This is Jocko Podcast number 490 with Echo Charles and me, Jocko Willink. Good evening, Echo. Good evening. Realizing it is my choice and my choice alone to be a reconnaissance marine, I accept all challenges involved with this profession. I forever shall I strive to maintain the tremendous reputation of those who went before me.

Exceeding beyond the limitations set down by others shall be my goal. Sacrificing personal comfort and dedicating myself to the completion of the reconnaissance mission shall be my life. Physical fitness, mental attitude, and high ethics, the title of Recon Marine is my honor. Conquering all obstacles, both large and small, I shall never quit.

To quit, to surrender, to give up is to fail. To be a recon Marine is to surpass failure, to overcome, to adapt, and to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. On the battlefield, as in all areas of life, I shall stand tall above the competition. Through professional pride, integrity, and teamwork, I shall be the example for all Marines to emulate. Never shall I forget the principles I accept I accepted to become a Recon Marine, honor, perseverance, spirit, and heart.
