When things are going bad, you have to stay calm. You have to learn how to control your emotions and don't get all excited about something when things are going wrong. Jocko: Every time I ever talked on the radio, my goal was to never sound panicked, never sound emotional,. No matter what was going on, sound very calm and cool. That means whenever things were going crazy and I was about to have to get on theRadio, what would I have to do? I had to take a breath.
