Uniformed Services. The Commission will hear from senior commanders of 
local military commands and their senior enlisted advisors, unit

    c. a series of questions posed by the Chairman and Commissioners to 
the panelists.
    The Chairman and Commissioners will pose questions to the attendees 
of the Town Hall the evening of Monday, December 3rd. Attendees will 
then be given an opportunity to address the Chairman and Commissioners

    Due to the deliberative, nascent and formative nature of the 
Commission's work at this very early stage, the Commissioners are 
unable to discuss their thoughts, plans or intentions for specific 
recommendations that will ultimately be made to the President and 
Congress.
    Each public hearing will be transcribed and placed on the 
Commission's Web site. In addition to public hearings, and due to the 
essential need for input from the beneficiaries, the Commission is 
accepting and strongly encourages comments and other submissions on its 
Web site (www.mcrmc.gov).

Christopher Nuneviller,
Associate Director, Administration and Operations.
