officer, I know little about the Navy outside of NSW. These podcasts with Ben were amazing. I look forward to reading and hearing more from this talented writer and commentator / reporter of SEAL history. Thank you and keep it comin'!

I was dumb and never served but these podcasts are some of the most interesting ones I’ve watched. It’s a little hard to keep up with the people but still awesome information. Thanks fellas!!

That story about releasing Bob Gallagher's ashes was wondrous. What a way to pay tribute to a life lived fully.

That Empty rifle charge got me right in the feels I'm not crying you are

Can't sleep, GOOD

How do you not cry in this episode? I had to. Hase’s password was courage even to the end! Damn.

Today iam appreciating The Jocko podcast.. It's the only sane podcast... I just escaped the toxic podcasts of sales people/so called billiinares who are always rating each others out and calling each other names... Jocko is so legit.. Much respect. His reputation is so greate, iam overdosing on it..💕 💕

I always wondered why they scrapped the USS Enterprise, she had 20 Battle Stars but with budget cuts like that makes sense they couldn't turn her into a museum.

4/27/2022 0645AM Great way to start my morning. Thank you Gentlemen for the amazing platform and content. I’ve recently started EXTREME OWNERSHIP for the 3rd time. It’s not about doing things right once it’s about OWNING IT EVERYDAY. Avid Listener Full time GET SUM MINDSET.

Ben should just right a book on just Seal operations in Vietnam and include the sea wolves .

I love the confetti like tabs Jocko has on this book.

I look forward to Ben's next book. He is an amazing researcher and historian. His discipline and focus on finding the facts and stories are enthralling

Great podcast Jocko Willink and Ben Milligan. Thank you and may God for ever bless you

I love the story of Bob Gallagher liberating a refrigerator from an abandoned CIA Annex in the middle of the Tet Offensive. Having his team carry it back to the hotel in My Tho. And then going back out to rescue American Nurses . Would of loved to have seen “The Eagle” on Jockos podcast. RIP Bob Gallagher

After listening to the first podcast I bought the book. The book is awesome. The story is so well written it comes alive. Then I discovered the second podcast! I've been listening to the podcast as I've finished the book. The combination of exhaustive research and very interesting storytelling has made this a wonderful experience. Great job with the story.

Can't wait to take in the wisdom. Stoked for this

Thank you very much!

Fascinating and humbling... great episode!

All three episodes were fantastic! Great work Ben Milligan!!

Goood Morning!☀️Thank you so much!

Love your videos man

Again, great podcast with Ben. Just purchased his book last night. It's next on my reading list. Finishing up 'Ship of Ghosts: the story of the USS Houston'

Another amazing podcast with an amazing person. God bless . The end had me laughing too

4/27. What a way to start the work day!

This was so good. I love how Jocko repeatedly allowed Ben to express himself at Ben's own pace without interrupting him. I like the idea of a podcast with Ben and Jocko

Just finished this episode after listening to ep 330 then Milligan’s first ep 239(?) and my god it was incredible. I’ve had a deep fascination with the marines of WW2 especially thru the battles of Tarawa and Saipan and this podcast series was an incredible look thru the ages since then and how it’s all come together in the Seals. I need to read (listen) to this book STAT! Amazing work Jocko and Mr. Milligan! Sup echo!

As a retired Special Forces Soldier I disagree with several of Mr. Milligan’s conclusions. I do applaud his hard work and in depth research, but I do not agree with the fact the SEALs are the only commando force in the DoD arsenal. U.S. Army Special Forces (Airborne) also known as the ‘Green Berets’ definitively have and have had a commando mission since their inception in 1952. The U.S. Army Ranger Battalion also has and has had a commando mission. There are other points of contention, but I’ll leave it at that. I’d love to have a conversation with Mr. Milligan in the future.

The Ben Milligan t shirt would definitely be as long as one of his chapter titles lol

We need the Texas batman, Jocko$$$

This history is so enlightening to hear . The individuals responsible to adapt and over come to change a point of view . The fight they took on to do so is truly amazing. Love the book it’s a great read .

Typed 'by' in amazon, Ben's book popped up. Boom, maybe he's got something.

Jocko, my dad was UDT during Bay of Pigs stuff. He's 81 and is just starting to open up about it. RLTW

1:38:42. . . The bit on Navy Psychologists trying to assess why the attrition rate for candidates was high, and the general traits of those who did make it through. . . I love their observations! ;-)

2:55:50 there definitely needs to be an excerpt of what is next...

