The literature in the code of federal regulations and the M 21 manuals for ratings are clear on the scheduler criteria for service connected disabilities, they are public knowledge. What you have are veterans who let their ego and pride come in the way of their benefits. They think they can not have to talk about what they did and get paid. That’s not how it works, bud. Do you want the prize money at the end of the level? Then you need to play the game. When you hear a veteran has their hundred percent permanent in total, you have two options. The first is get jealous and criticize them and how they got theirs, or two to make the conscious decision to get it for yourself. Recovery is selfish. You are not part of a team at the VA. You are there to recover for yourself and your family.

Hooked within 5 minutes. Best podcast ever for driving and showering.

This podcast and Jocko have helped elevate my life to levels I never knew possible. Not just in fitness, but in work, family, personal development, lifestyle and in mindset. I am grateful that I am able to absorb such profound content everyday, and it is 100% true that discipline = freedom!!!

Awesome messages and his discipline talks have changed my life.

I want to thank you so much for giving the Chaplain story time. I am really looking forward to more Chaplain stories.

Jocko, loved this episode! You are right, you can’t find the Chaplain Rayburn’s book anywhere. Please record yourself reading it and make it available!

Jocko, I’ve been listening to your podcasts for years now. I just watched a really interesting story (actually a really unjust story) about a group of green berets helping in western Africa, who were ambushed by militants on 10/4/17 and were nearly all killed. Michelle Black’s story, called ‘Sacrifice | The Green Berets, a Fateful Ambush, and a Gold Star Widow’s Fight for the Truth’, is quite damming to the military brass who decided to alter and conceal the truth regarding the unfortunate events that took her husband‘s and several others’ lives. If you’d like to see for yourself, you can find this story on YouTube in a video published by Popo Medic just a few days ago. Thanks for all your content. You have been exceptionally instrumental in my development as a leader.

Thank you Sir for putting your voice and great gift of storytelling to the words from the book “By water beneath the walls”!

I didn’t think you could top the Crazy Horse podcast. I stand corrected. General McFarland was outstanding

Awesome conversation with general McFarland definitely 6 hours well invested listening

Super long. Incredible leaders of yesterday in the military leading the way in the free world. Loved the episode.

Jocko podcast, good. Jocko, good. Echo, good. Guests, good. Books, good. Good

You hinted a while back that you were reading The Peloponnesian by Thucydides. Any chance you will be doing a podcast (most likely a series) in the near future? I really enjoy listening to you and Echo, Thanks

As an active Seabee 2005-2017, SW1 (SCW) Williams, Thomas, I was brought to tears to hear you show your love for Seabees. 2009 I was in JBB Balad assigned to CJSOTF. The time I spent with the 5 and 10 Group with a very special time. The respect shown by those guys and gals was definitely worth every minute we spent work for them. I appreciate you shining a light on what we do and our commitment to it. Seabee Can Do, WITH COMPASSION FOR OTHERS, WE BUILD WE FIGHT. The difficult we do right away, the impossible takes just a little longer.

Omg Jocko you are the GOAT I love you so much and you have helped me with many of my problems In life you have helped me become a successful person in life I read extreme ownership you have helped me as a 13 year old thank you

Your a class act jocko. Nobody can hide that kind of crazy for life. We know who u are week after week. Your a good man

We love Jocko’s work in my family. Leadership Strategy and Tactics was a good read. Nephew and nieces love the Warrior Kid books. Uncle Chuck is the man right now. Echo Charles is awesome, and it is great to see him giving Jocko opportunities to shine on almost every podcast. Keep up the good work EC!

Outstanding podcast! Jocko gave a play by play explanation to his Task Unit’s role in addition to the other important players in the Battle of Ramadi . This should put to rest all the negativity for those who endured one of the most contested times in Iraq . Let’s keep the memories of our Fallen Angels alive and to those who continue to bear the scars of war. Semper Fidelis Godfather Ramadi 2006
