On this episode of the DefAero Report Daily Podcast, sponsored by Bell, our guests are Michael Bayer, Chairman of the Defense Business Board (DBB) and Cmdr. Guy “Bus” Snodgrass, USN (retired), a Top Gun graduate and instructor and author of the new book Holding the Line: Inside Trump’s Pentagon with Secretary Mattis.
In Segment One Bayer discusses the DBB review of the Pentagon’s Chief Management Officer role, recommendation that DoD scrap the position and suggestions for future transformation initiatives. In our conversation with Snodgrass we celebrate May 13th as “Top Gun Day” looking back at the movie’s release and impact, the significance of Navy’s Fighter Weapon School and look ahead to Top Gun: Maverick, due out later this year.
