In this episode you will hear:
• Marines are unique people. (7:53)
• I was only really good at climbing, and I was always climbing buildings. (12:52)
• I just happened to close a door and looked behind it, and what do I see? I see these twin 72 cubic inch scuba tanks. I grabbed ‘em and they were [made of] Styrofoam! (28:34)
• If I ever come up with something like Dementia, I hope I’m brave enough to identify it and go for a long swim. (35:21)
• In battle you learn one thing. [You need] water, and ammunition. (36:45)
• When you hit the water, you only got a matter of minutes, and if that parachute gets saturated, it’s an anchor. You’re going down. End of story. (38:26)
• If you never quit, you’ll never know how to. (39:37)
• [Marcus] The only reason I knew I could make it, it because I made it through hell week. (40:47)
• The reason they don’t give us – in my day – more psychological techniques, and even some physiological tricks – they wanna see who’s gonna do it on their own. (45:48)
• Free fall is difficult because there’s no gravity. (49:39)
• You still did one thing together – you get up in line and you examine each other’s equipment to make sure the guys are squared away and nothing bad’s gonna happen. (57:42)
• One of the reasons I was really driven to be a frog man was because they weren’t designed for any other purpose other than warfare. (60:59)
• There were so many cold war frogmen that were ready. There was no war but we were ready. (70:40)
• One of the first things I learned is that it wasn’t about muscle, it wasn’t about brawn – it was about the mind. (83:24)
• You can’t change the world. You have to learn how to navigate accordingly. (93:41)
• Where is there a war I can get in? Where can I stand up for somebody and fight but for a reason, for a purpose. (96:01)
• Life may be boring to me, but what makes life is being able to share it with someone special. (99:23)
