It’s time for us to ban together and take a stand! Are you with us? Well come on, we’re going to the highest levels of government to make the “day after the Super Bowl” an official “Day Off.” Damo reflects on his time as “acting” Command Master Chief as the his new CMDCM has officially checked into the command. An interaction with a Civilian Supervisor leads Damo to ask what everyone’s thoughts are on Senior Leadership receiving recognition and awards. Tisha experienced the “AirBNB guest from hell.” Kids can say some hurtful things at times. Damon and Tisha share their experiences. Things somehow get really gross for no reason. Let’s switch it up and talk about Valentine’s Day plans. Tisha provides clear guidance on how to know if you are a “Boat Boo.” Listen up. What was the whole deal with that Chinese spy balloon anyway? The trio discusses what they believe people tend to get wrong about each of them. Damo takes a deeper dive into the Hero of the Week, Sergeant Dwight H.
