Episode 81 | ”What If it Fails?”

With Tisha on vacation, Damon and Damo hold it down with a few critical topics. The conversation starts with Damo discussing his experience as a Resident Advisor living in the barracks. The guys provide updates on their personal lives and quickly get into the MCPON’s Call to Action to Chief Petty Officers addressing “Warfighting Competency.” A US Soldier, Pvt. Travis King, fled from South Korea to North Korea and the question is why. Who does that? Recruits are now enjoying concerts at Great Lakes? Damon’s “Do Better”: People with big trucks that are scared to drive them. Who knew the guys would ever talk about feedback reports? Quotas for selection to CPO are out. Best of luck to all to all who are eligible. NAVADMIN 168/23 just dropped accompanied by gripes, cheers, and a very funny social media back n’ forth. These topics and more are covered in this episode. Remember to follow the ‘Permission to Speak Freely’ podcast on TikTok, Facebook, Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and subscribe on YouTube.
