This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 154 sitting here with Echo Charles, and we have some questions from the troopers at this time.

Yep.

Let's get into it.

All right.

First one.

I'm a 28-year-old married male.

For a long time, I've been trying to figure out what to do with my life career-wise.

My current job is intrinsically meaningful, but I feel it's not for me. I sit at a desk

all day, and a big part of me feels I should be doing something more physical, a more physical job.

I mean, I'm in great shape and would like to be in a career where I can be more active and problem

solved. My dad is a retired cop and my brother is a former Marine.

I've considered a career in law enforcement for a long time.

The sense of duty, camaraderie, and mission are attractive to me, but each time I get ready

to pursue it, I have a bunch of mental roadblocks.

Fears of how the day-to-day will affect me and my eventual family.

The shift work, dangers, etc., all enter my mind. I've thought about this for years and I can't tell if I'm coming up with excuses, holding myself back,

or if that particular career is really not for me.

I've struggled with accepting not having a quote-called badass job job to and find myself envious of those I've who pursue things like military police fire etc

but I wonder if that is more of a fantasy I've created or if I need to stop with excuses and get after it any thoughts you an echo have would be greatly appreciated.

So one thing I want to say is like we you don't hear a lot of information about,

for instance, police that are perfectly fine.

You know what I mean?
