Damo and Tish have the helm on this one, opening the episode up with a discussion on some of the latest uniform policy changes (NAVADMIN 031/24). One of the major changes is that Sailors can now put their hands in their pockets, but do we really care? Damo reads a message from a Sailor regarding DMAP Phase IV before a deep dive into the new NAVADMIN (017/24) and what it means for Sailors. Is this directly connected to the new OBLISERV authorization changes? A confidential reporting option for sexual harassment has been added to the equal opportunity policy (NAVADMIN 022/24). Damo checks off another line on his “Navy Bucket List” by attending his command’s holiday party. Tisha got a job! Tish is looking for some women interested in doing a panel for Women’s History Month to discuss the life and times of women in the armed forces. MIa Khalifa crashes out again with a statement about how being in the army is worse than being on Onlyfans. Single-parent veterans are struggling to access benefits after completing their military careers. The Air Force is trying to entice retirees to re-enlist for a limited time period, but is it worth it? More Commanding Officers were relieved from their duties last week. Marines claim that there is a limited amount of amphibious vessels to transit troops to areas where they are needed. Service members are encouraged to go off-base for mental health care, however, are they being seen in a timely matter? Do Better: Section Leaders doing too much on duty (Damo), stop trying to do things the “Navy way” as a civilian (Tisha). Stop calling the command to investigate your cheating spouse, we are fighting wars over here. Should men be able to leave deployment for the birth of their children? Should SOY nominees always be previous SOQ recipients? Damo asks a question about tampons. These and more topics are covered in this episode of the ‘Permission to Speak Freely’ podcast.
