    I would love to have Mr Pozzi as a teacher. Thanks Jocko and Echo for continuing to honor these Vietnam era vets. Please keep having them on the show.

    I love how Warrant Officer Pozzi always refers to Jocko as "Commander" or "Sir" throughout the entire podcast. Some old respects die hard.

      1:03:30 "I'm going to talk about the M16 if you don't mind, Commander." XD ...Even got a chuckle out of Jocko after that one.

    In totally blown away by this. Pozzi was my history teacher in my junior and senior year. I see him regularly at church, and he's never mentioned to me he was on Jocko until today. Bill Pozzi is one of the greatest men I know, and even as a stupid ass high schooler, I saw that greatness and sacrifice he made. I was honored to have been taught by him and honored to laugh with him as a man these last few years. A blessing to be sure.

      I feel you brother. Truly a wise and beautiful soul and a blessing to know the guy. He taught me my junior and senior year as well and I could not be more grateful.

    Warrant Officer Pozzi should serve as an example as someone that makes things happen without regard for who gets the credit. Imagine what a great world we would live in with more people like that.

    I really appreciate the Jocko podcasts. I am truly a better man, father, and employee as a result of listening. Last summer my company had some personnel changes, and I got a new boss. He was a monster. My stress and anxiety was so bad I broke out in hives, and had trouble eating and sleeping. I never complained. I just did my best to implement the knowledge and lessons from the Jocko podcasts. One day, out of the blue, the company president called me on my personal phone and said something to the effect, "Hey Steve, I know this guy treats you like shit, and I think you have endured enough. I am going to move you into a new slot in the company, with a new chain of command." My mind went blank for a moment, then I replied, "Hell no, Sir, that son of a bitch is not going to run me out of my job." He was stunned, and truly appreciated my willingness to stick it out. The end result is, I got a bonus, a raise, and learned new skills, and, oddly enough, developed a positive relationship with the SOB.

    im 28 years old, when i was younger, i always wanted to join the marines, i was also trained in ju jitsu, judo, and karate before the age of 13. in school i was bullied, my parents got divorced and i tricked myself into hating everyone, including myself, and the united states. seeing pointless war made me deter from my path.... from joining the military. And couldnt continue training martial arts due to my family being split. Ive lost myself all those years of what i shouldve done, and what i wanted to do in the beginning of mylife.... Some days i think i couldve been part of something special of finding brotherhood in the military, and training mymind to not folly on useless thoughts. These podcasts have brought back my feelings that i had when i was 3-6 years old. GET AFTER IT .

    I’d really love to see some of the “inter-war” guys. Guys who were in during the 70s, 80s, 90s. These guys would’ve seen action in some really interesting, little-known conflicts/trouble spots - Beirut, Grenada, Panama, 1st Gulf War, Somalia, Bosnia, etc.. They were also around for the development of counterterrorist units like Delta and Team 6 (pre-DEVGRU). It would be great to hear their stories, plus stories from any of Jocko’s mentors in the Teams.

    What memories.
    While at RPC 2004-2005 deployment, I personally gifted the Falcon Hotel chandelier crystal ball, the bottom jewel of the chandelier to a fellow warrior. Its now in his Will.

      Withdraw sucks bro just remember whatever you do keep your mind busy because if you try and get sober by sitting by yourself in a house you are probably not going to get clean. Your mind is your biggest enemy in that scenario. Get out, excercise, go hiking, go running and you'll have success.

      George Lucas went to Modesto High School in Modesto California, which used to have Friday night cruising on McHenry Boulevard, and also had an annual Graffiti Night.

    When he said I'm in the engine room turning a wrench. I had flash back of 1MMR on the Kitty HAWK. Great times but it was hell 6x6 for almost 3 years.

    I loved ship life in the Marines. Being deployed on the USS Iwo Jima was one of the highlights of my career, and I was one of the few that genuinely enjoyed the routines and lifestyle of being on ship. I would have NEVER wanted to step foot in a sub. Being in a pressurized tube a couple hundred feet underwater for months at a time doesnt seem like a fun deal to me.
