"While we did everything in our power to mitigate the risk of injury or death during the training, we did nothing to mitigate the suffering. Part of the training was suffering. Brutal suffering. And yet all of that — all of that — was nothing compared to the challenges of combat."

Jocko and his wife Helen have been married for more than 20 years, and are parents to four children, three daughters, and a son. On his podcast, Jocko opened up about balancing his loyalty to work and family.
"At the end of 20 years, I decided to prioritize my family over the military — and over my own desires, too," he shared. "I was not good at balancing. I ranked and prioritized the teams above my family the whole time I was in."
He continued, "Men have been leaving their families so they can go and fight evil since the beginning of time." Now, it looks like Jocko is spending more time at home, surfing, doing jiu-jitsu, and even playing the guitar.
