Hello I am currently a Cadet at Texas A&M University, have a contract to commission as an active duty officer in the US Army when I graduate and am hoping to go into Military Intelligence with a branch detail in Infantry. As well as currently being enlisted in the National Guard. I have been listening to the podcast for some time now and have been able to apply a lot of what Jocko talks about in my leadership and personal development. It has helped me develop as a leader and as a person, which I am eternally grateful for as I can use this to benefit my future soldiers, wife and children. Due to my schooling and time constraints, I am listening to Extreme Ownership on audio book (which I recommend if you struggle finding time to read Jocko and Leif do an amazing job with it.) More or less I came to the boards to see what his other followers have to say about development, leadership, ect. to help expand my mind more and more.
Secondly, I would do anything to get a signed copy of Extreme Ownership with Jock and/or Leif signing "No Fucking Slack" that podcast with the book analysis of About Face is one of my favorites and am currently reading the book. If anyone has advice on how I could obtain that, I will give any amount of monetary or other form of commitment.
Best of Luck

Keep up the work. First rule of intel, don't talk about intel. My friends in DC say if someone ever mentions they want a job with the CIA, they get put on the Do not hire list at the CIA. Secondly, The magic of the self addressed envelope. If you were to mail a copy of the book with a hand written note, and an envelope with your mailing address and postage already on it to Victory MMA, in San Diego, I bet it gets signed and dropped back in the mail. Then, you mail it in the same manner to Leif's wife? You do the rest of the leg work. Come on. Chalk a letter box, drop a note. Think Cloak and Dagger. Inches not miles. Welcome to the boards.
