We had to pull up on y’all this Christmas, but please don’t call this a Christmas special. Damo finds himself in yet another sticky situation, this time it’s with Aaron. Before the results came out, the quotas were released, leaving many Sailors pissed about the low numbers. The guys discuss the disgust and what Billet-Based Advancement has to do with all of this. The Navy recently announced “The Trump Class,” complete with rail guns and laser beams. President Trump was feeling generous this holiday season and gave us two days off and “warrior dividends.” Oh yeah, what the hell are the Patriot Games? Why are people up in arms about the new PFA policy? Be careful what boots you’re stepping in, come Jan 1st, you may be out of regs. Jake Paul took a beating, and Sailors may be fixing their own trouble calls in the barracks soon. The guys try to take a deep dive into the new Sailor of the Year grading sheet. What are your “isms?” Debra Newton was arrested last week, or was her name Sharon? One Navy Sailor was arrested for killing his two roommates, who were also Sailors, in Jacksonville, FL. In our ‘Do Better’ segment, Damo wants some leaders to find some motivation, while Damon wants people to “train and explain.” The guys wrap with entertainment picks of the year. These and more topics are covered in this episode.
