Dr. Stephen Phillips interviews CDR David Bruhn, USN-Ret,to discuss his book, "On the Gunline: U.S. Navy and Royal Austrailian Navy Warships off Vietnam, 1965-1973." Bruhn relays how navy surface ships interdicted North Vietnamese logistics and supported U.S. Marines and soldiers ashore with gunfire support. Topics include the major operations such as Operation Market Time and Sea Dragon, the actions of participating ships like USS St Paul, USS New Jersey, USS Carronade, and USS Epperson, and details of North Vietnamese helicopter attacks on Navy patrol craft. CDR David Bruhn's website: http://davidbruhn.com/CDR David Bruhn's email: commanderbruhn@gmail.com  

Retired Navy Command Master Chief Larry Wilkse joins The Republican Professor Podcast to talk about his 30 year Navy career, which took him from the Navy's wrestling team to OS A-School to Surface Warfare qualification on the way to BUDS to a host of commands and deployments after becoming Special Warfare Sea Air and Land (SEAL) qualified. He deployed 14 times, had a couple changes of ratings, including multiple combat deployments where he was awarded multiple Bronze Stars and many other Navy and Joint service citations. He ended his career with the rating of Command Master Chief, having been a Plank Owner and Command Master Chief of the then-new SEAL Team 7 (new at the time 20 years ago). Our discussion is wide-ranging, covering everything from combat to his view on teaching firearms to inner city youth and women to what he thinks about the so-called "assault weapon" ban for civilians to one of my favorites, the art and science of taking naps (Larry can time his naps exactly to the minute, ahead of time, and wake spontaneously) (lots of suffering in order to get to that point). He has also run for office, getting 43% of the vote in a +29 D district in California. Dude. Larry is a fascinating individual and an absolute delight to shoot the bull with. He's a man's man with a heart of gold. He clearly wants to leave the world a better place than how he found it and is willing to sacrifice to see that happen. Master Chief Wilkse (who would rather be called just "Larry") spent 30 years in the United States Naval Service, rising to the top of the enlisted ranks as well as to the apex of the operational capacities of the naval service, but Larry is still serving America. Now he does so in a private capacity as president of Vanguard Training and Consulting, a firearms training group that brings quality small arms and situational awareness training to civilians, especially women, with appropriate sensitivity and effectiveness. Check out https://femalefirearmsinstructor.com/about/ for more information. Happy birthday, United States Navy. The Republican Professor is a pro-Navy, pro-serving-America, pro-getting-the-bad-guys, pro-let-me-tell-you-what-I-really-think-about-the-"assault-weapon"-ban, pro-man's-man, pro-female-firearm-instructor, pro-let's-reach-the-inner-city-youth, pro-art-and-science-of-taking-naps podcast. Therefore, welcome Command Master Chief Larry Wilkse (SEAL, SW, AW), USN (ret.), 30 year combat veteran and now president of Vanguard Training and Consulting (bringing situational awareness and firearms instruction to women across the country) or in other words, welcome Larry. The Republican Professor is produced and by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. Happy birthday, United States Navy. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend. Consider subscribing.

