Episode 3: Accountability and Transparency Review (ATR) Report

“It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Josiah Stamp

Episode three is a deep dive into the ATR report that came out earlier this week. There are more questions than answers at this point with my main concern being the lack of real accountability for the people behind the Fouled Anchor report and its subsequent cover up.

In personal news, I am working directly with the ATR team. They are a dedicated team of professionals and are interested in using my story for Coast Guard wide training. I am humbled and a little blown away by all the attention this is getting. The fact that I started this podcast earlier this year just before the Fouled Anchor report was released and how it has all intertwined is beyond me. Life is truly incredible.

Also, one of the first action items on the ATR agenda is to host an executive summary in Washington, D.C. this coming February with Admirals, Gold Badge Master Chiefs, and SESs. The ATR team wants me to speak at this summit so the attendees get a full account from a survivor. I am honored to be invited to such a high profile event and won’t squander this opportunity to gain some insight on where we are headed as a service.

Thanks for listening, and take care of yourselves.
