This week on Permission to Speak Freely, Damon and Damo sit down with NC1 Corey Brennan for a conversation that starts with Navy recruiting and ends up going way beyond it. Corey breaks down what life is really like on recruiting duty, from competing for contracts and managing Future Sailors to MEPS, waivers, Genesis, recruiting ethics, and the things recruiters deal with that the Fleet rarely sees. He also opens up about his transition from QM to career recruiter, his aspirations to make Chief, and the uncertainty surrounding his future in the Navy as he navigates the service's beard and PFB policies. But somewhere along the way, the conversation leaves recruiting behind. The crew gets into social media, burnout, learning to take care of yourself when everyone depends on you, marriage, fatherhood, separation, and the challenge of finding space for yourself when life never seems to stop. Corey also turns the tables on Damo and Damon with a few questions of his own, leading to conversations about what the anchors actually give a Chief, leadership as access and influence, and what people really mean when they tell Sailors to “drink the Kool-Aid.” Plus: recruiting house calls gone wrong, a 47-pound applicant, Equinox refusing to leave Damo alone, expensive one-year-old birthday parties, and Damon reveals the veteran husband strategy of simply standing up when your wife starts cleaning. Another conversation that went exactly where it was supposed to go.   Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

This week we are joined by Marshall J Moore! Marshall J. Moore is the author of the Son of a Sailor cozy fantasy trilogy, the Rites of Resurrection epic fantasy trilogy, and over thirty published short stories. His story “Red Lanterns” won second place in the Baen Fantasy Adventure Award Short Story Contest. His latest novel, The Henchperson's Guide to Unionizing is out 9/22/26. Author Marshall J. Moore joins the show to talk about Henchperson's Guide to Unionizing, a cozy horror novel he describes as "Horrible Bosses meets What We Do in the Shadows," and how he uses character relationships to balance absurdity with real emotional weight around abuse, exploitation, and found community. He also traces his path as a storyteller — from becoming a reader in first grade and loving Animorphs, to his theater background and disciplined 2,000-3,000-word daily writing practice.

Damo and Aaron are back for a guest-free episode covering Navy leadership, quality of life, money, artificial intelligence, and everything that happens when the conversation goes completely off script.   The episode begins with a discussion about the latest CNO and MCPON town hall, including Sailor concerns about advancement exams, retention, housing, childcare, financial literacy, grooming standards, and whether Navy leadership is hearing what Sailors actually need. Damo and Aaron debate personal responsibility versus the Navy's responsibility to provide resources and support.   The conversation shifts to artificial intelligence and the growing capabilities of AI agents before taking a more personal turn when Aaron shares how he used AI to imagine a conversation with his late mother. From there, the guys get into movies, television, music, hip-hop, and the usual PTSF randomness.   The episode closes with a powerful leadership lesson inspired by the voice of Optimus Prime and the importance of being “strong enough to be gentle,” before Damo's Do Better challenges Sailors to invest in their own careers.       Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

Welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of USA Podcast. In this episode, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman sit down with retired Marine and veteran sailor Ray McFall. Ray shares his extensive journey from learning to sail in San Diego to purchasing his Hunter 456 and navigating the technical waters of the New England coast.We dive deep into a topic every sailor eventually faces: the choice between the romance of bluewater offshore passages and the engagement of coastal cruising. Ray discusses his initial plans for the Marion to Bermuda Race, the rigorous safety preparations required—including installing a removable inner forestay and completing a Safety at Sea course—and why he eventually decided that coastal adventures were a better fit for his current sailing goals.Preparation for Offshore Racing: Ray details the modifications and safety gear needed for a Bermuda run, including the importance of local knowledge and expert advice.The Reality of Bluewater Sailing: A first-hand account of a return delivery from Bermuda and why the "monotony" of the open ocean led Ray back to the variety of the East Coast.The Block Island Incident: A cautionary tale about a sailing emergency involving a jammed jib furler in 30-knot gusts and the critical lessons learned about life jacket safety and reefing early.Coastal Gems: Tips for cruising Narragansett Bay, Newport, and the Fisher Island Sound, plus the advantages of using apps like Dockwa, PredictWind, and Navionics.Whether you are dreaming of the ICW, planning a trip to Maine, or curious about AIS integration and radar on sailboats, Ray's story offers a balanced look at risk, reward, and the spiritual nature of being on the water.If you enjoyed this episode, please hit the Like button and Subscribe for more sailing stories.Email us: sailingtheeast@gmail.comWatch on YouTube: Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of USAEnjoyed the episode?

