Jocko Willink

That was never, that was never really something I thought too much about.

My career was really about just being with the platoons.

About the fucking job.

Yeah.

Yes.

And I get it.

You know, it's another thing when I was the Admiral's aide, I saw what the Admiral did, you know?

And he had a great attitude about it.

You know, on September 11th, I think he started his job in the Pentagon as an acquisitions officer.

And one thing he told me, he said, when September 11th happened, I check into my job as the acquisitions officer.

Last job in the world I wanted to do.

You know, because he joined, he probably got in the teams in 1976 or something.

No Vietnam.

I don't think he, no Gulf War.

And now this big war starts and he's in the Pentagon doing acquisitions.

And he said, you know what, Jocko?

I said, this is my foxhole.

I am going to fight.

And that's what he did.

And I think that attitude, regardless of where you are, you know, sometimes I get people that were in the military and they didn't deploy to combat.
