Watch Navy SEAL Jocko Willink break down combat scenes

"If your reserve parachute doesn't work, the procedure is...basically you're gonna hand salute the world and you're gonna hit the dirt...because you're gonna die," said former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink without much to indicate whether he's cracking a joke or not.

The retired Lieutenant Commander and recipient of the Silver Star and Bronze Star saw multiple combat deployments, including the Battle of Ramadi in Iraq. After his military career, he created a popular podcast, Jocko Podcast; co-founded Echelon Front, a premier leadership consulting company; and co-authored books like the #1 New York Times bestseller Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win.

He's nothing if not a commanding presence, which makes his commentary on combat scenes from movies all the more entertaining. Jocko Willink doesn't hold back.

Willink starts by breaking down the HALO (High Altitude Low Open) jump from Navy SEALS. He goes pretty deep into the mechanics of a HALO jump and mission logistics that are worth watching in the video above, but here's a highlight:

"In all branches of the military, you rely on each other to make sure you're safe. The guy's checking the other person's pins on his rig to make sure they're going to deploy the parachute properly...and then he's messing with him, which is pretty normal, too. If you know someone's scared of parachuting, then he's gonna get messed with a little bit more. Never let anyone know you're scared of something. Just keep it to yourself," Willink shared — and again...if he's amused, you'll never know. The guy has a straight-up poker face.

He goes on to describe what happens when a parachute malfunctions.

"There's a bunch of things that can go wrong with a parachute. I had one malfunction in my career," Willink reflected. "What do you do when your parachute doesn't open? You follow procedures. We train really hard to know what the procedures are."

He shared his own story of cutting away his main chute and pulling his reserve — which is also demonstrated in the Navy SEALs clip in the video above.

Willink moved on to the amphibious operations of Act of Valor.

"Just because you're on the SEAL Teams does not mean you're a sniper. Sniper is a specialized school that guys go to. And there's a bunch of different schools: you could be a communication expert, you could be a medic…" Willink illustrated.

Willink had a few problems.

"Let me pause it right here. It's just kind of … not realistic at all. I guess they're trying to make it look cool. It always surprises me a little bit because … it's the best job in the world. You don't really need to do anything to make it look cool. It is cool," he affirmed.

From ghillie suits to breaching operations to catching a target before he hits the water, Willink has something to say — and it's not always a critique. He has a lot of knowledge and experience, so it's cool to hear him break down what's going on in the scene and why the operators are doing what they do.
