                      Conversation screening....
Remember that this is our first time using Facebook for a forum like this. There is
a good chance that we may get a lot of folks joining in on the conversation. So
we may have to remove comments or posts that are not relevant or are
redundant or germane to the discussion. This does not mean we will censor; it
means we will screen the conversations to maximize the value of the discussion.

                          Need more privacy?
You can send us an issue sheet using the template at www.gordon.army.mil,
under NOTICES; Town Hall. Email the form to
GORD.BEHEARD@conus.army.mil. We need to receive your email by 3 p.m.
EST in order to get it addressed at the Town Hall. (We will not be able to monitor
email during the discussion.) Any emails we receive after 3 p.m. EST will be sent
to the appropriate agency for action after 15 March 2011

KEEP IT REAL
 We appreciate and invite your honest comments. Tell us whats working, what
needs improvement, and what services are exceptional.
"KEEP IT CLEAN
 We want you to be honest, but we need the conversations to be constructive.
Lets use these conversations to solve problems, not create more. We will
remove any posts that are abusive or use profanity.
KEEP IT TO AN HOUR
 The subject matter experts that well have answering questions or providing

 This is a new effort, so we may experience some growing pains along the way.
Please be patient with us. Some questions we can answer on the spot, some
well have to look into and get you the answers.
