The gOOhay
The gOOhay is about mobilizing the USNA alumni network to share actionable, timely and valuable information, without pretense or politics. The podcast is a forum for Shipmates to help Shipmates without expectations except to make a new connection, learn something new or connect to a new opportunity. My objective is to create a regenerative cycle of assistance, insight, and engagement among USNA alumni for "whenever two or three shall meet . . . "
