Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Sunstein Sessions on iHeartRadio, Conversations about issues that matter.
Here's your host, three time Gracie Award winner, Shelley Sunstein.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I am so incredibly jealous of the men I am
about to introduce you to Commander Tyree Barnes and Navy
Captain Jervi Aloda. I am so jealous of them, not
only because they are in the Navy, but because they
(00:32):
are speaking to us from Super Bowl fifty nine in
New Orleans. And this is like an official assignment yet,
so welcome. How did you get this assignment at super
Bowl fifty nine.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, I can tell you that this is a dream
come true.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The fact that you know, the Navy had this opportunity
for us to kind of tell our story is a
dream come because Tyrie and I are both football players.
We love the game, you know, the beautiful game of football.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
This is my first time in New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
So last night I had some crawfish and I had
some beignets, and let me tell you, they were legit
so super excited to be here, super excited to be
on your show, and really really excited to tell our story.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Now, let me explain, these gentlemen are not just high
up in the Navy, they are footballers. Captain Gervi Aloda
is a proud graduate of the US Naval Academy, where
he was named team captain of the Navy football team
his senior year, and today he holds a variety of
(01:43):
staff assignments in the Navy, including Joint War Plans Officer
for the third Fleet, instructor for the c Combat Command,
and Commander Tyree Barnes. Graduated from the US Naval Academy,
he's currently executive Office of Navy Talent Acquisition Group red
River in Dallas, and he was actually signed as an
(02:06):
undrafted free agent by the New England Patriots in twenty eleven. So,
I mean, this is is this your first Super Bowl
experience the two of you?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
This is my first Super Bowl experience and it has
been amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Wow. All right, So first, first.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Of all, I know the reason you're there at Super
Bowl is your kind of diplomats for the Navy, which
is on, like the rest of our military, on a
huge recruitment drive.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So what is the Navy looking for in candidates? Well,
who's the kind of person that Okay, this is Captain
Jervi Aloda, correct, And.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I think this is like the audience.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
That we're looking for folks that are interested actually will
at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
We're looking for athletes. We're looking for people.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Who have drive, who have, you know, the ability to
practice in a train, who have a life of you know, sacrifice,
who know how to you know, compete at the highest levels.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So the folks with physical attributes highly sought after, but
we're also looking for cerebral folks who value STEM you know,
the science and technology, engineering, and medical fields, because the Navy,
believer or not, offers so many over seventy five to
eighty different STEM jobs throughout the Navy. When you think
(03:40):
of the Navy, it's not just shift, submarines, aircraft, it's
all the other people behind the scenes that are doing
unbelievable things. Whether it's in the engine rooms, whether it's
nuclear power, whether it's cyber, whether it's cryptology, or in
the medical fields. There's just so many opportunities that the
Navy presents that not a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Of people know about. So we're looking for it all.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
We're looking for the you know, the physical attributes, we're
also looking for cerebral attributes as well.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Amander Tyree Barnes, tell us your story. When when did
you first get hooked on football and how did you
know that you wanted to join the Navy.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Well, actually, for me, it was a it was a
perfect storm of the boat. My parents were actually enlisted
in the Navy. They met on a naval ship in
the Pacific Northwest somewhere. My father was from Miami, my
mother's from New York, and their lives came together based
off of joining the Navy being a part of something
bigger than themselves at that point. I grew up in
North of Virginia and I played football, so again for me,
(04:38):
just always wanted to be a part of that team aspect,
just always understanding the fact that I want to be
a leader in whatever I do in life. I want
to be the guy in charge. I want to make
sure that those lives that I have in my hand
are are getting the best product from a leader they
can get. And what better place and get that from
the Naval Academy. So I went on my Naval Academy
visit as a junior and high school and my parents
(05:01):
fell in love with it. Again, it was a perfect
blend of the leadership qualities that I needed to learn
from the Naval academy combined with playing football, the sport,
the ultimate sport, the ultimate team sport that.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Requires sacrifice, trust and respect.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
And then it just so happened to lead me to
this amazing career that I've had in the Navy, because
it all came full circle and it all came easy.
