0:00.0 | This is the Jocco Underground podcast number 15 with Echo Charles and me, |
0:04.6 | Jocco Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening. Also joining us tonight, |
0:08.2 | Darryl Cooper. Good evening, Darryl. Good evening. |
0:12.4 | So I'm in Task Unit, Bridger, and I am the commander of Task Unit, Bridger, |
0:20.4 | which is, it sounds like a real arrogant thing to say, but I was the guy that was in charge. |
0:24.8 | And we deployed, we did a workup, we deployed, we came back. When it came back, |
0:31.6 | Lafe. So there's two platoon commanders. Lafe and Seth. Lafe, when we got back, |

1:51.5 | We called the Ouija board is what we called it. And what it is is, it's basically a magnet board. |
