For PHAs - Press 2

Published: April 17, 2023, 4 a.m.

Damo opens this episode addressing his recent issues with trying to get his Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) completed. Damon\u2019s #DoBetter shines a light on the lack of the \u201cteamwork\u201d aspect that he\u2019s witnessed during his recent ship visits. The guys discuss the importance of choosing the right mentor as opposed to finding someone that agrees with everything that you say. What are the pros and cons to choosing a mentor that\u2019s in the same division as you? The guys play catch up, discussing Damon\u2019s schedule as an assessor and Damo\u2019s \u201cRetirement Ceremony Uniform Mix Up.\u201d Do you know how many ribbons you should have on your ribbon rack? If so, how do you know? Damo asks Damon a few \u201cIntegrity Questions.\u201d Question No. 1: Have you ever ducked out of colors? Question No.2: Do you have any qualifications that you know you didn\u2019t earn? The conversation leads Damo to reflect on the time he earned his Letter of Instruction (LOI). Congratulations to all our Reservist that made Senior Chief and Master Chief! Have you ever heard of a Spiritual/Non-Religious Chaplin? The guys haven\u2019t either; they discuss. A former Navy Officer who was executed for the murder a junior Sailor will have his remains removed from Arlington National Cemetery. Our \u201cHeroes\u201d for this week is a Navy Search and Rescue team who that saved a snowmobiler in Washington. How do you prioritize? Damo discusses his theory about conversations. These topics and more are covered in this episode.
