This is the Jocko Underground Podcast number 177.

Sitting here with Echo Charles, 177 was my basic underwater demolition seal class, just FYI.

1-7.

What was your number in the back of your head, helmet, whatever?

There's no number. You have your name, Willink.

But the number on my helmet is one seven seven so everyone

is that how it is now yeah so everyone has a same number now that's how it's been well I don't know

man I didn't go to bud actually you know you might be right that way back in the day in um at airborne

school you had like a number that was your assigned specific number.

Like in football.

But no, in Buds, you, for the whole time that I've known,

you put your Bud's class number on your helmet.

Mine was one seven, seven.

Okay. So when they talk about, like J.B.'s talking about,
