About this listen
Last time, on Fire Watch, we took you inside Navy Boot camp. I was accompanied by Military.com reporter and Navy veteran Konstantin Toropin. And we came armed with a few questions: Is Navy boot camp different than veterans remember it? Is it still hard? And what do those changes say about the sailors joining the Navy today?
In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at those changes – ones that have fueled generational dissent among Navy veterans who see new recruits as being coddled. But isn’t there a better way to assess what the Navy and its new sailors are doing?
In this episode: Chief Petty Officer David Bevels, Rear Admiral Carl A. Lahti, Capt. Kenneth Froberg, Command Master Chief Van-Troi SibiliaMartinez, Konstantin Toropin, RDC, Commander Christopher McHenry, Recruits, David Rogers, Recruit, Video, Drew F. Lawrence, Announcement, ABC News
