 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. These are your headlines from around the fleet. McPon Mike Stevens visited Stuttgart, Germany last week to host an All Hands call with sailors. McPon talked about the eSailor initiative, leadership development, and took questions from the audience. When asked about changes in deployment schedules, McPon said USS Carl Vincent's nine-month deployment preparation will help implement the Optimized Fleet Response Plan. The Fleet Response Plan will give sailors a better idea of deployment lengths than schedules. If you're looking to advance this cycle, you should already be studying. If you're a sailor who likes to cram, you can still find your most current bibliography on Navy Knowledge Online or NKO.