The Navy is exactly like football, and football is exactly
like the Navy. So what better way to join the two?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know? The Army, I just have a statistic. They
said that last month they smashed recruiting records, the biggest
numbers seen in the month of December in fifteen years.
They announced that the Army almost three hundred and fifty
people signed up a day. Did you find the same
(05:48):
thing happening with the Navy last month?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Absolutely so.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Again, I'm in charge of intag Red River, so we
run the Dallas Forward.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
In Oklahoma area. So we're just a subset of the
recruited nation.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
And I can tell you with full authority, since since
April last year, the Navy has gone above and beyond
the young people there. They're ready to desire, they're ready to join,
and ideally at the beginning of this year, we have.
We have been above our numbers. We continue to be
above our recruiting numbers. We continue to go out. We're
finding the quality felt the quality folks. More importantly, we're
touching and reaching into their Centerpfer's influence'. We're talking to
(06:27):
the counselors, we're talking to their parents. We're building that
propensity that wasn't there for a while. People are understanding
that we need we need good people, we need good leaders,
and we need good followers. And we're only going to
build our war fighting team even better over the future.
So yes, we are seeing an absolute increase in our
recruit numbers as well.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I've done a load of tell us your story. How
did you, you know, get involved in football and how
did you decide on a career in the Navy.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, so my story is a little bit different. But
just like Tyree, my dad was also in the New
tay Uh. He immigrated from the Philippines through the navy.
UH he elicted from Manilla, Philippines and he's joined as
a steward where he was serving food and shining the
naval officers and just through that struggle and you know,
(07:14):
the opportunities that America gave him. You know, it motivated me,
and it wanted me to do something you know, bigger
and better than myself. So that's why I just had
a propensity to serve through the Navy.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Fortunate for me, I had the ability to play a
little bit of.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Football, so I got recruited to play football at the
Naval Academy.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I served four years.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Uh, you know, after at school, after graduating after four years,
I really wanted to coach. I wanted to teach, and
so I was just gonna do my time five year
obligation and then get out so I could pursue my
ultimate goal, ultimate dream, which was to coach.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And teach and be a positive influence in young people's lives.
It just so happened.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
When I went to my first ship, I realized what
I was doing was I was teaching, and I was
coaching young sailors, you know, life decisions as a young
you know, twenty two year old naval officer. I was
having a positive impact in these young people's lives. And
then I went to my next job, you know, and
it was just at a grander scale, with more responsibility
(08:12):
and more people. And then so next thing, you know,
you know, twenty eight years later, I find.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Myself doing my dream job.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I'm coaching, I'm teaching, I'm mentoring, I'm inspiring all these
young sailors, and I wake up every day excited to
get after work because I am doing the things that
I've always wanted to do. You know, if you asked me,
you know, twenty eight years ago, if I'd still be
doing this, loving it, you know, feeling like, you know,
I just I'm the luckiest man alive, doing the best
job in the world, I would have said, yeah, you're crazy.
(08:40):
But you know the fact that I get this opportunity
to tell the story. You know the fact that I
still get to wear, you know, my nation's cloth and
fight for our democracy and freedoms.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's just a dream come true. And you know, if
you know, if I could.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Have just laid out my ideal career, I couldn't have
done it any better than what I've done.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'm speaking with Captain Jervi Aloda. Captain Jervy is also
joined by Commander Tyree Barnes of the Navy, and both
of them are joining us from Super Bowl fifty nine
in New Orleans. It is their first Super Bowl and
for both of you. Is it the first visit to
(09:24):
New Orleans. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So I can tell you. I can tell you so
played at the Naval Academy. We did plip.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Up a little bit, Yeah, superdome, but I didn't really
get a chance to go out and experience bourbon.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I didn't get a chance to consider this my very
first time.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
So what were your first impressions, Commander Barnes.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
It was beautiful. So well, my first impression was I
went to the wrong hotel. I got to see a
lot of more of New Orleans than I expected to see.
