One thing about the Overlords at Military.com: They've got juice -- especially in the Navy, where editor Ward Carrolll and Overlord-in-Chief Chris Michel both served as fliers. Drop their names, and admirals return e-mails, quick.
So it's no surprise, really, that Ward was able to snag for his podcast this week Admiral Mike Mullen, Chief of Naval Operations. Click here to listen to the CNO talk about his vision for a "thousand-ship Navy," the need to "outpace strategic competitors," and the "shift of our forces to the Pacific." Recent guests have included Joe Galloway, Nate Fick, James Barber, and, uh, me.
