John Stryker Meyer and all the ol "Nam boy's" are still my favorite podcasts. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I see TILT. I stop whatever I'm doing and listen!

I've never clicked so fast to watch a podcast. The previous SOG episodes were amazing!

I would legitimately pay double retail for a chance to listen to jocko narrate the whole book with tilts commentary. All 3 bookcasts would be LEGENDARY.

John Stryker Meyer.. I clicked so fast

Tilt is one unbelievable man. My favorite guest, his stories are incredible and his chemistry with jocko is something only warriors can share. Im thoroughly looking forward to this one. Already binged his previous podcasts atleast 3 times each. More tilt!!

The best guest, will probably never get better than these guys.

Come on HBO you gave us'' Band of Brothers'' let's get the Vietnam equivalent.

John is freaking SHARP man. He's 74 but could easily pass for 60

Fingers crossed Lynne Black gets on the show

I honestly don’t think I’ve been this happy in a couple months. I wish Mr. Meyer could be on every episode

Hands down one of my favorite guests, Jocko has had on his podcast

I love Tilts laugh. Makes me smile everytime. Legends is an understatement.

Jocko Willink for President 2024

I just love watching Tilt light up. The deep lines around his eyes certainly show a long life of appreciation, understanding, and happiness. I suppose this is the beauty of life's balance.

I started listening to Jocko Podcast because of John Stryker Meyer's stories. Love seeing him back on.

These SOG guys are something else. Somebody needs to make a series like The Pacific about them.

Jocko is so hardcore, and these stories make him look like a pup. Love all these guys! God Bless our Vietnam Veterans.

I'm completely blown away by this man. His attitude,. Bravery, humor, and also how quick witted and sharp his memory is.

Tilt should be a permanent member of this podcast. Make it happen, please!

Bought “Across the fence” and “On the ground “ soon after i heard the first podcast. Fucking. Legendary!

Ok. I never thought I'd say it. This is by far the most metal episode ever. There is at least 2 death metal albums worth of material here.

S.O.G.= STUPENDOUS OVERSIZED GONADS, bravery and honor at another level👍

John Stryker Meyer is easily the best guest on here! His other episodes are absolutely insane!

I’ve listened to 100’s of podcasts and these jocko w tilts ones are PURE GOLD

John Stryker Meyer! Took a road trip yesterday just to listen.

1:28:22 - "I've got a used helmet if you wanna use it." I actually laughed out loud at this. Tilt you're one dark humored bamf

These men were in large part, sons of WW2 veterans, same values, standing on broad shoulders..thanks Jocko, the exposure you provide helps bridge generations.

As a former Scarface Marine from circa 1995 to 1999 its amazing to hear a piece of the squadron's history documented lime this.

I’ve listened to a lot of War stories but Oscar 8 Lynn Black that is truely the most incredible story I’ve ever heard. Make a fort out of the dead NVA using there weapons and ammunition, charging through the enemies extended line when your about to be over run, going on the offensive attacking mortar tubes, heroism bravery courage, those words don’t seem to do it justice. Medal of honour 10 times over. Macvsog some of the bravest craziest bad ass warriors I’ve ever heard about. Done right what an incredible movie

This guy deserves a Medal of Honor without no question, this is one the most craziest stories ever and he actually survived

The tilt podcasts are my favourite

Tilts Back!!! Sorry Lynn Black couldn’t make it. No matter how many times I read it I’m always amazed at the Odds against these men . Thanks Jocko

Someone needs to make movies about this man! Him and Dick Thompson!

Its always incredible when Jocko and Stryker get together. Their comradery, humility, and deep respect and appreciation for each other is palpable. Such an honor to experience.

I get so caught up in Jocko's reading that when he coughed I thought it was in the book

I literally clicked the like button even before Jocko's introduction, knowing this is going to be another awesome episode.

Tilt telling stories is great. Glad to see him back again. LLTFM

I think Lynne Black's mission in the middle part of this episode is undoubtably the most violent engagement Jocko has covered on the podcast. Truly unbelievable that anyone survived to tell the tale.

