JP Dinnell talks about difference between the brave and the cowardly, whether gear or training makes the SEAL, and how important it is to embrace your nerves not your fear.  In the SEAL Teams I learned that the small details matter just like in wrestling. Wrestlers do not cheat. Wrestlers do not cut corners. Wrestlers do not lie. Wrestlers do not coast throughout the day, throughout practice or throughout their life. Wrestlers do not quit. Wrestlers do not take the easy way out. And Wrestlers always find a way to WIN. And Wrestlers always FIGHT!!!! You can make excuses or you can make things happen, you cannot do both… The choice is 100% yours.

He worked closely with SEAL Officers Jocko Willink, his Task Unit Commander, and Leif Babin, and was the driving force on many of the daring combat operations Jocko and Leif wrote about in Extreme Ownership.