Welcome to the Sing Second Sports Podcast--a weekly pod for Navy fans by Navy fans. On this episode we are joined by Bill Wagner of the Annapolis Capital, special guests—-mens basketball coach Ed DeChellis, men's lacrosse standout MIDN 1/C Tyler Perreten and Men's Basketball phenom Mike Heary '98. Share feedback on Twitter @wesingsecond...slide DMs or tweet at us directly. BEAT ARMY! Guest Bios: Coach Ed DeChellis Ed DeChellis just completed his ninth season as the head coach of the Mids, his 24th year as a head coach and his 38th season as a collegiate coach. DeChellis has guided Navy to 94 victories over the last six seasons, including 54 wins in league regular season games. This is after the program had totaled 79 overall wins over the previous seven seasons and 43 victories against league foes in the previous nine years. Tyler Perreten Tyler Perreten just completed his junior year at the Naval Academy and is a member of the Lacrosse team. Tyler is from Crofton, Md., and graduated from the Severn School in 2016. He attended the Naval Academy Prep School and arrived in Annapolis in 2017. As a freshman, he made his first career appearance in the Mids’ 15-5 win over Lafayette where he dealt out his first collegiate assist and grabbed a ground ball. In his sophomore season, he saw action in 4 games and scored his first collegiate goal in the Mids’ win over Bucknell in the league opener. Perreten burst on the scene in the abbreviated 2020 season. He tallied two goals and an assist in a win over Furman. He notched a hat trick against Lehigh, and exploded for 5 goals and two assists in a big win vs Colgate before the season was cancelled due to the coronavirus. He is majoring in Quantitative Economics. Mike Heary Mike Heary is a 1998 graduate of the Naval Academy and was a four-year starter for Coach Don Devoe's basketball program. The Fredonia, NY, native was given a piece of paper as a teenager with a quotation written on it by his sister, Michele. It read: "When you do it better, you get to be the leader." Heary learned the game from his late father, Tom, who had played at Canisius College. At school, in the driveway at home or in mother Rita's kitchen, Heary always seemed to have a basketball in his hands. His high school career was quite decorated, and he was inducted into the Chautauqua County Hall of Fame in 2009. He scored a county record 62 points in a game and was a heralded sharp-shooter from the northern NY area. He was recruited by several high-profile Division I programs, but settled on Navy. Mike finished his four-year career with a scoring average of 14.1 points. He led the Mids to the NCAA tournament in 1997 and 1998, the last year the program reached the tournament. Heary is the 6th all-time leading scorer in Navy history and is known as one of the greats of the program. Mike service selected Surface Warfare upon graduation and served two tours in the fleet before returning to his alma mater in the early 2000s on the NAAA staff in Ricketts Hall. Heary left the Navy in 2005, and he is now the Director of Sales and Marketing for CDS Logistics in Baltimore, MD. Mike remains involved in the Navy basketball program having just completed his 10th season as the color commentator for Navy basketball games on WNAV radio. ***Credit and disclaimer: “Play-by-play calls from the Navy Radio Network are used in the opening of the show and from time to time will be part of podcast segments.

Today's Midrats Best of first aired on August 2016.We live in a crowded world with limited resources. What happens when this meets modern technology's ability to shorten the time/distance equation and increase the ability to know of what lies below the waves?What complications do we fine when the above two points meet up with the eternal search by growing nations to reach for the seas to support their homeland's growing needs? As populations demand more protein in their diets as per capita incomes rise, many nations see the open seas as the best place to fill that demand. With more competing for shrinking resources, can fishing be seen as a security threat? How does it impact coastal states' economic, food, and environmental security? What are the roles of transnational organized crime and state power in this competition. Is international law being strengthened to meet this challenge, or is the challenge undermining the rule of law? More than last century's quaint "Cod Wars," does this have the potential trigger to broader, more serious conflict?Our guest to discuss this and more will be Scott Cheney-Peters, LCDR, USNR.Scott serves as a civil servant at the State Department, and is the founder of the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC).Scott's active duty service at sea included the USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) and USS Oak Hill (LSD 41). His shore duty before leaving active service was in Washington, DC, where he served as the editor of Surface Warfare magazine. Scott graduated from Georgetown University with a B.A. in English and Government and holds an M.A. in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College. Scott researches issues affecting Asian maritime security and national security applications of emerging technology.

Welcome to Heels of Justice; these are the stories of women lawyers who are trailblazers in their field and paved the way for the rest of us.   Today, the Heels of Justice interview, Commander Temperance C. Huffstetler (“Claire”), is an attorney in the United States Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps. She currently serves as the Victims’ Legal Counsel for Naval District Washington. LCDR Huffstetler was commissioned as a naval officer in May 2002 and served as a Surface Warrior Officer in a variety of operational roles until 2007, when she entered law school through the Navy’s Law Education Program. After graduating from law school in 2010, she completed Naval Justice School in Newport, RI. In her first tour as a Judge Advocate, LCDR Huffstetler served at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where she practiced as a criminal defense litigator, legal assistance attorney, and military disability attorney. She was then assigned as Command Judge Advocate for Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. From 2014 to 2016, LCDR Huffstetler served as the Command Judge Advocate aboard three nuclear aircraft carriers, providing legal advice regarding military justice, operational law, fiscal law, international law, the law of the sea, and administrative law.   Key Takeaways [:35] Sarita welcomes Claire Huffstetler, to the Heels of Justice podcast. [1:38] Claire talks about who her services are meant for as well as what exactly being a JAG entails, day to day. [4:06] Where is military law situated in the spectrum of victim’s right as opposed to say, civilian law? And why would there be a difference? [7:46] How is the Victims’ Legal Counsel practice evolving in the courts? “Unfortunately, we’re still behind the bar!” [8:57] Sarita asks if there has been any evolution or changes in Claire’s work in the context of the ‘Me Too’ movement. [12:37] Claire gives some tangible practice pointers on how to best defend victims, for attorneys looking to do more in victims advocacy. [17:14] How does Claire deal with the very real emotional aspects of this line of work? [19:11] Vicarious trauma is real. [21:50] Sarita asks what Claire wanted to be as a child, and how her path eventually took her to the Military and military law. [24:55] Sarita opens a parenthesis and asks Claire to paint a picture of what life is like on a naval carrier! And what about being stationed in Guam? [27:55] The most interesting place to practice? Imagine a tie between an aircraft carrier and Guantanamo Bay … Let’s challenge the image we have of Guantanamo, you will be surprised! [33:04] Sarita asks what Claire’s biggest challenges as a woman and as a professional in the Navy? [39:36] Sarita asks what Claire’s mantra is and thanks her for sharing so much of her experience on the Heels of Justice podcast and she signs off until next time.

