The Sea Stories Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to the latest episode of the Sea Stories Podcast! Join the crew as they share wild and hilarious Navy stories over a round of beers. Each episode, we pick a beer theme, swap sea stories, and wrap up with a quick beer review.

In this episode, we dive into some of the most outrageous Navy-related content found on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). From legendary shipboard antics to unbelievable internet debates, we break down the best (and worst) the online world has to offer—all while reminiscing about our own salty experiences.

Grab a cold one and settle in for laughs, memories, and a little beer talk. Cheers!

Welcome to the Sea Stories Podcast. In this episode 60 we give a shout out to the USS Paul Hamilton (DDG-60). Then we interview Fire Controlman Chief (retired) DJ Chavez about his Naval service. He gives us the scoop on his ridiculous deployment mustache and what is was like on the 200+ days at see during, what was dubbed as, the corona cruise.

The last of the Average G.I. Joe crew to tell his story, we talk to Josh. Listen as one of our favorite people we had to pleasure to serve with tell us about his time in the Navy and experience all that is Cole.

In the Navy, cruise books are a collection of photos from a deployment, bound together into a yearbook style book. In this series we ask Veterans to share photos of moments that encompass special moments in their careers. If you are a Veteran and want to share some photos with us, feel free to reach out.

Check out our YouTube page to see the full version of the photos. Watch our series "Seamen on Film" to hear former U.S. Navy Sailors break down films and answer the question, "Is this a deployment worthy film?"

Happy Memorial Day from everyone here at the Average G.I. Joe Podcast. After months on "dishing" on the Navy Food, we have a former Culinary Specialist onboard to defend and "dish" it right back.

As always the crew can't tell Sea Stories without something to quench their thirst. In honor of our special guest this month brews features ingrediants you would normally find in your meals. Listen to Zeke's Sea Stories and standby for some beer reviews. At ease.

In todays episode we speak with USMC Veteran Tommy M. Tommy tells us about his experiences in the Marines and gives us the scoop on what life is like for a Marine living aboard a U.S. Warship.

Sea Stories are generally tall tales told amongst Sailors, usually with drinks in hand. We recorded this episode on MLB opening day, and to celebrate we told our own sea stories while drinking our favorite ballpark brews.
