Hi everyone! Somehow, the long and fancy episde description we submitted with the podcast didn't fully upload. Please excuse the mistake... and see the details, below.

Please join SOMB today as we talk with Pamela K. Pitkin, USNA '82. We spent an afternoon with Pamela discussing the great class of 82, life at USNA, life beyond USNA, and what she thinks about as the 50th approaches.

Pamela also asked that we include a few notes here as corrections:

Regarding men in the SOSUS field, many SOSUS male officers were to sent to the SOSUS community when they were too senior to discharge and not allowed to advance in either nuclear subs or aviation units. During 1978 - 1982, I believe there were about 200 women to 4,200 men. Now there are closer to 1200 women to 4,200 men, improving the dynamics between all midshipmen. And finally, Pamela interacted with many professional officers who were outside her chain of command while commissioned. In her chain of command, however, there were very few who cared to acknowledge how she was being railroaded out of the United States Navy. Please join us for the conversation!
