Welcome! As Mental Health Awareness Month draws to a close, the team called Kenny and Ryan to pinch hit with Nick and a special guest, CAPT Patrick Dill. CAPT Dill has been spearheading a campaign to better track and take care of Coasties from all communities, even the ones who float on boats. He shares some phenomenal insight into how we are taking care of our people. The team discusses doing better as an organization, but also doing better as friends.
