Tish went to go see the new Beyoncé movie. Of course, Damo has some pressure for her fandom. It’s commissioning ceremony season. Congratulations to everyone making their transitions! What’s a food you love that you weren’t introduced to until you joined the military? Damon shows up a little late and fires off from the jump! How old is too old for ‘Big Mama’ to be in the kitchen? Our President just celebrated his 81st birthday. The guys are all cheers but Tisha has some thoughts. Damo puts his B.O.O.K. on an indefinite pause. The trio catches up on each other’s weeks. Damo takes a moment to talk to the social media critics. This transitions into a conversation about a recent incident between the entertainer, T.I. and his son, King. The Navy is testing the idea of letting recruits use cell phones during basic training. Is this a good or a bad thing? Why are troops lying about their service to get girls? An update on Al Pacino and his “baby mama.” The Amphibious Squadron 5 Commodore was fired and the general public doesn’t know why. But, they definitely have a bunch of assumptions. Ivan Snook feels like mustangs shouldn’t exist. Is there any validity to his thoughts? Do Better: Damon doesn’t have a “Do Better” as he is finally appreciative of the Navy Lodge. Damo’s “do better” is him. He speaks about his lack of information for what he needs to do directly after having the baby. Damon discusses the Senior Enlisted Marketplace grading criteria and how he really feels about it. Why is the cell phone carrier required for leave requests? Damo expresses his current struggles with getting qualified on his ship. A few questions from Sailors about MAP, Evals, and a previous episode. These and more topics are covered in this episode.