LOVE these SOG guys on here. Absolutely the best..I'd be over the moon if Pat Watkins and Spider Parks got on with Jocko. The stories are insane and their humor is fantastic.

It’s great to see you’re doing well Mr. Meyer. Thank you for everything you went through to protect our nation.

DUDE! I WATCHED THE ORIGINAL TRIO 3 TIMES EACH! HELL YEAH

Though I have enjoyed all of your podcasts, the John Stryker Meyer series has been my absolute favorite.. I have seen each episode multiple times. This happens to be my third or fourth the viewing of episode 247 as a matter of fact. Once again, God bless you Jocko for your bringing these American Heroes the Acclaim that they deserve. The chemistry between you and John is awesome!

I cant believe you have Tilt back on , cant wait to hear from Lynn Black!! Other episodes were mind boggling crazy

Tilt: "You've been there....... yeah....." Jocko: "No, I HAVEN'T been there!!" GOOD!!!

A true hero, great American and a wonderful down to earth man.

I’ve seen the comment “I’ve never clicked so fast” and I always mutter ‘yeah sure bud’ but I really have never clicked on anything so fast in my life. I’m not a regular listener but listening to Jocko’s Vietnam guests is the best time I can imagine. I’d just tired of listening to Tilt. Thompson and the Frenchman and then this drops. Commence....

"Danger Close" came out in 2019 about the Australian and New Zealand solders. It's based on the real battle of Long Tan. This took place in the rubber plantation that J Meyer talked about.

So glad John is back!

These guys arent getting any younger. Buy their books. They walked amongst us quietly for many years. They deserve our appreciation and these days that's in the form of buying their books.

Another podcast featuring "Tilt"? YES!!! Thank you for getting the story of SOG out to the people.

I’ve listened to the other podcast with this gentleman multiple times really awesome you guys got him back on!

These men executed likely the most epic battles in history. Makes me proud to be an American.

Thank You Jocko. Thank You John Striker Meyer. Thank You Lynne Black. Thank You Dick Thompson, RIP The Frenchman 🙏.Thank You MAC V SOG . 🇺🇸 the history of the MAC V SOG are by far my favorite podcasts. Thank You Echo. Look forward to hearing from "Tilt" again & learning more about the MAC V SOG teams of Vietnam. (+100 % casualties , 3 mission contracts , 3 operators vs 3,000 NVA ! I hope that 1.1 who had the meltdown didn't get assigned as a 1.0 & lead a team again ! I cannot wait to read & find out what happened.)

I read WTF a few years ago. All I could think while reading the account of Oscar 8 was how on earth did Black not receive the MOH for this. Good God!

Soon as I seen Tilt was back on had to turn JRE off an listen to this..

Never ceases to amaze me how we can have the greatest military in the world capable of defeating any enemy controlled by politicians that make decisions that somehow make it impossible to achieve victory, and this has been going on since Korea (with the exception of the first gulf war)

Great to see Tilt back! These SOG missions were beyond insane. Amazing anyone survived.

This is the best Jocko Podcast so far......that was intense. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot !!!!!!!!!!!

I love the nam podcasts! The sog guys are awesome!

YES. John Stryker Meyer is the GOAT

Uk watcher This has to be made into a Netflix documentary, unbelievable bravery, before there story's are lost forever. I listened to 3 in a row, the balls on these guys .

