Had dinner with one of them. He also gave a motivational speech.
I thought I was talking to Chronic Tom. Almost everything the Seal said about performance and teamwork I had heard before from Vermin.
Soldiers don't rise to the occasion, they fall to the level of their training.
You can't think when you are in battle, you have to trust the instincts you developed in training. If you think, you are too slow.
For a team to function, there has to be complete alignment.
You have to do your job, and trust your teammate to do his. If you try to do someone else's job, it threatens the whole team.
On this last point, he demonstrated how Seals enter a room. Each one is responsible for clearing 45 degrees. If you try to clear more than that because you don't trust the guy behind you, you're dead.
