David Goggins: I Want to Be a Firefighter

you plan out your future I do so I'm very go so I add that countability mirror but I also plan out all my small big time you know medium goals all these things I do in life I'm a big planner I'm a big planner so you know right now I'm going back to scratch so I'm trying to be wildland firefighter you know I did that for a couple of seasons and you're gonna do that now yeah so I did it for I did it for two not not full season but but but to half season so this year was my second year doing it I had to I had to stop about two months before it ended because this book to start promoting the book and started finishing the book up but I've been doing the opportunity that's some [ __ ] work man those [ __ ] guys get half what made you decide to do that the work you know like when your hands stop becoming really calloused it's time to get back to work you know like I retired from the military I did twenty-one years in the military the military was my life loved everything about it the discipline of it there's something about going back in the and the money you make is nil it's not about the money at all it's just about the hard work I've always been looking for those people like those guys like you're out there digging a 3-mile fire line literally a three-mile fire line you're cutting down these [ __ ] huge ash trees to dig this fire line and the fire line is like 20 to 18 inches it for three miles you got like [ __ ] 12 people digging this [ __ ] and I'm either thinking man this time the hardest [ __ ] work I've done in my life and it's that challenge that you can't find sometimes by going to the gym or by running you know 100 mile race is that if that new challenge of like hey and then you get done digging alright you've worked 17 hours 16 17 hours you get your [ __ ] little [ __ ] sleeping mat out shack down boom right down the floor right down the ground get up get some more you know be out there two three weeks sometimes man that's doing that [ __ ] and there's great satisfaction and the kind of work that you do out there no one's watching no one gives a [ __ ] it's hard dangerous [ __ ] work and you know you're doing it to help [ __ ] out man you know how did you get drawn into that so I got drawn into it because I was always looking for the next challenge and as I kept what is there after the military what the [ __ ] is there man I'm 43 I'm getting back into shape you know I'm [ __ ] getting these health issues for taking care of that I had and I started once again Google is amazing [ __ ] hardcore [ __ ] jobs you know pretty much and your heart hard as [ __ ] you know that's I found the Hearst you know like the first race you know hardest races in the world so basically I started find this wildland firefighter like what the [ __ ] is wildland firefighting it's our Google and a start grouping with smoke jumpers you know I'm like what the [ __ ] these guys do what they jump out of planes and attack small fires like that's the [ __ ] somebody okay okay we could put down a list and okay hotshot what's a hotshot dude they go out with you know big fires and they dig fire line I'm like [ __ ] with dick from it and I saw a video of it like that [ __ ] looks like it sucks it's hot you know there's you know I mean you're out there on your own I mean you know you're out there on your own man just digging fire lines so that's kind of I found it I'm always looking for the next challenge I'm never satisfied with oh I did that like you know I became a seal I was an Air Force guy I became a seal I went to Ranger School I tried out for Delta Force twice you know like I'm always looking for wood is next looking for those uncommon men and women uncommon people because I'm trying to I'm trying to grow I'm trying to grow and a lot of times you know you won't be the only person that's making yourself grow you're looking for those cameron haines those joe rogan those people who are like just different people who understand what the [ __ ] you're saying because a lot of things I had to say I can't save them all I can't save them all you may not understand them so I had to really find a way to communicate with people so they don't think oh my god what did you just say so these cameron haines is these people get it so i go to those little those little nuclear spots get a little more strengthing a little more knowledge get a little more tools take those tools with me put in my tool shed and I go off gone you know down the road on a new journey so that's what I do well the proof is in the pudding if you're really doing Woodland fire fighting cuz there's no glory in that no sir no there's no fame there's no there's no one taking pictures of you no and that paycheck is small I'm a [ __ ] Mickey why don't you eat today Wow yeah there's there's nothing involved in that man they work their ass off so but you're just doing it as a challenge that's it does they freak out when you're there you know what I I think they're one and why is a forty three year old retired man you know all the stuff you've done why are you out here yeah and I explained it to him I'm out here I'm out here to you know to to learn from you all to grow and also to never forget where I came from you know that's where it starts it's that mentality of I'm gonna pick up that [ __ ] Pulaski and I'm gonna dig this [ __ ] fire line four three two miles that's that mentality I never want to lose I never want to get so nice right oh yeah I did it man I did it I did it I'm good that mentality if I'm willing to pick up that shovel and I'm gonna dig a three mile line it's there's some about that mentality that I'm ready to go to work at any time and that's what keeps me those are the sparks like you know I look at motivation that's just a spark it's like it's like kindling you know how a big fire starts it starts with a little smoke it started a little cigarette being thrown in the woods next thing to all Californians [ __ ] burn up that's what I've been doing my whole life as I find these little sparks and once that little thing takes off that's a that's a one hour fuel then you got ten hour fuel then you can move that thing to a 10,000 hour fuel these big logs and big trees that burn for days and that's where you want to bring that motivation that's what you want to bring that Drive so if you have no kingly the kindling is me going out with these young guys saying all right [ __ ] 43 it's a 20 year old keep up with them that killing now when I leave those young guys it has now become that 10 hour fuel and now that $10,000 a few that I used throughout my whole life I use that there my whole life man hey this summer at 43 you went out there and you did that man so you know you're not giving up yet you're not done yet not today you're not done today that's a crazy choice to make though woodland firefighter is a very interesting choice it is it's a nasty job man because again that's this proof-of-concept like you're really just doing just for the struggle that's it
