Tisha is actually a part of this episode. It\u2019s just very hard to hear her. CPO Initiation season is officially upon us and Damon discusses feeling disconnected from season events due to his job schedule. Football season is upon us as well! Damon is finally picking Master Chief billets. He explains why he wouldn\u2019t want to serve on the same ship as his son. Do Better: Damo - (1) his ability to shine his boots. (2) Your bad experience is not the Navy experience. Damon - Stop questioning the process. Damo reveals why he removed about 15 minutes for the last episode. Fact: Our young Sailors are survivors. Damo reviews a \u201cNavy centric\u201d app that he recently discovered. Damo recalls his \u201cblackout\u201d experience in Millington, questioning the military\u2019s preparedness when unforeseen circumstances arise. Damon questions the amount of \u201cred tape\u201d that comes into play when you\u2019re trying to make changes. The guys clarify some information from our last episode about enclosures for the \u201cLetter to the Board\u201d submission to ESSB. Rumor Mill for the first time on the pod! Let\u2019s hear what\u2019s the people are talking about on these deckplates. Should CMDCMs get more money? Do they even deserve it? Can an LCPO have 51% of the decision making process in his/her division? The concept of \u201cdisconnect\u201d is explored going both up and down the chain of command. The guys address the MCPONs current focus on Chief Petty Officers and the CPO Initiation.
