 The Chief of Naval Operations and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy hosted a worldwide all-hands call October 8th. Pay, sequestration impacts, and uniform updates were some of the topics discussed with a live studio audience and broadcast to sailors across the fleet. Sailors from various commands and deployed ships throughout the world were able to ask their questions via satellite and social media. CNO's opening statements talked about the importance of being an all-volunteer Navy. It's the 40th anniversary of the all-volunteer force. That's our asymmetric advantage. That's what makes you, all of you, and all of you who are out within the sound of my voice different from any other Navy in the world, it makes you the finest Navy in the world. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson.
