Force Master Chief Terry J. Prince, Hospital Corps director, will host his first virtual live chat, Nov. 23, at 1:00 p.m. EST.

Navy Medicine will facilitate the virtual chat using Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/USNavyMedicine and Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/NavyMedicine.

Prince will discuss the mission and future of the Hospital Corps - the Navy's most decorated Corps. The live chat also serves as an opportunity for Sailors, Marines, their families, and all other Navy Medicine beneficiaries to get to know one of Navy Medicine's leaders and ask any questions they might have about the Hospital Corps and the role corpsmen have in delivering their health care.

"I'm excited to engage in a conversation with Sailors, Marines and their families through social media," said Prince. "I encourage participants to ask me questions about the critical role of the Hospital Corps."

Questions may be submitted to Prince during the live chat using the hashtag #AskTheFORCM. Personnel submitting questions should include their name, rank, rate and command.
