Retired Master Chief, Will Foster, host of the ‘Don’t Give Up The Ship’ podcast comes back to PTSF to chop it up with Tisha and Damo. First, have you seen that video about hitting our recruiting goals floating around on social media? Did we hit our recruiting goals? Is everyone in the navy wearing the wrong color socks? Damo starts his journey of weight gain, weight loss, and personal growth from early childhood to his most recent experiences at his current command. Will shares his story of how compounding responsibility and the need to work led to some compounded health complications in his life. He talks about his experience with cancer and mental health. Tisha discusses her transition from Sailor to Civilian and the impact it has had on her mental health. DGUTS discusses some of the cultural separation between Chiefs and junior Sailors and the need to build trust through vulnerability and transparency.
