    Loved the humble understatement of this interview. To just skip over a career in the SBS for the operational security of those serving currently. Where others may have told tall tales.
    To excel at everything you have done and keep powering on. To lose a life that you love and just create a new one. To fight the Army and win. To sit with prime ministers and princes after doing a battalions worth of exfil.
    To then go on and create a challenge that is so daunting, only to move goalposts continually...and still succeed.

They are being sourced from the regular army units, so they are not going to be elite level soldiers suddenly. Highly doubt they will have to do anything close to as hard as p- company or commando course.

    Ex British Armed Forces myself, and also a Johnny-come-lately to Jocko's channel, as I only came across it quite by chance at the beginning of last year, but it does surprise me that his channel doesn't have - at the very least; twice the amount of subscribers that it does.
    Having watched quite a few of his videos now, it always impresses me just how polite and respectful he is towards his guests, whilst being very modest about his own military career too.
    It's refreshing - and it is also a lesson that some other youtube hosts should learn, to let the guest lead the conversation, and to not interrupt constantly.
