Hello, I'm John, aka Diogenes

[Diogenes]

I'm a fat 40-year old who is in the process of rebuilding his life. I was in the navy for five years as a submarine sonar technician, but it was a failed experience. I have an honorable discharge, but I was inexperienced and not good at it. Would like to have retired Navy. Oh, well.

I find listening to the Jocko Podcast helpful with motivating me to develop and maintain physical fitness, which I am just beginning to do. I'm also interested in reading the books he discusses.

Thank you. I'm job hunting and re-organizing my life, so I may not post as often as I'd like, but I'm interested in discussions related to the podcasts and books mentioned. I'll try to post thoughts or useful info as I'm able.

I know job hunting feels more productive at the keyboard, but it is usually more fruitful with your feet. "Mine" your peer group. Ask around at church, club, gym, etc. The best place I knew to work in Minnesota was the Paper plant in Grand Rapids.

Thanks. I'll look into the paper plant.
