Jocko,
Thanks for all the great podcasts. I love the messages and history lessons. I’ve learned much more about leadership and being disciplined which I’ve tried to put into practice. Podcast 139 struck a note with because the poem, whom is unknown , reminds me of poems written by my great uncle, CWO Felix McCool. Felix was captured on Corregidor and wrote many poems. This poem sounds much like something Felix would write. He was a career Marine and also captured at the battle of Chosin. He was a warrior. Featured on the TV show, “ This is Your Life,” several books of poetry and memoirs. I’ll share my favorite poem Felix wrote titled, To Thos at Home.”

Out of the darkness and into the distance light
Out of the doubts of yesterday
Into the bright today
Out of the night

Out of yesterday the world of today has grown
Out of today will come the world of tomorrow/
Your tomorrow!


Work got it!
Study for it
Pray for it!
Fight for it!
Die for it!
