Hello Jocko and Echo
My name is Erik. I’m a teacher, professor and coach in CT. My friend and Head Coach Rick introduced me to your work last fall and I’ve since started following the podcasts and reading up. I’m thankful for all you do. Your words are inspiring but honest. The Naval service is important to my family as my grandfather was a UDT Frogman landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day. I myself wanted to serve, but was medically DQ’d after a year in AFROTC because of a surgery I had on my back in my early 20’s. Ironically that injury has never held me back from climbing mountains, snowboarding, bow hunting, Jiu Jitsu or any other physical activity. So, now I serve America as an a educator in a high school and teach college classes at a state prison in an effort to effect change. I use Dicipline Equals Freedom for my writing exercises. It’s effective. I also started Jiu jitsu about 2.5 mos ago. I love it. My brother rolled and introduced me to his coach. I bring my son with me and he does a mixed class then I do BJJ after. It’s good stuff.
Thank you for your service Jocko. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.
Lastly, have you considered a T-shirt with “Jocko is my copilot” on the front and “Every Day” on the back? Might make a cool rash guard too.
