Dr. Chase Spears welcomes Navy Commander Theresa Carpenter—30-year public affairs veteran, Stories of Service podcast host, and advocate for military justice reform. Ten days post-retirement, she shares her journey from aviation electrician to PAO, disillusionment with leadership’s “say-do gap,” the Brett Crozier case, Bowe Bergdahl narrative control, and why she spoke out despite backlash. They explore ethical tensions in military communication, DEI’s impact on cohesion, and advice for active-duty PAOs afraid to speak.00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:38 - Theresa’s Navy Career00:04:57 - Brett Crozier Case00:07:44 - Bowe Bergdahl Narrative00:11:23 - Pentagon Press Pool00:13:22 - Becoming a PAO00:17:18 - Rumsfeld Armor Moment00:19:59 - Bergdahl Viral Piece00:23:15 - Betrayal & Trust00:29:54 - Meeting on Social Media00:36:46 - Life on Ships00:44:49 - Retirement Reflections00:56:54 - Advice to PAOsYou can follow Chase Spears on X @DrChaseSpears.