Damo and Aaron are joined by retired YNCS Coby Turner and Lieutenant Commander Kris Hodge for a conversation about Navy leadership, career development, family, identity, and life beyond the uniform. Kris shares her journey from enlisted Sailor to Navy officer and discusses mentorship, race, gender, raising four children, and pursuing professional goals without allowing the military to become her entire identity. Aaron opens up about his decision to reenlist, while Coby reflects on retirement and finding purpose after active-duty service. The conversation also explores the realities of geo-bachelor life and the sacrifices military families make when career opportunities require separation. Damo, Kris, and Coby share their experiences and question whether the Navy should provide more support for Sailors navigating geo-baching. The episode closes with a leadership discussion about demanding excellence, avoiding career comparisons, sharing knowledge, and why gatekeeping creates weaker teams and burned-out Sailors. Damo also recommends Questlove's Hip Hop Is History during Pick of the Week.     Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

Hey Film fans, movie reviews #63 is here in the can.Six films today and it's nice and tight-ish.
1 (Thief in the Night 1972)- Old school Christian Apocalypse film. Just like the late 90's poop like Left Behind, Megiddo, and that one with Gary Busey, but with longer hair and sideburns. Patty has nothing but people talking to her about specifically saying that she accepts JC into her heart, she's like”huh” and gets left behind then post rapture she runs……..a lot!
2 (Juggernaut 1974)e My two pod buddy's and the rest of the world were beating off about towering inferno, and Poseidon adventure, but they are not my bag, I will say I liked this one better than those and so far I think it's disaster film #1 next to the one with Shaft as a daredevil, the one with Sparks in it, and the 1 were Helen Hayes rules the disaster film wasteland. Omar Sharif and Richard Harris are BOTH in here, wow, can we take all that Shakespearan pomp! Ok Now add a little Ian Holm, and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Directed by Richard Lester of Hard days night and the Ritz fame.
3 (Who?) Let's not get me started on this one. Let's just say that for this sci fi nerd that WHO? Looks way cooler than it is. I also feel Elliot Gould is half asleep through the entirety of this poop. It does exist and I'm intrigued that it exists and got released so of course I own the blu-ray, with commentary!
4 (The Sailor who fell from Grace with the Sea 1976)
V did the amazing write up on this one so I forget the origin but will guess that it is based on a Russian parable about supply and demand, he he not at all. This is about weird one about weird people and one truly nasty fascist sociopath. Director Lewis John Carlino wrote and directed some really rad stuff,,,,,,,,,,Not this! Let's see what you think after you watch it.
5 (Madame Rosa 1977) Omg this is what it's all about folks. Finding something like this. Recommend this story of Holocaust survivor who is a Madame, I guess it's a see for yourself kinda thing, also I feel it yielded a good discussion. This won best Foreign film for 1977, so yes there will be subtitles if ya don't know French.
Final film today is 6 (Headin for Broadway 1979) Director here is Joseph Brooks and we reviewed his directing before in You Light up my Life (that movie where they over play the song You Light up my Life) but mostly he is listed a musical advisor and conductor on many movies, and that just makes sense. This is light and fun and should go on your shelf right next to Fame and A Chorus Line.
See ya next time fam, and thanks for reading and Listening!

On September 29, 2016, the U.S. Navy eliminated every enlisted rating title — Boatswain's Mate, Machinist's Mate, Hospital Corpsman, all of it — replacing two hundred and forty-one years of trade identity with rank alone. Eighty-three days later, after a hundred-thousand-signature petition, a fourteen-hundred-sailor town hall at Naval Station Norfolk, and a public feud between chief petty officers in the Navy's own professional journal, Admiral John Richardson reversed it completely. Dale traces the rating system from the 1794 Naval Act through the 1885 chevron badge and the 1893 creation of Chief Petty Officer, to the fastest full policy reversal in modern Navy history — and why the Navy still trusts a name over a number

