Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens conducted an all-hands call for Sailors at Naval Air Station Fallon (NASF), Nevada, Aug. 24.

This was the first stop of a two-week visit to various duty stations in Nevada and California.

During the visit, Stevens addressed NASF and tenant command Sailors during an all-hands call in the Warrior Fitness Center. He fielded questions on a variety of topics including pay and benefits, morale, and quality of life initiatives, to include possible changes to the military retirement system.

"It's always great to visit our hard working Sailors in Fallon," said Stevens. "I've been out here on several occasions; twice as the MCPON. I believe it's critical that we recognize the great work that each of you are doing out here to ensure mission readiness."

Following the all-hands call, Stevens took time for a photo opportunity with the Sailors.

"It was nice that the MCPON took time out of his day for photos with us," said Yeoman 3rd Class Kadijah Jones. "It made me feel like he genuinely cares for us and knows what it's like to be in our shoes."

During his visit to NASF, Stevens also met with the chief's mess, and conducted several office calls with the commanding officer and tenant command leadership.

While wrapping up both the chief's and all-hands call, Stevens detailed what he described as his most important career advice for Sailors at all levels.

"I want you all to remember my Foundations to Success," said Stevens. "Work hard every single day, stay out of trouble, and, be a good and decent person."
