This is Jocco Podcast number 120 with Echo Charles and me, Jocco Willink.

Good evening, I go.

Good evening.

So it's been a while since Q&A.

Yeah.

So we have some Q&A from the interwebs.

Yeah.

Go.

First question, Jocco.

More than once on the podcast, you've mentioned how the teams were so competitive

that no one wanted to admit when they were cold, being too cold puts you at a tactical disadvantage.

In hindsight, was that a failure to control your ego?

So your ego doesn't control you?

I didn't ask this question out of idle curiosity.

A lot of folks on active duty listed to the podcast and I'm concerned they might put themselves,

their teammates and their mission in jeopardy because of their egos, won't let them admit they're too hot or too cold.

All right, so good question, good point and there's definitely a big difference between between being uncomfortably cold,

like you're just uncomfortably cold or uncomfortably hot or uncomfortably thirsty or hungry or whatever,

and being in an actual state where you're putting the mission in jeopardy because you're too cold or more hot or thirsty or whatever.

So I just needed to say this in the teams, you are 95% of the time you are cold, too cold, too hot, too wet, too thirsty, too miserable, something.

There's no time.

When you're in the field, you put on 100 pounds worth of gear, worth of gear, you're uncomfortable from the word go, from the word go.