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. El Toro Sailing. My US Navy pediatric nurse off-duty days were spent sailing a tiny boat in the shipping channel off the Port of Norfolk. Believe it or not I sailed an 8x4 foot single-masted, centerboard El Toro that flew across the water. An old skipper powered a battered motor boat across the waves, curling around my boat with a great rooster tail spraying, and hurled a white styrofoam block wrapped with an old rope. It landed right in my lap. The block had been hollowed out to fit 2 cold cans of beer. That was a good day! Bad days. But when the days weren't so good, when I had more downs than ups, kids got worse, some died, moms needed comforting and support when dads were away at sea, self-doubts about working pediatrics crowded my thoughts, or a well-deserved leave was cancelled, I had to learn to “hold fast.” Hold Fast at Sea. For centuries sailing was a dangerous profession, and ships were often caught in storms or rough seas. “Hold fast!” commanded sailors to secure equipment, and ropes or lines to prevent accidents or maintain safety and stability on ships especially during turbulent weather conditions. Sailors would shout “hold fast!” to each other when they needed to grab onto something firmly so that they wouldn't get thrown off balance by the towering waves. Sailors learned quickly that “hold fast” means to maintain a firm grip on something despite external forces trying to pull it away. It could come down to saving a life or “man overboard” at a time when few boys and men knew how to swim. Hold Fast Today. Over time, “hold fast” came to mean strength, perseverance and determination in facing adversity when challenges threatened to unmoor your own stability. While the old nautical term and the present day variation have distinct meanings, they share a common thread: steadfastness. Whether you're holding onto a rope during rough seas or standing up for what you believe in, “hold fast” requires unwavering commitment and resilience. The Future Will Prevail. The unprecedented conditions we find ourselves in today demand a grounded personal presence of internal strength and determination, maintaining one's grip on values, kindness, empathy, and holding on to hope. The worn out, deteriorated, broken-down, and decaying patriarchy is railing against the future. The future will prevail. We must hold fast so that it arrives. Hold fast with all the resilience you can muster even when you feel you cannot hold fast a moment longer. That is the place the tide will turn. CTA: What if we hold fast and we get things right? Check out World Economic Forum's Sustainable Development Vision for 2030 to give yourself a bit more hope: Thank you for listening. I'm glad you're here.

In this episode of Permission To Speak Freely, Damo and Aaron are joined by ITC Raven Douglass and HMC Josh Mackey for a wide-ranging conversation about Chief Season, leadership, Navy culture, and the policies shaping today's Sailors. The crew starts with Chief initiation and debates whether the process has become too dependent on location, personalities, and individual Messes, or whether a more standardized approach would create a better experience for Chief Selects. From there, they get into package reviews, selection-board feedback, physical readiness expectations, and what Sailors are actually supposed to do with the advice they receive after not being selected. The conversation expands into military social media and the responsibility that comes with having a platform, including where the line should be drawn when Sailors create content in uniform or while at work. The group also discusses accountability, leadership after mistakes, barracks conditions, uniform standards, and some of the everyday issues that continue to frustrate Sailors across the fleet. Later, things get heated when the conversation turns to how the Navy handled COVID, vaccine mandates and separations, and whether lessons from those decisions have anything in common with the Navy's current approach to beards. Damo and Aaron strongly disagree, Raven weighs in, and Doc brings another perspective to a debate that becomes one of the episode's most spirited exchanges. Somewhere along the way, the crew also manages to argue about AI-generated content, influencers, back pockets on khakis, engineers stuffing everything imaginable into their uniforms, and whether people can still recognize what's real on the internet. Four voices. Plenty of disagreement. No shortage of jokes. And nearly three hours of Permission To Speak Freely.   Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

It really is The Wizard of Oz: escape from the perceived smallness of circumstance out into the technicolor wonder of youth. Sailor is Lula's Oz, and she his. Oz is an energy, a belief in beauty. But life is a process of gradually seeing the world is only flats, and behind them, strung-out stagehands are trading drugs for blowjobs and and angling for overtime to make rent and dreaming of a dreamless night in the arms of a cold sixer. There are no flying monkeys: there are only hyenas. There is no Tin Man—only heartless men with axes, and shambling Scarecrows driven mad by the world, and vicious cowards, and when you see all that, the poppy field starts to look pretty good, and the Emerald City starts to feel a long way away…Patreon.com/QuillAndFilmmeasuringflickspodcast@gmail.com