But then when I got here, it was just everyone
was just so nice. Right, It's I'm carrying my uniform
and just the amount of people who told me thank
you for your service.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And I'm not even wearing the uniform.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
It's just in a bag, a garment bag, and they
just see a couple of a couple of little shiny
things there and they want.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
To talk about it.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
And it's just I think that's what we get from
understanding that the nature as a whole some matter, different cultures,
different backgrounds. At the end of the day, when when
we get to a place such as New Orleans, where
they're putting a lot of people into the United States Navy,
a lot of people to the military in general.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
You have nothing to do but just see it and.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Recognize, like just buy into the culture and understand that
these people are are just like everybody across the world,
just like in Texas, just like in Virginia. So I
love it here. I wish I could stay a lot longer.
But it's been an amazing time so far.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So what is your exact assignment this weekend? What have
you been doing?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
What?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What what are you doing at the other than you know,
the big game of course.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, I think we're just here to tell our story.
We're here to wear the uniform proudly.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
We're here to you know, speak of the different opportunities
the Navy has to offer.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
And we're really just you know, the face of the
Navy at this point.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
And trying to hit as many markets and audiences as
we possibly can.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So if people are interested in a Navy career and
they're listening right now, what should they do?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Well, the first thing they should do is is log
on in their computer Navy dot com Wealthy Resources.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
It will get you to learn about any and everything
any job that you could ever do. Any conversation you
would ever need to have with a son or a daughter,
or a nephew or a student, Navy dot com is
going to get you there. You also have the hashtag
on any social media platform for America's Navy.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
You also have.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Captain Captain Jervy over there, who has a strong, strong
presence and he keeps us up to date the Navy
in general. Right, the average warfighter knows exactly who that
person is over there on that screen besides you, so
they there's many there's plenty of opportunities, plenty of ways,
but maybe dot com will be will be my first suggestion,
and you can. You can find out any and everything
you need to know about about joining America's Great Navy.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Who are you guys rooining for?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I'm room for.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
I don't know if I say to that Philly I want,
I want Philadelphia don't win.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I Look. I was born in Philadelphia and my father
was a season ticket holder to the Eagles. When I
was growing up, my oldest brother got to go to
He was there at the infamous Santa Claus game and
he remembers Santa in the back of this car that
(12:45):
was going around the stadium and people booing Santa and
throwing snowballs at Santa. And I have to tell you
my indoctrination my father. You know, I have two older brothers,
so of course they got to go to the games
with my father. But there was one Sunday when they
(13:06):
were both busy, so my father took me. So this
is my first pro football game ever, and it was
the first time I ever saw anyone moon anyone, and
it was the fan mooning the team. This was my
indoctrination to football. Captain Alota, you didn't say who you're
(13:27):
rooting for.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh yeah, I was just waiting for Terry to say.
But I'm diego.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
So I absolutely cannot stand Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
He's been super dominant over the last five years.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
So I am rooting for a big, huge Philadelphia Eagle blowout.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
WHOA from your mouth to God's ear, as my late
grandmother would say. So I have to tell you I'm
very superstitious when it comes to sports. And so the
last game, you know that sent the Eagles to Super Bowl,
my husband and I had Philly cheese steaks. So I
(14:10):
said to him, we got to do it again, because
you know, if we don't and they lose, I'm going
to take full responsibility. And I have to tell you
one more thing. Uh Now, I moved to New York,
New York area, and I became a Giants fan. But
when I married my husband eight years ago, who grew
up on Eagles football as I did, I took a
(14:32):
wedding vow that when the Giants aren't in it, I
would root for the Eagles. Guess what it was eight
years ago when the Eagles fortunes turned around, And it
was eight years ago when the Giants started to suck
and they never ever recovered. So I take full responsibility that, yes,
(14:54):
well go Eagles, And thank you so much for joining
me this morning, Captain v Alda and Commander Tyree Barnes.
And again, Navy dot com that is the place to go.
Speaker 1 (15:08):

of them are joining us from Super Bowl fifty nine
in New Orleans. It is their first Super Bowl and
for both of you. Is it the first visit to

Speaker 2 (09:50):
So what were your first impressions, Commander Barnes.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
It was beautiful. So well, my first impression was I
went to the wrong hotel. I got to see a
lot of more of New Orleans than I expected to see.
