Damon and Damo start this episode making excuses for why they haven’t released an episode for a while. Tisha joins the episode a little late and adds value to the “excuse” conversation.  Happy 248th birthday to the Navy! Rest well to all the Sailors we lost on the USS Cole on 12 Oct 2000. What the hell did Will Smith do to get him in the eternal dog house? Tisha has been doing some very interesting things in her free time. The trio talks about it. Damo talks about the plight of being new at a command when social events are going down. He also takes back his shoutout of the ‘Chow Call” app. Damon takes 60 seconds (or more) to talk about football. Simone Biles is back in the news for being the GOAT! Damo comes to the realization that his greatest weapon is Microsoft Outlook. Have you seen the one TikTok video? You know, where the Sailor is blatantly violating the Electrical Safety program. What are the rates/department that you do not want any smoke with? Is there any better access than the access to qualify people in RADM? The Navy will miss its recruiting goals all around the board this year, with active duty numbers being approximately 7,000 less than our goal. Tisha celebrates 100% disability. Do Better: Damon - The heads at the NGIS and Navy Lodge. Damo -  Adults with immature restroom habits. Tisha - a personal do better regarding a realtor in the San Diego area. How important is it to discuss big global news stories with your division? Damo questions the necessity of celebrities to speak out after every issue. A comment from the last episode sparks a conversation. What’s really going on with the Senior Enlisted Marketplace? Is “trust but verify” a dead figure of speech? A lot of comments were left under the CNOs video post about Suicide Prevention awareness. What exactly is it that we can do to help decrease ideations and suicides? A barrage of random questions ensues. Remember to follow the ‘Permission to Speak Freely’ podcast on TikTok, Facebook, Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and subscribe on YouTube.
