Jocko recently had a podcast with Thomas Dzieren, a Polish Navy Seal....hilarious as well as informative
also, re reading Can’t Hurt me by David Goggins rn as well as Discipline is Freedom by Jocko
I listen to Falling to Pieces by Faith No More (the Black Hawk Down song) every time I go on a run

All good books! You should check out:
-Fighter Pilot by Robin Olds
-Viper Pilot by Dan Hampton
-Hunter Killers by Dan Hampton
-Kelly by Kelly Johnson
-Spaceman by Mike Massino
Strange how like-minded all of us can be pursuing a common goal.
Can’t hurt me is awesome

i gotta be honest, a big part of what I'm looking for in going back to the military is things like....hey dude, get your ass up let's go on a 5 miler before class or.....let's fucking watch Top Gun Maverick while deployed on a carrier....or looking forward to giving each other's our call signs.....is not so much about the money or the flying part, but the brotherhood you join.....when I was enlisted we always had a tight group together in the avionics shop...but it was always interesting seeing the other groups, like the chiefs at drinking outside of the goat locker in Bahrain after a long shift, or all the officers (all pilots and fos since I was in a squadron) getting together as well
like minded people are often hard to find as a civilian
True that.
About face has been on my list for a while. I will definitely move it up. My Korean and Vietnam War history is very lacking.
Thanks! These sound sweet.
I will add the Goggins as my next motivational one.
My favorite episodes of Jocko are #69: David Berke - Marine Pilot and #221 - Jonny Kim -Navy Seal, Harvard Med, and Astronaut
Race of Aces: WWII's Elite Airmen and the Epic Battle to Become the Master of the Sky - John Bruning
Dragon's Jaw - Barrett Tillman and Stephen Coonts
Dogfight Over Tokyo - John F. Wukovits
Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice - Adam Makos
Lords of the Sky: Fighter Pilots and Air Combat, from the Red Baron to the F-16 - Dan Hampton

I'd also recommend Make Your Bed by ADM McRaven, it's not a long read, but it has some worthwhile lessons; it's also based on his commencement speech at UT Austin in 2014, which you should definitely watch if you haven't already.

If you are wanting a Fiction series from a retired Hornet Pilot, read the "Raven One" series by Kevin Miller.
He brings all of his experience from training, deployments and missions intertwined into the books. Theyre great and very descriptive.
He also did a Fiction book on WWII pilots from The Battle of Midway, called "The Silver Waterfall"
