The One About One-Way Conversations

Published: July 2, 2022, 4:37 p.m.

Are we back? Maybe. We\u2019ll see, we guess. Damo opens this episode with a recap of his experience at the Senior Enlisted Academy in Newport, Rhode Island. The guys catch up on their weeks, which include car accidents, bad AC, and women that exaggerate (because they do sometimes, lol). Damo asked Damon how he feels about the phrase, \u201cThis is going to be a one-way conversation.\u201d A discussion on hardest decision made as a leader strangely transitions into a reflection on berthing wars. Do Command Master Chief\u2019s get paid enough money? Should \u201chigh-year tenure\u201d be a thing?\xa0 In this week\u2019s \u201cDo Better\u201d segment, Damo talks about gyms on military bases that close too early. Damon shares his thoughts on DEOCS surveys and the importance of taking them. The army just announced they will start accepting recruits without high school diplomas or GEDs. Wait, they already took that back. What is NAVADMIN 142/22 and what is it telling us about the state of our recruiting and manning. How\u2019s eNAVFIT working for you? Following the news of the overturn of Roe Vs. Wade, the guys discuss a little about what Sailors can and cannot say and the importance of voting. Electrical safety on ships is in the spotlight. Damon outlines the new guidance and Damo shares a personal story about dealing with the Chief\u2019s Mess when it came to an issue of electrical safety.