5:57 - Forward Operating Base 1 (also known as FOB 1, Phu Bai Airfield and Camp Hochmuth) “is a former U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps base south of Huế, in central Vietnam. The Army Security Agency, operating under cover of the 3rd Radio Research Unit (3rd RRU), established a radio facility at Phu Bai in 1963, 12 km southeast of Huế on Highway 1. The operational unit was later redesignated as the 8th Radio Research Field Station (8th RRFS). In 1965, the U.S. Marine Corps established a base across Highway 1 from the 3rd RRU facility. In late 1965, The 3rd Marine Division established its headquarters at Phu Bai and would remain there until late 1967, when it was moved forward to Đông Hà. In late November 1967, the base was named Camp Hochmuth in honor of Bruno Hochmuth, Commanding General, 3rd Marine Division, who was killed in a helicopter explosion north of Huế. In June or July 1968, U.S. Special Forces established Forward Operating Base 1 (FOB 1) at Phu Bai. The base remained in use until early 1969. On 30/31 January 1968, the base was hit by Vietcong mortar and rocket fire as part of the Tet Offensive. The base was used to support U.S. and ARVN forces fighting in the Battle of Huế. The first relief force was dispatched from Phu Bai to the MACV Compound in Huế City. On 15 February 1968, General Creighton Abrams established MACV forward at Phu Bai to assume direct control of US forces in northern I Corps, which were then engaged in the Battle of Huế, the Battle of Khe Sanh, and the Tet Counteroffensive. On 10 March 1968, MACV Forward, having served its purpose, was converted to a Corps headquarters and designated Provisional Corps, Vietnam, under the command of Lieutenant General William B. Rosson. Rosson exercised operational control over the 3rd Marine Division (Reinforced), the 1st Cavalry Division, the 101st Airborne Division (Reinforced) and assigned Corps troops. The new Corps also co-operated closely with the ARVN 1st Division in the area. Provisional Corps, Vietnam, was designated XXIV Corps on 12 August 1968. The 45th Engineer Group moved north to the Phu Bai area in February 1968, where it assumed general construction support missions for the I Corps Tactical Zone. The group then remained in the Da Nang area until departing Vietnam. In 1969, the 85th Evacuation Hospital moved from Qui Nhơn and was established at the northwest end of the airfield, adjacent to Highway 1. That same year, the headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division was moved to Phu Bai. Units based at Phu Bai during this period included: 220th Aviation Company, and HMM-161 (October 1969 - September 1970)." Coordinates: 16°24′06″N 107°42′10″E 27:06 - "Forward Operating Base 4 (also known as FOB 4) is a former Military Assistance Command, Vietnam - Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) Command and Control North base. It was near the Marble Mountains southeast of Da Nang, Vietnam. Seabees from NMCB 12 built sea huts on the base in 1968. The base was located immediately north of the Marble Mountains and south of Marble Mountain Air Facility. It was one of the six FOBs the special forces had in Vietnam. On the night of 22-23 August 1968, as part of their Phase III Offensive, a company from the Viet Cong (VC) R20 Battalion and a sapper platoon infiltrated the base, killing 17 Special Forces soldiers (their largest one-day loss of the war) and wounding another 125 allied soldiers. Thirty-two VC were killed." Coordinates: 16.007°N 108.262°E 44:00 - "The Iron Triangle (Vietnamese:Tam Giác Sắt) was a 120 square miles (310 km2) area in the Bình Dương Province of Vietnam, so named due to it being a stronghold of Viet Minh activity during the war. The region was under control of the Viet Minh throughout the French war in Vietnam and continued to be so throughout the phase of American involvement in the Vietnam War, despite concerted efforts on the part of US and South Vietnamese forces to destabilize the region as a power base for their enemy, the communist North Vietnamese-sponsored and-directed South Vietnamese insurgent movement, the Viet Cong (VC). The location of the Iron Triangle was between the Saigon River on the west and the Tinh River on the east and bordering Route 13 about 25 miles (40 km) north of Saigon. The southern apex of the "triangle" was seven miles (11 km) from Phú Cường, the capital of Bình Dương Province. Its proximity to Saigon was both a reason for American and South Vietnamese efforts to eradicate it, as well as why it remained a crucial area for Communist forces to control. The terrain within the Iron Triangle was flat, almost featureless, and covered by dense brush and undergrowth. The clearings, especially in the northern part, were thick with elephant grass, higher than a man's head. The surface was scarred by countless bomb and shell craters so that vehicular movement off the narrow, rough dirt roads was nearly impossible, even tracked vehicles had difficulty. A vast network of tunnels and trenches, most of them caved-in and abandoned, laced this ground that had been the scene of battles since the early days of the second Indochina war."

