0:00.0	This is Jocco Podcast number 79 with Echo Charles and me, Jocco Willink. Good evening, Echo.
0:09.4	Good evening. And it has been a little while since we were able to hammer out some Q&A,
0:16.9	sure, questions from the interwebs. And so here we are. Number 79. Let's answer some
0:26.0	questions from the interwebs. What do you got? Go. First question. Jocco. Oh wait, should
0:32.0	we spend a bunch of time with a bunch of fluff and talk about nonsense or should we get to the
0:34.9	questions? What about 27 minutes worth of advertisements? Let's get to the questions. Rock and roll.
0:42.5	I am a vascular surgeon training resident. How do you apply decentralized command when your team
0:50.0	changes every one to three months? Yeah, solid question. And with something like that, what we need to do
0:58.1	is we need to get a standard operating procedure in place with clear documentation, some kind of a
1:03.8	qualification and approval process, and then a monitoring system in place. Right? So this, the
1:10.2	reason I can kind of, the reason that's pretty easy transition for me to make mentally is because

1:32.2	guys that show up their seals, right? So they, they understand the fundamental concepts, but
1:38.3	you haven't worked with them specifically before. They haven't worked with the platoon before,
1:43.2	they don't know the area of operations that you're in specifically. They don't know what kind of
1:47.3	mission specifically you're conducting and where the intel is coming from, basically, they don't
1:51.4	know anything other than the fundamental knowledge of being a SEAL. But as far as that particular
1:57.8	job goes, they don't know too much. So what you have to do is you have to run them through a bunch of
2:04.5	familiarization stuff very quickly about the gun trucks and how your home visor setup, you got to
2:09.4	make sure they can get on a 50 count on a mark 48 and mark 19 and understand our cruiser of weapons
