CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE!

“I am a former Marine who served with 3rd AABN, from 1999 to 2004, with a tour over in Iraq. 

My 6 yr old son John is very much a little warrior and is even a follower of Jocko Willink and his warrior kid code and books. 

I wanted to expand his reading variety and bought all of your SEAL books for kids and Conan The Special forces combat dog on Amazon. 

As usual he ate them right up and loved every one of them. 

Always being surrounded by my friends who are all veterans and one who is still in my son has naturally gravitated towards that way of life. 

Your books have greatly increased his reading skills while adding the videos we can watch within the books. 

I attribute much of his discipline and physical abilities yours and other books he reads on this subject. 

Thank you so much for them from myself and especially my little warrior John. You keep putting them out and we will keep reading them.” — Will Clark

The ONE Thing You MUST Do Before Joining the Military! {IMPORTANT!}

The number ONE MOST IMPORTANT thing you must do before joining ANY of the armed forces!

Howdy friends twens teenagers and young adults, and kids my favorite -- the kids!
I want to tell you the most important thing you must know, and you must do, before you join any services.
I'm talking about the enlisted ranks (probably not for officers) it's called a guaranteed job.
You must get a "guaranteed job" before you join any military services: army, navy, air force, or marines.
Now I've heard that the marines don't have this, but the army, and the navy, and the air force definitely do.
As a matter of fact if you go to your air force recruiter you can even ask them for aircraft mechanic: "crew chief 43131". 

So you must get a guaranteed job, because what happens if you don't get a guaranteed job?

Well let me tell you a story, a long time ago...

I went in the air force in the 80s, (that's how old i am,) in the 1980s I joined the air force, and in boot camp i met a guy who was complaining:
He said, "I have a degree in architecture and you know what they made me?!"
I said, "No what did they make you?"
"They made me a cook!"
And I told him, "Well didn't you get a guaranteed job?"
He said, "No. What's that?"
He had a bad recruiter!
So kids, when you go to your recruiter, you tell him, "I want a guaranteed job."
And if the recruiter says, "Oh we can't get you one."
THEN YOU WALK OUT!
...and that's that!
You don't have to join, and you do not join, unless you get that guaranteed job!

Because you know what you get to do if you don't get a guaranteed job? -- you get to be a cook!

Why?

Because they ALWAYS NEED COOKS!

Nobody wants to be a cook; so they have a permanent shortage of cooks all the time.
So what happens if you don't get a guaranteed job? -- you get to be the cook, and you don't want to be the cook do you?

So let me tell you what else is going to happen:

It's a two-phase process:
(1) You go to the recruiter and you sign some papers and then you (2) go to the military enlistment processing station (MEPS) I think it's still in San Diego in California. 
But the point is; you go there and then you're going to sit down with the guy behind the computer, and then he's going to look at all your stuff that you got at the recruiting station in your hometown, and then he's going to say "congratulations we've got your guaranteed job in six months" or whatever months. Then you're okay.
But if he says "oh well we can't get you a guaranteed job," then you get up and you walk out!
You're not in the air force or any services yet my friend -- even when you're at the second phase at the MEPS!
You're not in until you raise your hand and you take the oath!
 
But before you do that you've done a physical at the MEPS station, and you've talked to the guy behind the computer, and it doesn't matter what you signed at the recruiters station in your hometown, I don't care what you signed there, you don't get that guaranteed job at MEPS; then you stand up and you walk out! 

--doesn't matter what you signed; you're not even in the forces yet, not until you raise that hand, and take that oath.

So remember that kids, and anybody thinking of joining the forces: if you get there at the MEPS and they can't get your guaranteed job, you're not in.
You just walk out! - don't matter what you signed, you just leave because you don't want to be a cook do you?
NO!
All right my friends, so that's the most important thing that anybody needs to know to join any service.

If you like this video please share it because it's really important. I don't want any of you joining the services--getting stuck as a cook! okay, alright my friends, please share the video, and... 
I look forward to seeing YOU at the top! {hearty salute}

Extreme Ownership - HARDCORE Leadership Lessons from the Navy SEALs - Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

Extreme Ownership

What I am about to say will probably shock you. 

You may not like hearing it, but you have to admit that it is absolutely true.

Recognize, also, that it impacts your future, and long-term prosperity. Here goes... 


There are three kinds of people: 

  1. People that blame other people for their mistakes 

  2. People that cover up their mistakes

  3. People who own their mistakes ... and learn from them.


It is this third type of person you want to be.

All human progress, since the dawn of mankind, has been made by this third person—no exceptions...



The problem is—no matter which person you are; first, second, or third, you probably don't know how to move up to the higher (let alone the HIGHEST) levels.


That's where this book can help.


If you are a mover, shaker, doer—someone who’s always committed to action, achievement and maximizing opportunity—this book will show you how to broaden your scope of opportunities AND see you at a higher broader sense of what’s possible..


If you are someone who tends to stagnate, contemplate, and rarely initiate growth activities or expansion actions—you need this book (!) to turn you from a mere “plodding along existence” into a growth maximizer.


Just by shifting your thinking and focus, you can quickly advance upward and forward at a rapid rate.


FINALLY—if you’re someone who operates timidly, reactively, non-responsively...OR you feel more like a spectator up in the stands, than a player on the business field of life—this book can totally change (no, make that totally transform) your thinking, actions, and tactical capability.

Going from mediocrity to greatness as a person is probably the most exciting, fulfilling and engaging move you could make.

It will animate your spirit.

It will stimulate your intellect.

It will re-invigorate your entrepreneurial side and get it going and growing—for the first time in a long time (or, perhaps for the first time EVER).


This is the book that I was looking for, for a long time.

It answers the simple question: "WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?"


The answer to that question is always different depending on who you ask.

And that was bothering me!

There can't be 100 different answers!

Doesn't anyone have a simple and definitive answer?


Yup here it is:


Kindle



Print


P.S. there's an old ZEN saying:

   The purpose of a fishtrap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten.

   The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten.

   The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten.

    Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.         --Chuang-Tsu