Listened to all the SOG podcasts, all are amazing stories and tales. These men are beyond brave! Some BAD MEN!! Unreal!

Love SOG and Nam vets tell of their experiences. Jocko's struggle with Vietnamese pronunciation is also hilarious.

When I need to grind hard at work, I listen to the sog episodes. Specially Tilt's.

Jocko never disappoints me. Always, Always brings his A game

I've been waiting for Tilt to come back on. I check every day.

Love these podcasts with John Meyers . Thank you for your service! Welcome home! Son of a Vietnam Vet

If Lynn is still alive, come on Tilt, take him on podcast with you

I just binge watched all of these SOG podcasts, so good- these guys were total professional warriors. Just ordered “across the fence” love these~ keep it up as long as you can

the stream of consciousness, borderline humorous, often perfectly recalled moment by moment observations of the Alabama recon team’s end of the world 10000 to 1 battle told in a stilted Saigon debriefing is fantastic. The weird relationship between 1-1 and 1-2 unspools through the streets of Saigon on the way to the formal debrief, then in the briefing room. Chapter 2 I believe is one of the greatest war story passages ever told.

The Aussies ran into a little trouble too on a rubber plantation at Long Tan.

Love the John Meyer episodes, always fun and informative.

Tilt is awesome, was excited to see he is back on.

Out of Dublin Ireland. I have so much respect for John and his men. Love hearing these stories. Thank you Jocko. Listening for year’s first comment.

I don't read often. I just ordered two books just from the way Jocko talks about them. Turning my life around.

Respect Black Jack from the First Battalion the Royal Australian Regiment 1965, thanks for showing the way.

Best story of the podcast so far. Crazy. Thank you for telling it.

2:48:41 "It's these damn debriefs" That is SO BADASS!!!

These SOG stories are absolutely incredible. I want to see more podcasts from all the Vietnam Recon/Special Forces guys. LRRPs, Force Recon, MIKE Force, MACVSAR, etc

Just binged watched the last 3, these are the best war stories!

Jocko Sogcast -- let's make it a thing.

First time I’ve ever watched a pod cast this long. WOW I was glued to the story as a veteran myself I felt inadequate as a mere aircraft mechanic for 6 years. I realize I could has done more but I feel secure that what I worked on never failed and the crew came home alive and safe mission accomplished. God bless America never forget.

TILT. Thank you for your service.

Tilt. 4 of us watched this and didn’t say anything for 5 hrs. My respect to you all.

You gotta get Lynn Black on here. Amazing stories!

This was by far, hands down, the most astonishing story i have ever heard in my life.

another podcast where i was glued to the screen the entire 3 and a half hours, much respect for all the SOG guys, unbelievable heroism and balls of steel

We need more of Tilt, and S.O.G stories .Keep rewatching all of them over an over. Thank you!

John Stryker Meyer true legit warrior patriot and badass SOG Operator

Jocko reading makes it intense and I can’t stop listening. I can just image everything he reads and just imagine like I can see it all go down. Thank you to all our Military service members for what they do. 🇺🇸

I don't think Hollywood has enough ordinance to make a movie about any of these guys. So glad the survivors got to finally enjoy life. 🇺🇸👍

Tilt! Oh mean this is getting watched today. Every podcast I'm finding new heroes

Yeaaaaahhhhh. Tilts a different kind of dude. Love to see him

Dan Carlin once said” Reading history made me lose taste for fiction.”........YEP.

Everytime I flip my pillow at night I'm afraid I'll find Tilt in his "R.O.N" under it. Legend has it he taught The Boogie Man his scare tactics...

Just a legend. John Meyer.

TILT, JOCKO, ECHO... Thank you

Good gracious. I hope it becomes clear to history sooner than later how powerful and even unique are Jocko and Echo's Podcasts.