Would love to hear Neil Melanson on this podcast

Outstanding episode Sir's side note. I recently saw a hiking boot being made by Korea oldest shoe maker. (Very interesting) Can Orgin do something similar. Nothing major a small 3 min. Echo Charles production mini documentary on how Orgin high quality boots are made from start to finish. Just an opinion. Was personally amazed to watch all the detail that goes into making a quality boot. ALLOT of work and skill goes into hand made products like Orgin.

Good stuff ... but Ben's audio level needed to be much higher

Rather new to Jocko. Has Jocko covered how to deal with two people arguing and each expects you to take their side? (the two people are my parents, btw). I’ve listened to Jocko speak of Reflect and Diminish. In this scenario, how do I reflect one’s side without the other feeling I’ve chosen a side and it’s not their’s?

Started listening approximately 14 months ago, have listened to every word of every podcast except 288 which is missing from my feed not sure why. Anyway to my point. Contained in these podcasts are all tools, principles, knowledge and examples to make life so much better for you and whose you love.

Around the 6 min mark, it was interesting to hear his statement if is exactly the same story ya know they are lying but if it is different ya know it is from their perspective. Reminded me of the 4 gospels in the New Testament prior to this I thought it was odd they were different but this gave me a new appreciation for them being different.

There will never be an end of war , it is far too lucrative of a business.

Been a long time follower and really love and appreciate the show, but it’s so hard to hear Ben speaking, it’s like he’s whispering, just a little bit frustrating. Anyways, thanks for the book and the show. Maybe speak up more next time 👍🏻

Is there a time stamp for the exact quote, "Look for work"?

"before you build your home sow your fields." bible. "if you plan a year head sow your fields, if you plan a decade ahead plant trees, if you plan a century ahead educate the child." African proverb. Where is the opportunity to secure the interests of the community that the fiscal state doesn't manufacture debts within the sovereign people territories and steal the product of their time and effort?

There's a difference between information technology and energy technology. Just like there's a difference between doing 1000 pushups and being good at your jobs . I see you recon

Henry Rollins next, please. Thanks.

Brilliant title, I'd do just that if I had a working phone and my vital organs weren't completely decimated by several cases of drug induced sexual assault and chemical poisoning. Damage adds up after awhile.

Devi can't lose . Because devi is my angel

Hey Jocko, You Yankee Doodle! Its not!! Called Harassment in your BUDS! Training, It's Called, Encouragement?! Too Succeed!

The cult you defended declares awareness of overt surveillance as a disease. And being a cheap liar is healthy as long as you pay union dues . Theirs consequences for accepting those definitions for those states of minds . Who's responsible for that thinking? Individuals . And torturers

Not a fan of any state religion. But Satanism was an especially odd choice. Wwjd ? Everything Rome and Israel says ? Nope not him

He mumbles.

growing up in Southington Connecticut there was a time late 70's early 80's where you could get fired by lunch, have a new job after lunch, a time where you could not use the excuse "I can't find a job" laying around on someone's couch, at 14 was a dishwasher in a local bakery, got out of high school enlisted, Army School of Infantry sealed my path, who I will be from here on, never had a problem finding a good paying job, got out the Army an worked at Electric Boat for a couple years, said fuck this urban shit, found the bike I have today an saw America, worked every step of the way, folks that can't find a job either don't really want to work or doesn't have the character to connect with employers, unmotivated.

Its definitely beneath me to debate you .... but I lack peers when it comes to ethics . So your the gov straw boss

At least my children have free porn . Just like our founders intended. My liberty to compete as a man ? Pure hate speech

Alright, the more I listen to this the more it pisses me off. Jocko, you have had John ‘Striker’ Meyer on multiple times so you know these conclusions are bullshit. You also worked under my old Group and Battalion commander when you were in Ramadi who was in fact an Army Special Forces ‘Green Beret’ Commander. You know that the SEALs are not the only ‘Commando’ force within Special Operations. You also recently had a Son Tay Raider on your podcast. With multiple interactions with Green Berets and to sit here and capitulate that we are basically a Civil Affairs force is a slap to the face. I have been all in on your message, but I have lost a great deal of respect after this. I’ll be stopping my Origin orders and selling off my Origin gear. I’m sure this will not remotely have an effect, but I have been a big supporter and this guys conclusions are way off. The SEALs were not the biggest group of Ranger school graduates in Vietnam or ever. When you sit and say ‘Robin Sage’ is a proof of concept for SF having a commando mission and totally disregard the fact we still run the same exercise to this day for every candidate hoping to don the Green Beret and just dismiss it also is is very disrespectful. I understand this is a history of the formation of the SEAL teams, but throw the other Special Operations services under the bus with little to no push back to this guy who has obviously drawn incorrect conclusions is also simply a boost to your ego. Up until this point you have been a uniter, but this was a divisive series of podcast. The story is captivating but a lot of conjecture.