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America — yes, really — musing that maybe he'll rename the Atlantic and Pacific next, while Canadian PM Mark Carney responded that "Ontario" is a 400-year-old Wendat word meaning "the lake is beautiful, the lake is big," which is a more dignified response than the moment deserved. Back to actual issues, Iran has been running an AI-powered disinformation operation on Instagram and Facebook, posing as average Americans to spread political misinformation about immigration and the Israel-Palestine war, with Meta taking down 35 accounts — which is a lot of effort from a country we're supposedly defeating militarily. The military situation is genuinely alarming across every front: a sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln in what his wife describes as a suicide attempt — after his paternity leave requests were repeatedly denied while his wife gave birth — is now facing disciplinary action for "malingering" and AWOL charges for being medically evacuated. Pete Hegseth fired the Army's top general days after the general was advised to drop an investigation into how Kid Rock got a military helicopter fly by so he could wave at it on social media. Oh but there's more, Jennifer Hegseth, Pete's wife and former Fox News producer, has been attending classified intelligence meetings with foreign officials with no confirmed security clearance — she was in the Houthi PC small group chat. Five service members told MSNBC they're being asked to violate international law by targeting civilian infrastructure, and applications to leave as conscientious objectors have surged since the Iran war started. The US is also "beyond critically low" on Patriot missile interceptors in Europe — because of the Iran war — right as the CIA director had to fly to Moscow in person to tell Russia not to attack NATO. A Navy engineer's rape lawsuit against the ship captain who allegedly entered her room with a master access key was dismissed by a judge who said it should be treated as a workplace compensation claim. To add to the overall craziness, ICE arrested 49,000 people in July alone, with less than 4% having any prior violent conviction. And finally, Fauci's prosecution is apparently going nowhere, which is the best news of the day.

W. Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell: American Prisoners of the Civil War, Part One: The narrative begins with the January 1863 capture of the Union gunboat Isaac Smith and three Black sailors. The Confederacy's refusal to exchange these Black captives, coupled with the Lincoln administration's retaliation, triggered the collapse of the systematic prisoner exchange system under the 1862 Dix-Hill Cartel. Consequently, both sides had to manage massive, long-term prison populations. The book examines the key military figures overseeing these networks: the Confederate martinet John Winder, who turned Richmond's tobacco warehouses like Libby Prison into harsh detention hubs, and the Union's budget-conscious bureaucrat William Hoffman. Finally, Brundage explains the Lieber Code's role in defining humane warfare, noting how its "military necessity" clause compromised prisoner treatment. (1)

The San Diego-based naval carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed to the Middle East to support Iran war operations for nearly nine months. The ship has not stopped at port since December 2025, setting a record for the most consecutive days at sea without a port call. Sailors aboard the Lincoln and their families are now sounding the alarm, reporting food shortages, sanitation issues and deteriorating mental health among personnel. One crew member was rescued after going overboard. We look at what the Lincoln's historic deployment reveals about the demands of the war in Iran — and the military's ability to protect service members. Learn more about your ad choices.

Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have reportedly attempted to jump overboard amid severe mental stress, food shortages, and inadequate basic supplies after more than 250 consecutive days at sea. In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight allegations from sailors and their families about deteriorating conditions across multiple Navy and Marine Corps ships, including shortages of fresh food, toiletries, laundry facilities, and other necessities.  The two also contrast those conditions with Pentagon spending, including millions of dollars on lobster, ribeye steaks, king crab, and other expenses under the military's "use it or lose it" budgeting practice. The commentary argues that the disparity reflects serious leadership and resource-allocation problems within the U.S. military, particularly as service members endure unusually long deployments. Plus segments on Bibi Netanyahu revealing that Israel's war is with Christianity and the West, TPUSA Pastor Rob McCoy caught lying about the rooftop shooter and recent reports of San Francisco cops' outrageous salaries. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! Plus a phone call from James Carville!

