Tisha is actually a part of this episode. It’s 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’t 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 “Navy centric” app that he recently discovered. Damo recalls his “blackout” experience in Millington, questioning the military’s preparedness when unforeseen circumstances arise. Damon questions the amount of “red tape” that comes into play when you’re trying to make changes. The guys clarify some information from our last episode about enclosures for the “Letter to the Board” submission to ESSB. Rumor Mill for the first time on the pod! Let’s hear what’s 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 “disconnect” 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.
