There are lots of reasons to modify BJJ. Understand, you have more control than you think. You can have say in training partners, activities and general guidance. The thing that is the hardest would be to go to a BJJ gym and only warm up and drill. This gets boring and competitive which leads to Randori or rolling. If you can turn off that reflex you should greatly reduce your risk of injury. Just learn and drill and you should have less risk than the normal surgeon sports of golf and tennis.

First question: Is he right? Insubordination - not following orders. That is a little vague. It also takes some perspective. Jocko talked about this with Leif. Jocko wanted his guys to be following the uniform rules above and beyond the standards of the Teams so that it would help the relationship with the other branches. Leif and Delta Platoon commander went in direct opposition to Jocko's direction and had custom patches made for their team. They even had a radio call at the beginning of operations of "patches on". What did Jocko do? Yell at them. Send someone home. Bust them down to 2nd Lt. No. He ignored it. It didn't ruin their operations. They felt like they some freedom. It never escalated or became a problem. So what do you do with a helpful team member that doesn't follow rules, respect authority, or generally second guess the company brass. This takes an iron will and a light touch. Option 1: He wants to be heard. This is a human element that could be the cause. He has something to say, good bad or otherwise. If you can get him a private audience with someone "in control" he can get it off his chest. Option 2: He doesn't understand the mission. He might have some questions about the method or the process or blind spot to the "important" part of the job. This would be the time to double up on the meeting with the boss so they can clarify his role and how his work helps the project or company. Option 3: He doesn't know he is doing something wrong. He might know that he is talking out of school but does he know how that is seen by you and others. If you have a deft manager who just listened to his comments to exhaustion and explained the mission,Clearly and consicely. He has set the table for him to then relay the behavior he is presenting for him to confirm, then explain why that behavior is not helpful, and what a productive version of that behavior would be, finally explain what the punishment would be for that behavior. Make sure whoever does this practices it at least 3 times. Once where it goes great. Once where it goes horrible and once where it goes weird. None of the will be right but they might help establish guidelines for the interaction. Good luck. Remember the relationship is more important than the crime/punnishment/problem.

First of all, MolkTrainConductor might be the best handle on the boards. I will look into that book. Hope to see you around the boards.

Extreme ownership would say the common thread is you. Assume it is your fault. Now this starts to breakdown under 2 conditions. The first is if someone in your small orbit is at fault. The answer is to remove some or all people from your inner circle. Create distance from family, friends etc. Next flush your financials. New bank, tax guy, etc. It takes a month or 2 and there will be a few things that mess up you will have to fix all of them knowing it was your fault. The way you fix these items is to ask what you need to do and fix it their way, even if that seems like a pain to you. Obviously ask questions and don't do anything you feel is wrong or risky.
The second thing is problematic communication. I have made a handful of assumptions about you given details you have used. I have a few items you need to fix with your communication. First, you need to learn that men communicate different than women. When a woman communicates a problem, they want empathy. They want the other person to validate their feelings and share their experience. When a man has a problem presented to them their goal is to get to a solution in as few steps as possible. Hence, use a tarp. They will also be dismissive of things they don't see as aspects of your relationship. So if your relationship is professional or romantic, they will be dismissive of personal problems. Finally, getting scammed. This should not be something people learn about you until they have known you for a year. Don't ever portray it as a sob story or make yourself out to be the victim. If you need to talk to someone about this try to set limits to the conversation. Asking a friend, "any idea on how to report a fraud?" Is fine. If they ask why, you say "I had something sketchy happen and wanted someone to look into it so it doesn't happen to others or me again". Then go back to talking about the weather or tight ends of the NFL. As for actually being frauded, hit a local police station. They will take a statement and start a report. They will tell you it is out of their jurisdiction, and then you ask who would handle it. They will dig through and find you a phone number, email address or website. You can follow up with them. The thing you are probably going to learn is that hard to get judgements on people who have personal relationships for theft or fraud. You might be able to sue for misuse of funds but this will most likely cost you more than you lost and never yield any compensation. If you want to pursue this, your new evening and weekend hobby becomes documenting what happened to you, who did it and under what terms. Next you get to educate yourself on what the actual laws and standards are for such a crime. Once you think a crime has been committed you will find a law enforcement entity that handles this law and hand them your homework. Then it is a 50/50 chance that they actually act on it. I am often called dream crusher on these boards. That is not my intent. I am trying to give you a peak at the most likely path toward restitution, prosecution, and ejudication. In general, I have exhausted my helpfulness on this topic. Good luck. If you want a few books that might help, feel free to ask.

Well the good news is it seems like people are showing up to work. I would ask the dumb questions to the new owner. How short on staff do we have to be for us to just close the door and go home? What attribute or commonality was the reason for the firing of all the female leaders? What do I need to do to be successful in this organization? I feel like my efforts are too scattered. What do you want me to focus on?
Honestly, work on your detachment. I have done a bunch of coaching guys in my office to not get excited about bosses and managers telling us to tell them how much work we have. Employees with a year of experience shouldn't be aware of how much work they have on a project that spans months. So when someone gets hot on a conf call about 1 number on a spreadsheet and starts making statements about what employees are supposed to be telling him, he assumes they understand what he is talking about and that they are responsible for. I encourage them to write back a sincere email illustrating the absurdity of the the request. That is my recommendation to you, write a sincere email illustrating the absurd. This is a delicate art. It often helps if it is out of the ordinary. Hand written, or along with baked goods has worked for me. Good luck and chill out.

The 2 direct links to Jocko is mail to Victory MMA, or emails to info@echelonfront.com Both eventually get to Jocko. He typically gets paid for stuff like that. Or pairs it with things he gets paid for, like working with a business nearby. It isn't on you to make that happen, just keep it in mind.
Thanks for the inquiry Gunny. Keep bringing the fight.

The 2 sides would be the chief and crew mate. For the chief side, ask the chief when he learned to do it right, had they had enough training, did everyone know what they were doing. Who was responsible for stopping him? Adjusting him? The point to drive home is that one person can't make a mistake that endangers a life, the is a bigger system problem. For the crew mate, ask him if he was getting direction from anyone else. If he was following his most recent order or standard operating procedure, what needs to change so he can focus his task and not what everyone else is doing. When you approach this keep the intent vague. What was the correct action? Who is responsible for correcting incorrect actions. Who informs teammates when conditions and tasks change? How do they do that, signals, radio, touch commands? Can we practice it? Can we write it up?
Try this and let me know how the players respond.

Nothing wrong with this book. Jocko would prefer to get someone to talk about him or something in his voice. These books,I have the Ryan Job one, are good. The English major, book snob, has a high standard for what he likes.

There was a limit in Air Force of 39. Navy was 36. Jocko explained the biggest problem with joining late is that you are too smart to blindly one they 29 year old drill sargent when he tells to go get properly wet and sandy. There are other options that don't involve learning how to get shot at. There are military contractors, fire dept, police, EMT, and others. Better define serve, what can better use your skills. Other options: GORUCK event, charity work, new look, new gym.

Thanks Charlie. Send Jocko a Note at info@echelonfront.com with his contact info. This site is not watched by the podcast crew. Terry might even know some of the prior guests who were also Hewey crews.
