"Icebergs" (Feat. Alana Abernethy)

Entrepreneur/Author/Writer Alana M. Abernethy joins the show again. This makes her our first official “Repeat Guest,” which is another first for Alana! She discusses her life now from where she was the last time we spoke. She talks about her reason for traveling and the joy of being able to travel with zero restrictions. She reflects on an incident with negative criticism due to the title of her recently release book, “Black Veteran Entrepreneur,” in which she co-wrote with Mike Steadman. She also talks about the “most important” message that she believes this book conveys. “Muting your femininity” gets a deep dive from Tisha and Alana. Alana reflects on being falsely accused of having a sexual relationship with a junior Enlisted Sailor (by that Sailor). Alana breaks down her Valentine’s Day plans for this year. What is Imposter Syndrome? How’s life with two mother figures? What does treating women unfairly look like? Damo asks Alana about a particular time in which she was accused of giving an African American women a position in her department “just because she was a black woman.”  How should Tish have taken that “The People’s Champ” comment? She’s on her own with the “Mafia” talk, huh? A discussion on culture and the importance of establishing connections with people whom you might not naturally gravitate towards. How does it feel to be asked to be the spokesperson for all African Americans? These topics and more are covered in this episode.

Real hip hop. This is the long-awaited "Save Yourself." mixtape. Enjoy. 

Dead End (Produced by JD Arms)

Young Sailors, listen up: working out is different as you age. Tisha’s sons are in town and making sure she’s straight. The fellas put her on game. Some Airbnb hosts are being creepy and recording their tenants in some of the most private areas of the residence. Damon details his experience checking into TPU Bangor, Washington. Damo has a question about the Navy’s parental leave policy. There was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a recent campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This leads to a conversation about servicemembers affiliating with political parties. Damon reads NAVADMIN 139/24 and highlights the 2023 Fleet award winners. Tisha stumbles across a photo and it sparks a bit of a debate. Is there really another update on the Chief who was selling secrets to China? Damo calls himself to the carpet about his WNBA Rookie of the Year take from the last episode. Damon has an update about Private Travis King. One-third of the Military is expected to be robotic by 2039. Damo’s been impressed by Chat GPT.
