Damon and Damo both enjoyed their Thanksgiving weeks in two completely different ways. Damon had an intimate meal with his family, even though his son Mark is missing due to mission requirements. Damo had a chance to visit his Grandfather in Florida and interview him about his life. Good luck to all E6’s getting ready for the E7 exam. But damn, why is the test right after the holiday break? We can never appreciate our audience enough. Thank you all so much for the love and appreciation. The holiday season can be a rough time for service members and their families. The guys take a moment to acknowledge that and provide a few resources for anyone in need. NAVADMIN 261/22 was just released and it’s a game changer for senior enlisted Sailors hoping to make Master Chief. The guys take a deep dive on the instruction, discussing how the feel about it, amongst other things. In a very personal conversation Damo challenges himself to a weight loss journey and asks for your help. Damon expresses how he feels about potentially retiring without making Master Chief. These and more topics are covered in this episode. Remember to follow the ‘Permission to Speak Freely’ podcast on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and subscribe on YouTube.