So we have community housing, churches, community centers, gyms, swimming pools, and restaurants! The base supports the ships that come for all around South America and the Caribbean, it’s an important foothold and anti-drug operation and a lot of migrants pass through. There is also a body of foreign national laborers to support the base, so I never had a day that I didn’t hear a new issue … Most of them were: how does this comport with international law? In most bases, there are memorandums of agreement with the host nation, and that controls the application of the law: what laws we subscribe to on the base, and how our service members are treated if they go out in town and do something wrong. But in Guantanamo Bay, there’s no host nation relationship, so it was a create-your-own-adventure-type situation!” “I was the GC on an aircraft carrier. Imagine that you are in a grey steel windowless box — kind of like a freight elevator car — and a few floors above your office there is an airport landing strip and fighter jets are taking off and landing. The force and the sound is reverberating through the walls, the floors, the ceiling, your body, rattling your coffee mug across your desk. Then imagine that you have a nuclear reactor a few floors under your office. In between the airport, your office and the nuclear reactor you have a hotel that houses 3 to 6 thousand people with a 24h restaurant, hospital, church, fitness center and all the office spaces to support that, and you’re floating…” More about our guest Claire Huffstetler on LinkedIn

Retired VADM Barry McCullough talks about the future of the Surface Navy as a preview to this year's SNA convention.

When is there ever too much of a good thing? Is our officer manning policy in the Surface Warfare Community resulting in too many JOs chasing too few hours of experience actually performing one of their most important professional duties, the safe and effective maneuver of a ship at sea?Do we have our numbers, policies, and priorities right to ensure we are giving out Surface Warfare Officers the opportunity to master the fundamentals of any respected leader at sea?Building off his article in the March 2017 Proceedings, Too Many SWOs per Ship, our guest for the full hour will be Lieutenant Brendan Cordial, USN.We will not only discuss the issues he raises in his article, but will cover the experiences, responsibilities, and future of our surface forces from the Fleet LT perspective.LT Cordial is a native of Beaufort, South Carolina.  He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2011 and commissioned through the NROTC Program.  During his division officer tours, he served in USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and USS San Jacinto (CG 56), both home-ported in Norfolk, VA.   He is currently assigned to the NROTC unit at The George Washington University."

The thankfully bloodless embarrassment that was the Farsi Island Incident is still making news after the January 12, 2016 seizure of 10 U.S. sailors by Iranian forces. Especially for our Surface Warfare community, there are a lot of hard, cold lessons here not just about the incident itself, leadership and professionalism – and institutional lessons about how conditions are set and organizations are sub-optimized to a degree that an incident  - in hindsight – was just a matter of “when” vice “if.”Using his recent article at CIMSEC on the topic, our guest for the full hour to discuss the background leading up to the Farsi Island incident, its aftermath, and the lessons we should be taking from it will be Alan Cummings, LT USN.Alan is a 2007 graduate of Jacksonville University.

Policy is never set - it is never agreed. As the global maritime security situation changes, so must the ideas and plans of nations. In the best Western tradition, it is generally accepted that more ideas, and more discussion is better in working towards the best solution to any challenge - especially national security challenges. One of the newer additions to the discussion are the writers at the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) Since they joined the conversation in force in 2012, what is their view of the state of vigorous debate in the maritime security arena? What do they see as the major issues no only on maintaining a healthy culture of "Creative Friction Without Conflict" - and what do they see as the major subjects that naval thinkers need to concentrate on? Our guest for the full hour will be Lieutenant Scott Cheney-Peters, USNR.  Scott is a Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy Reserve and government civilian on the OPNAV staff at the Pentagon. Scott is the former editor of Surface Warfare magazine and served aboard USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) and USS Oak Hill (LSD-51). In 2012 Scott founded the CIMSEC, a non-profit think tank/website/group focused on maritime security issues. Scott is a graduate of Georgetown University and the U.S. Naval War College.
