DJ Shipley, a former Navy SEAL, talks about the bonds forged in life-or-death situations and the discipline that keeps you useful to your family. He lost a friend on a hostage rescue in December 2012 and lives by maxims like "1% better every day" and "don't be an asshole."
December 8, 2012.
I had my best friend get killed on a hostage rescue December 8, 2012. That was a tough thing to go through, man.
There's no greater bond than just you, 100%, knowing that the guy beside you is willing to give his life, and you are willing to give your life. You'll never reach that level of culture in the civilian world because people are not willing to do what you guys had to do to develop that culture.
What is the culture? 1% bread every day. Be a pro, Be a. Leave it better than you found it. Don't be an asshole. How do you want to be a good Navy seal? Be a good dude? I'm trying to live to be 105. I'm trying to be an asset for my family as long as humanly possible. And there's a big physical component of that. I'm exhausted everything I can to be there and be present on the moments where they really need me to be.
What about the mindset of having been a seal? What did you draw out of that culture that's now just a part of who you are?
I think ultimately somebody to do really good is.
Ultimately win.
