Don't ask, don't tell.

>> You're listening to KCOU Columbia 88.1. >> It's 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, and this is Inside Out with DJ Shane. >> And DJ Excellence. We are here for real talk on basic topics facing the LGBTQ and allied folks of Mizzou. I would like to welcome our guest today. Do you want to introduce yourself? >> Absolutely. I'm Commander Mick Bastian. I'm the executive officer of the naval ROTC unit here at the University of Missouri and I'm also the Associate Professor Of Naval Science.