Today's Headlines: Todd Blanche went on Meet the Press and admitted he cannot pledge DOJ independence from the White House, and that the DOJ may ask the Supreme Court to intervene in 22 cases where judges blocked Trump's election interference efforts — specifically the administration's attempt to get voter rolls including names, addresses, and partial social security numbers from 30 states and DC. Trump also asked the Supreme Court to let him finish the $900 million White House renovation after courts ordered construction to stop by August 21st, now openly calling it a "national security structure" and "military complex" rather than a ballroom, posting an AI-generated video of himself consulting AI George Washington about the design, and accusing the people who sued him of treason for "revealing top military secrets" — about a ballroom. He also wants to redesign the entire Navy aircraft carrier fleet to look like World War 2 ships at $22 billion each. Meanwhile, families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln spoke to the Guardian describing relatives who lost 20-30 pounds, no clean drinking water, sparse food, and a five-week wait to see the ship's only psychiatrist — and when Trump was asked if the sailors had been deployed too long, he said they hadn't been deployed long enough. A detail the administration has not been eager to divulge is that Iran destroyed the Bahrain port where US Navy ships would normally dock, so every American warship in the region has nowhere to resupply. Trump also reduced joint military exercises with South Korea to please Kim Jong Un, posting a throwback photo of the two of them and noting they have "many where we're smiling" — sure, Donald. Jared Kushner met with Hamas in Egypt where they reaffirmed their commitment to disarming, which Netanyahu doesn't believe. In other news, Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges and his lawyers are using the plea to argue double jeopardy on state charges, while his New York murder trial still starts next month. And finally,  Lake Mead and Lake Powell — the two largest reservoirs supplying water to seven western states — hit their lowest levels in seven decades, because July was the hottest month on record and winter was the driest.

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln have deteriorated to the point that servicemembers are attempting to jump overboard. Food is rotting, hygiene supplies are depleted and morale is very low. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, on CNN, makes a plea to Secretary of War Pete Hegeseth to do his job and fix this horrible situation on the USS Lincoln. Hegseth denies the reporting on the conditions and thinks he can placate servicemembers by spewing effusive nonsense. Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation and host of The Time of Monsters Podcast, joins the program to recap the week's news. Topics include Tuesday's primaries, the media's Hasan Piker obsession, inflation, midterm elections and more. In the Fun Half: Shane Gillis teaches Joe Rogan about Donald Trump's Truth Social early access scam where people can pay $100k to see his posts early and then use the info to bet on the markets. Shane Gillis then teaches Joe Rogan about Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal and Gillis advocates for a second version, but Rogan says that if someone tried then "they" would kill that person. Rogan brags about the UFC White House event and Gillis expresses regret over attending the fights. Wisconsin Democratic candidate for Governor in Wisconsin, David Crowley, gives a wishy-washy answer on the massive unpopularity of data centers in the state.  Ken Paxton tries to blame his lazy campaign for Senate in Texas on the fact his runoff with John Cornyn drained his coffers. A "centrist" in Colorado is running as an independent against Melat Kiros but is easily exposed by crackerjack local journalist Kyle Clark as being a conservative Zionist. Trump denies the reports of the conditions on the USS Lincoln and says that the carrier has not been deployed long enough. all that and more.

Today's Headlines: The USS Abraham Lincoln is being replaced by the USS George Washington after reporting that sailors who had been at sea for over 250 days without disembarking attempted to take their own lives — Hegseth insists the conditions are being "completely misrepresented," Democrats in Congress are demanding answers, and the Pentagon quietly swapping out the carrier while denying there's a problem is its own kind of answer. Meanwhile, US intelligence officials were actually fairly skeptical about the credibility of the Iran assassination threat that sent Trump fleeing Air Force One in a catering truck, and it was relayed to the CIA by the Israeli government — with some suggesting it was designed to pressure Trump into restarting the war. In Trump drama news, The Kennedy Center's board voted to defy a federal court order and restore Trump's name to the facade — now reading "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump" — before closing for two years of renovations, because nothing says respect for the arts like slapping your name on a building and then shutting it down. A federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit against Harvard over alleged antisemitism on campus, calling the cases "too isolated and episodic" to prove a civil rights violation, and the DOJ is already assessing next steps. And finally, Luigi Mangione is expected to appear in federal court today to potentially plead guilty to federal charges, while his state murder trial is still set for September 8th — and if he pleads guilty federally, his attorneys could argue double jeopardy to get the state charges dismissed.

A disturbing report is coming from the USS Abraham Lincoln, now in its 9 month of deployment in the Middle East. Family members are demanding answers and action from the U.S. military after hearing from their loved ones that either they have attempted to jump overboard or have stopped other service members from doing so in recent weeks. There are reports of deteriorating conditions, from lack of food and hygiene supplies, to no hot water aboard the aircraft carrier, but this biggest issue is the delayed and open ended deployment that was supposed to end back in May. The Navy has denied there is an increase in reported suicidal ideation and that while supply hubs have been disrupted by combat, sailors aboard the ship have plenty of supplies and mental health support.
