Only On The Midwatch

March is Women's History Month, and what better way to celebrate it than with our show's most historic female guest, granted the only female guest, we have ever had on the show. Jessie is an awesome person who has had great success throughout her Naval career. She exemplifies a go-getter mentality and enjoys serving her naval community as a CPO. In this episode, we show recognition to the women in our submarine force but also call out the unfortunate backlash that has been coming with the integration of women onboard submarines. Sprinkle in some great stories and maybe some jarring memories and it was a good time all-in-all. Thanks Jessie for coming back on!

ELT1, the admin of RC C*msock, is a STA-21 participant and submarine nuclear machinist's mate. I'm very grateful that he was willing to come on the show and share with everyone his experience with the application process for STA-21 as well as what to expect. For those of you seeking to eventually commission in the Navy, and those who want to know what options are available for your career should you enlist, give this episode a good listen! Thanks again ELT1(SS)!

It's been a while since we were able to consistently pursue the Only On The Midwatch podcast and Testdepth project. As you will hear in the show, a lot has happened these past couple of years but we are now at a place where we can focus our efforts on this awesome goal - to create a great community for submariners past, present, and future! So, stay locked, and stay tuned.

Be sure to visit our website www.teamtestdepth.com to read our latest blogs post that will cover varying topics of interest related to our community as well as summaries of our episodes. This will be a new way to see what you missed on the show. Another new feature of our site allows you to submit yourself for a chance to come onto the show and shoot the sh*t. Remember that we want to look out for our own, so if you are a submarine veteran and have something you would like to promote, contact us with details and we can see how we may be able to help a fellow bubblehead grow.

There was a lot to talk about! Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccines for federal workers, uniform regs, a few sea stories and some other stuff. As usual, love shootin' the sh*t with Jessie and hope you guys do too. 

This was one of my favorite conversations on the show thus far. The Host of Don't Give Up The Ship Podcast or DGUTS Podcast was willing to have a long chat with me about leadership and his mission with his projects. It was an incredible conversation and thrust me back into the spirit of a Second Class Petty Officer looking to make positive change in the work space and community. I love how candid and true he really is and I am sure you all will appreciate that as well. This man has got a real passion for leadership and we look forward to having him come back on to further this discussion. Let us know what you guys think by hitting us up on instagram, or sending us a message here! Thanks

If you are an OG listener of the show, you know Jessie and her story. She's back to help us kick off Season 3 of the Only On The Midwatch Podcast and begin a mini-series of episodes we will be doing with her. Jessie is a great person to talk to considering her resume and the fact that she's a hard charger. We hope that she can pass on some valuable info to all of you would be submariners and current sailors out there looking for a nudge in the right direction, all while having some laughs! Thanks for rocking with us guys. We hope you enjoy!
