Paul Kingsbury is back. This time, he’s filling in as a guest host. He starts by asking Damo about what’s currently happening in the Navy. He asks about Culture of Excellence 2.0. An indoor inauguration is a rare occurrence in our nation’s history. The cast talk discusses its significance and the expectations for Carrie Underwood’s ‘America The Beautiful’ performance. Lloyd Austin says farewell from the SecDef role. We solute his accomplishments, but Damo has some issues with something that he did during his tenure. What should we know about Pete Hegseth? Two new aircraft carriers have been announced: The USS George W. Bush and the USS Bill Clinton. People have jokes already. Are Aircraft Carriers becoming obsolete due to recent advancements in technology? The cast highlights the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his accomplishments. They also discuss how his form of leadership can be impactful in the present day. The crew dives into ALNAV 001/25, what it means for sexual harassment reporting and the impact these changes have on Commanders, victims, and offenders. Where will PTSF land if TikTok is banned? Damo has an issue with social media food critics. Why don’t people speak out about toxic leaders during investigations even though they all know what’s going on?
