Welcome to the very last episode of 2021. Andy, Joe and Josh return with special guests Nick and first timer, Trish. The Plan of the Day is as follow: Intros (with beers). We give cheers to a couple of special sailors. We get to know, first time on the podcast, guest Trish. We speak a little about Colonel Donald Cook, who our first ship (USS Donald Cook DDG-75) was named after. We revisit bootcamp and talk about steel beach picnics. We ponder what we would do if we had the powers of a CO. Lastly, we give our very last of the year beer reviews and we have a little fireside chat about what's on our minds.

A truly inspirational human. I sit down with former BM with the U.S. Navy, RJW. We discuss his career in the Navy, how he battled depression, and his origin story as he sets his eyes towards gold in the squared circle. 

This week I have a very special guest, host of the "On The Gunline" Podcast, Danny L. Danny is a former U.S. Army Howitzer Section Chief. In this episode we discuss how he joined the Army, his experience while serving, including his ridiculous first mission while deployed. We discuss some of the differences between the Army and Navy. We go over what led him to transition away from the Army and how he got into podcasting. After you listen to our conversation, I encourage everyone to check out "On The Gunline". Enjoy!
