The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Adm. John Richardson, and the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON), Steven Giordano, plan to conduct a live, online all-hands call Wednesday, Aug. 30 at 3:10 p.m. (EDT) to engage with Sailors and answer questions from the fleet.

Sailors are encouraged to send their questions directly to navysocialmedia@navy.mil both prior to the event and during the all hands call.

"We want to hear from you and let you know we're listening," Giordano said. "We encourage you to be part of this conversation to make sure you truly understand that, at the most senior level, we are listening to you and we are going to make sure you have the answers out there. Send us your questions."

All questions will be addressed either during the live event or following the event through official channels.

The live all hands call will be hosted on the United States Navy's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/USNavy

Those questions not answered during the call will be responded to on the Navy Live blog at http://navylive.dodlive.mil/ following the event.
