JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
People invited to 'Ask the Chairman'
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is getting ready to launch his third installment of "Ask the Chairman: A Virtual Town Hall," and he needs your support.
Over the next few weeks, he will be seeking and collecting questions on any topic you want to raise. This is a great opportunity for troops past and present, their families, and other concerned citizens, to get to him directly and in an interactive manner.
For servicemembers, and retirees, especially those who have served abroad, this is your chance to address the decisions that are made in the Pentagon that affect you on a day-to-day basis. Let him know what's working, and what's not. Let him help explain something that may seem confusing to you now.
But, as he says, "Ask the Chairman" is not limited to our troops. He hopes to hear from family members, other concerned Americans, and citizens of the world as well, because in these critical times, there are challenges across the globe which demand our attention and our steady focus. Retirees: This is you!
To participate, just send your question via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, or any other medium from now until the end of the month. He will answer those questions in the next and future segments of "Ask the Chairman." Send your questions today. He is waiting to hear from you.
