It's Navy Week! Notre Dame plays Navy, and Golden Helmets & Green Jackets is marking it with two shoulder surgeons whose careers run through service, South Bend and the reverse shoulder revolution.

Dr. Mark Mighell grew up in the DC area, went to UVA on a Navy scholarship and trained in undersea medicine. He talks about life on a submarine ("like sleeping in a coffin"), serving in Bahrain during Operation Desert Storm, Navy surgical training and leadership, and retiring as a Commander.

Dr. Brian Badman grew up on the south side of South Bend, went to the IU School of Medicine (where he roomed with Jeff Yergler), did his residency at Florida and then a fellowship with Dr. Mighell. He shares how his grandparents and mentors shaped him, and how his son Alex found the Notre Dame connection.

Then we talk about the reverse shoulder revolution, faith and the hardest cases, robotics vs. patient-specific guides, augmented reality, cost and the future of shoulder replacement. We finish with golf after a shoulder replacement, fishing, and Jeff Yergler's famous tailgate. We also share our Notre Dame vs. Navy predictions and how much the Notre Dame Orthopaedic Society means to us.

Thank you for your service, Dr. Mighell. Go Irish, and Beat Navy!

Notre Dame v Navy, Game Time: Trench Stories from the Academy | GHGJ Ep. 11

It's Notre Dame v Navy week on Golden Helmets and Green Jackets, and we're paying our respects to one of the oldest rivalries in college football.

Host Michael "GOLFDOC" Maier, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and lifelong Notre Dame fan

This week's guests are two men who lived in the trenches for the Naval Academy:

⚓ August Roitsch (#74, center). Former Navy Lieutenant, Rice grad, and energy industry veteran (Anadarko, Kinder Morgan).

⚓ Marshall Green (#64, right tackle). Played right tackle against Notre Dame in South Bend in 2005. August's teammate and close friend.

Both played on the Navy offensive line under Paul Johnson.

In this episode:

☘️ The 1927 Notre Dame–Navy game, WWII, and Admiral Nimitz: how the Navy helped keep Notre dame afloat during the war, and why the series has continued ever since

🔥 A tribute to Navy strength coach Todd Spencer and his line "I wish it was hotter"

📞 The call: "Son, how would you like to play football for Navy?"

🏈 2007: Navy 46, Notre Dame 44 in triple overtime, ending Notre Dame's 43-game streak

🏆 The Emerald Bowl, and the 2004 line that stayed together

🏋️ "You're not a hobby lifter," and Coach Spencer roaming the weight room

💦 Marshall on ND "leaving the sprinklers on all night" in South Bend

💪 "Victor Abiamiri was legit."

A huge thank-you to August and Marshall, and to everyone who has served. Go Irish, and respect to the Mids. ☘️⚓

Notre Dame is on its bye week, and Navy is next on Halloween at Gillette Stadium, so the Golf Doc, Dr. Michael Maier, hears from the other side of the Service Academy family.

Two members of the West Point Class of 1991 join the show:

• Otto Leone, Army quarterback (one-for-one, 64 yards vs. Temple, a perfect day), Ranger School grad and Notre Dame MBA

• John Robb, Army linebacker and co-captain of the 1990 team, founder of The Stone Creek Group in Denver and longtime WPAOG investment committee member

We cover calculus class on Saturday morning before kickoff at Michie Stadium, plebe boxing and swimming, why Army-Navy is unlike any rivalry in football, wearing gas masks during a Desert Storm senior year, life after the Army, Champions Golf Club and Jackie Burke, and why the West Point network is unrivaled. We also honor the people who brought this episode together: Dr. Tom Parr, Joannie Parr and Bill York.

Plus: a 1990 Sports Illustrated with Rick Mirer on the cover and John on the inside, and the advice they'd give a high school recruit choosing between NIL money and West Point.
