Congratulations are in order for all of our newly promoted Shipmates!

Since this is the episode before Thanksgiving that won’t be heard until after, the guys and Tish discuss thanksgiving plans that will be memories by the time you hear this. What would it take for you to eat thanksgiving dinner on your ship if you’re not on duty or a member of the Triad? Shout out to the duty sections holding it down and standing the watch during the holidays. Should single Sailors stand duty on Christmas to let their shipmates with children have the day with their families? How much would a “drug deal” like that cost though? With the release of NAVADMIN 277/23, the suspension of high-year tenure is now indefinite. Damo addresses UH Barracks residents stealing from unmanned NEX Micro Mart self check out machines. Somehow this turns into a DRB conversation. The trio discusses President Biden’s recent visit to Norfolk Naval Base. The Navy has been doing a lot better with respecting people’s time while on leave. However, what are some of the reasons why you would want to be bothered while on leave? Is the Safety and Occupational Health manual being phased out? The Navy seeks to raise the allowable limits of accidental whale collisions. The Army is trying to get the people that they kicked out due to refusing the COVID vaccine back. They ain’t coming back y’all. Do Better: Damon - People claiming that veterans will no longer receive a pension because of BRS. Damo - Meta trying to force the Threads app on us. The guys get into the things they are thankful for. Tish reflects on what she appreciates. Damo asks Tish to stand on statements that she made in the last episode. The team discusses getting leadership getting Sailors accolades for their own satisfaction and bragging rights. What’s the hardest trait to work against when it comes to mentorship and development. These and more topics are covered in this episode. Remember to follow the ‘Permission to Speak Freely’ podcast on TikTok, Facebook, Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and subscribe on YouTube.
