Damon, Damo, and Tisha are joined by COMNAVSURFPAC CMDCM Charles “Chubbs” Smith for an episode full of jewels. The crew starts just catching up with each other to see how things are going. Chubbs talks about the power of having a squared-away uniform, remembering a sea story from his time as an undesignated Seamon. He then discusses passing on the legacy of service to his son, who’s currently enlisted in the Navy. Damo talks to Chubbs about being the “first-generation” of family members to achieve certain things. They discuss the idea of unapologetically being yourself. Tisha asks Chubbs about the differences between being a TYCOM Command Master Chief and being the CMC of a vessel/command. Chubbs remembers one of his craziest DRB experiences and talks about how he holds his Chiefs accountable in the event they violate UCMJ. Has the Navy recovered from COVID? Damo and Chubbs have a light debate about the differences they’ve seen in the recovery process. We can’t talk about Covid without discussing extremism. How did Chubbs’ TRIAD handle the protests? Experiences with racism are expressed. Chubbs drops some jewels for any Senior Enlisted Leader going to their first command. Board Eligible results are out! What’s next for eligible Sailors? Chubbs gives advice to all the Sailors that are up for Chief. Tish asks about marriage and personal life. Chubbs provides an entry to our #DoBetter segment about collateral duties and manning issues. Damon has a “selfish” #DoBetter for retirees.
