A Life of Service and Sacrifice with Navy SEAL Captain Pete "Bullfrog" Wikul, part 1.

2:05 So rites of passage is something we missed today in the Xbox enabled generation kids can believe they're commandos because they can go to Amazon Prime and buy armor and, and get AR fifteens on the corner and go around acting like tough guys.

3:17 There's no one best thing to be in the world as just being truly yourself as the best thing.

10:58 I'm going to do a couple things. I want to be a jazz drummer. But in the meantime, I'm also going to help homeless veterans find a place to live and a job I still wanted to give a little bit back, although, you know, when you do close to 40 years, some people say, Oh, you were giving back. I said, I don't have to get back I already gave. I gave 40 years.

11:23 All of us that have served, we can't get it out of our blood. We can't get it out of our psyche, we can't.

21:54 Now I have this incredible jazz band with Grammy Award winning and critically acclaimed and ageless musicians. And if you ask me why I'm playing with these guys, I can only tell you, it's directed by God, you know, now I can swing them.

23:41 The first part of my destiny was being a Man at Arms was being a Navy SEAL. And, and not everybody gets it really gets a destiny because life gets in the way, as a kid, you know what you want to do, but life gets in the way, and you never get a chance to do it.

33:01 Something, we never talked about it. The mission is the music. You count. And this is the beauty. It's just like going on a mission. You start play, you count down that tune, you play the tune. And if somebody makes a mistake, they don't. But if I make a little mistake, they jump on my grenade and they do something so nobody knows that I may have just made a mistake. Awesome.