But then when I got here, it was just everyone
was just so nice. Right, It's I'm carrying my uniform
and just the amount of people who told me thank
you for your service.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And I'm not even wearing the uniform.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
It's just in a bag, a garment bag, and they
just see a couple of a couple of little shiny
things there and they want.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
To talk about it.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
And it's just I think that's what we get from
understanding that the nature as a whole some matter, different cultures,
different backgrounds. At the end of the day, when when
we get to a place such as New Orleans, where
they're putting a lot of people into the United States Navy,
a lot of people to the military in general.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
You have nothing to do but just see it and.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Recognize, like just buy into the culture and understand that
these people are are just like everybody across the world,
just like in Texas, just like in Virginia. So I
love it here. I wish I could stay a lot longer.
But it's been an amazing time so far.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So what is your exact assignment this weekend? What have
you been doing?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
What?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What what are you doing at the other than you know,
the big game of course.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, I think we're just here to tell our story.
We're here to wear the uniform proudly.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
We're here to you know, speak of the different opportunities
the Navy has to offer.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
And we're really just you know, the face of the
Navy at this point.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
And trying to hit as many markets and audiences as
we possibly can.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So if people are interested in a Navy career and
they're listening right now, what should they do?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Well, the first thing they should do is is log
on in their computer Navy dot com Wealthy Resources.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
There.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
It will get you to learn about any and everything
any job that you could ever do. Any conversation you
would ever need to have with a son or a daughter,
or a nephew or a student, Navy dot com is
going to get you there. You also have the hashtag
on any social media platform for America's Navy.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
You also have.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Captain Captain Jervy over there, who has a strong, strong
presence and he keeps us up to date the Navy
in general. Right, the average warfighter knows exactly who that
person is over there on that screen besides you, so
they there's many there's plenty of opportunities, plenty of ways,
but maybe dot com will be will be my first suggestion,
and you can. You can find out any and everything
you need to know about about joining America's Great Navy.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Who are you guys rooining for?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I'm room for.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
I don't know if I say to that Philly I want,
I want Philadelphia don't win.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I Look. I was born in Philadelphia and my father
was a season ticket holder to the Eagles. When I
was growing up, my oldest brother got to go to
He was there at the infamous Santa Claus game and
he remembers Santa in the back of this car that
(12:45):
was going around the stadium and people booing Santa and
throwing snowballs at Santa. And I have to tell you
my indoctrination my father. You know, I have two older brothers,
so of course they got to go to the games
with my father. But there was one Sunday when they
(13:06):
were both busy, so my father took me. So this
is my first pro football game ever, and it was
the first time I ever saw anyone moon anyone, and
it was the fan mooning the team. This was my
indoctrination to football. Captain Alota, you didn't say who you're
(13:27):
rooting for.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh yeah, I was just waiting for Terry to say.
But I'm diego.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
So I absolutely cannot stand Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
He's been super dominant over the last five years.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
So I am rooting for a big, huge Philadelphia Eagle blowout.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
WHOA from your mouth to God's ear, as my late
grandmother would say. So I have to tell you I'm
very superstitious when it comes to sports. And so the
last game, you know that sent the Eagles to Super Bowl,
my husband and I had Philly cheese steaks. So I
(14:10):
said to him, we got to do it again, because
you know, if we don't and they lose, I'm going
to take full responsibility. And I have to tell you
one more thing. Uh Now, I moved to New York,
New York area, and I became a Giants fan. But
when I married my husband eight years ago, who grew
up on Eagles football as I did, I took a
(14:32):
wedding vow that when the Giants aren't in it, I
would root for the Eagles. Guess what it was eight
years ago when the Eagles fortunes turned around, And it
was eight years ago when the Giants started to suck
and they never ever recovered. So I take full responsibility that, yes,
(14:54):
well go Eagles, And thank you so much for joining
me this morning, Captain v Alda and Commander Tyree Barnes.
And again, Navy dot com that is the place to go.
