The One About ”Volunteering” For ASF (Feat. CMDCS Aaron Paul)

Damon and Damo are joined by CMDCS Aaron Paul. They off talking about the upcoming season (of course). Not just the football season, it’s about to be some new Chiefs in the mess! Congratulations to the FY-23 Selectees! They chop it up with Aaron about his entry into the Navy and the two times that he considered separating. Another installment of the “Do Better” segment about waivers, doing “too much” to go viral, and communication. Damo asks Aaron for a non-incriminating regret of his. This leads to a conversation about CFLs and the responsibility of owning your role. DRB is discussed and the guys give their opinions on their different approaches to the process. Damo briefly discusses Navy Seal recruit, Kyle Mullen who recently passed away following “Hell Week.” You know we had to discuss Serena Williams. Congratulations on a great career. Who really should be taking out the trash? The guys discuss a recent post on social media about taking out the trash for the TRIAD. Th guys ask Aaron about lessons learned in his career and the process to become a Command Senior Enlisted Leader. These and more topics are discussed on this episode.
