This week we welcome current CO and former OPS, CDR Brendan Hilleary and former OPS and XO, CDR Andrew Behnke. They share with us stories from throughout their careers as well as insights on what it is like taking Aviation OPS calls and being a wardrooms chief pilot. We dive into their perspectives, philosophies and most importantly, how much sleep they get!
We plan to release shows on a bi-weekly basis. On Fridays of course!
Hosts: LCDR Nate Shakespeare, LCDR Sam Hafensteiner
