Jocko has answered this a few times. He will only do this if "it gets real bad". and understand his measuring stick goes from Hanoi Hilton to San Diego. I don't think we are near bad.
Why would you want Jocko to get elected? So he could lead the nation, but he is only good as the distributed decentralized leadership. So what he needs is a whole army of Jocko Minded leaders, infiltrating the government so that no matter who is elected, the systems are still good to go.
I have said too much.

Number 1 - Anything will be better than nothing. Start from easiest to hardest. Easiest is Watch a bunch of youtube videos from 10 planet, Gracie Academy, Dean Lister, old Jocko classes. Get the wife and have her try a scissor sweep on you, Ezekiel or guillotine. Next would be getting some videos like Gracie, Jeff Glover, or the like. There are DVD's and online courses. Then there is classes. One class a week will build a good tool kit. It wont put you on the race track to a black belt. In a few years, you can pair your class with the daughter's and kill 2 birds with one stone. The gym I used to go to, had cops in class and people with ankle monitors. As for "Law Enforcement" BJJ, you could try a Tim Kennedy Sheepdog course. This is highly tuned toward LE. BJJ classes are all about grappling and technique. It will help your "ground game". Generally the nuance wouldn't be changing your technique before a purple belt. That is a few years off.

Talking to high rank or important people is not a any different than talking to anyone else, with one exception. Their time is very valuable. How do you show them that their time is valuable? The first thing is he will determine what he needs to know about you in a few seconds. It is nothing impersonal, but he sees thousands of E3's a year. He knows where he was at E3, or at age 20 and all the things of the world that he now knows. As far as meeting guys, you want to be who they want you to be, if you want them to be what you want. What does he want to see? The squared away kid who would go as far as to ask a forum of people for their recommendations. Dress like you are ready for inspection. Be early. Be polite to everyone you interact with leading up to, at and following the breakfast. Know when your hat should be on and when it should be off. Be mindful of your language. Be honest about what you don't know. Ask "the help" for help. If you are met by an assistant, ask their name. Ask for a quick play by play of what you are supposed to do. Once you get the General he will most likely ask how you ended there. Have a 90 second version of how you ended up in the Air Force, got to your unit, then you unit had a challenge, success and you won, selected, etc. You will probably be there with a half dozen other people, to a crowd. Have a question or 2 ready. Something that lets him tell you "What is wrong with this man's army". Something like What will our units look like in 20 years? What can we do to help you lead over the next 10 years? What does the soldier of tomorrow train on that we don't train today? What element of today's Airman will be an important in every airman from the next 100 years? Honestly the life advice your Dad gave you will be as useful as anything General Specific. Firm handshake. Dress well. Be the first to help or volunteer. Be the last to speak. Treat others like you want to be treated. Be early. Last thing would be my specific life advice. I always tell people to find the NCO. If you find the guy who is at the job, who knows how the sausage is made, and has worked to get better, he will know what works and what doesn't. Ask your chief what you should know. Ask if he would mind checking on you before you go to breakfast. Ask him if you should ask for a picture with the general, or any other ideas you might want to try. Relax. Listen. Observe. Practice the Airman's creed. Stay on the Path, Brian McLean

Conductor, I am not part of the "jocko staff". I can forward it along through the same channels you and everyone else does. The one I did assist on was the 100 rules of war, but it was mostly the requestor, who was also the author / translator. I think the better idea is to get the full court press on Pressfield to have him on the podcast. I know Jocko and Echo are familiar with the War of Art.
I think having Stephen on would be the productive way to have them all discuss his books. Just make sure Stephen doesn't mention the O word. that ends in "prah"

Cracked rib is an annoying setback. Heal up and work on other areas. Thanks for the updates.

I think this is a case of outcome. If you go back to Napoleon, and WW1. They imposed steep penalties on certain crimes, and they found that people were not as likely to punish if the punishment was greater than the crime required. This actually caused greater levels of that crime. When the punishment was a day of bread and water, or loosing rank, then the fellow soldiers were more likely to help enforce and violators more able to accept their punishment. If punishments were too steep, the crimes weren't punished, and then the lack of punishment was kept hidden. This was a bigger problem than the actual violations.
Obviously desertion and leaking information are not good for the "home team". We build a certain example in our head, and assume that the crime meets those standard items. Reality is more gray. The first thing I always look at is, would I expect the enemy do it for us. Do we want POW's to share information? Do we expect enemy to desert to our side?
The reality is that they need to be caught earlier. Manning needs to get caught bringing in a recordable CD. Berghdahl needs to be caught when he starts talking about leaving, not walking off base. Ideally these are both met with Chuck Norris, Cowboy hat and Air Force uniform, reaching out and stopping them, and delivering a line like "If you stop this now, I can help you. If you walk out that door, it is between you and your Creator". Then if get yourself killed, at least you were warned.
