Sing Second Podcast [Oct 13, '26] featuring former USS Cole Commanding Officer, Kirk Lippold ‘81

Mid-October is here in Annapolis. The Power Boat Show came and went…and so did 4 inches of weekend rain. But, hey, before the heavens opened up, Navy Football got a big win vs Tulsa. John and Chris break down the win and preview the awesome tailgates and alumni roadshows that are coming your way in San Antonio this coming weekend. The boys chat about the upcoming Homecoming weekend festivities and some other Star matches we have on the horizon. And our Alumni interview this week is special. October 12th marked the 26th anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole (DDG 67). Kirk Lippold ‘81 was the CO on that fateful day. Kirk joins us to remember the 17 sailors who died that day, his lessons learned and the leadership choices he made in the immediate aftermath that kept the ship from going down. AN amazing conversation on a solemn day. That and more on the best Alumni Association podcast in the land. Beat Army. Always.
