PLEASE BE ADVISED: This episode starts with a discussion of very sensitive topics that can be traumatic to your listening experience. Please fast forward as you see fit.\nDamon and Damo return from a three week hiatus and immediately start with a conversation about the massacre in Uvalde, Texas at Robb Elementary School which resulted in the loss of life for 19 children and two adults. They discuss mental health, bullying, and their opinions on gun laws in the United States. They reflect on the targeted killing of African Americans in Buffalo, New York. Rest In Peace to actor, Ray Liotta, who passed away in his sleep on May 26, 2022. What is going on in Fort Hood? The guys discuss Sgt. Jewel Scott\u2019s accusations against her leadership and Fort Hood\u2019s current reputation. The CNO recently made changes to his suggested reading lists, resulting in the removal of the \u201cwoke\u201d books that were previously listed. What is \u201cwoke\u201d anyway and why does it feel like a \u201cdirty\u201d word now? After all this talking, the guys finally catch up on what\u2019s been going on in their personal lives. Damon\u2019s son, Mark made a surprise visit to the family (that wasn\u2019t much of a surprise), Damon reacts. The Navy\u2019s number of deserters is currently higher than every other branch of the military and higher than it\u2019s been in four years. This conversation develops into a debate about contractual obligations. Damo recaps the weight of an audiogram for an aging engineer in the fleet. Congratulations to all of the newly appointed SCPOs and MCPOs. Top Gun 2 is finally here! Damo takes a deep dive into the world of Tom Cruise and how he believes this new film will impact Hollywood and the Navy. Would you let your team fail to prove how important your role is? Damon speaks about the absence of senior leadership in the positions that matter.
