“I learned in SEAL training that if I wanted any extra time to study the academic material we were given, prepare our room and my uniforms for an inspection, or just stretch out aching muscles, I had to make that time because it did not exist on the written schedule.  When I check into my first SEAL Team, that practice continued.  If I wanted extra time to work on my gear, clean my weapons, study tactics or new technology, I needed to make that time.  The only way you could make time, was to get up early.  That took discipline.” ~ Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership (Page 271)
