0:00.0	This is Jocco podcast number 30 with Echo Charles and me, Jocco Willink.
0:10.8	And what we have this evening is straight Q&A, the last podcast that we did on the outstanding book
0:22.4	called Platoon Leader of Memoir of Command in Combat. It just took me a long time to get through.
0:32.7	It's just a good book and I just kept every, I swear, you know, like every time, every page,
0:40.3	I read it, I said, Godfully, people got to hear that and people got to hear that and people got
0:43.5	to hear that. The next thing you know, you're two and a half hours deep. And since so much of it
0:49.6	was pertained to leadership, there was commentary with each section and it was like, oh yeah, you know,
0:55.3	this what's going on here and I recognize that and I wish I would have known that and that could

2:00.4	is something in the military that it's almost something to put it in a very simple way that people
2:09.3	could understand it from. It's an assistant. It's like an executive assistant where for me,
2:16.2	I was the admiral that's in charge of all the seals. I was his assistant. That's what an adicamp is.
2:26.4	Now, the question is, why does that position still exist or what did you learn? Well, I learned a ton.
2:35.2	No doubt about that. Why does the position still exist? I think it's absolutely necessary. It's a
2:39.0	good. It's not fun. It's not a fun job. I work for a great guy, but if you're working for
