MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- Two important Navywide quality of life surveys are now reaching the hands of selected Sailors that will allow them to give their opinions on Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) and Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) programs.
Navy Personnel, Research, Studies and Technology developed the surveys in consultation with the Quality of Life Policy and Oversight Division within the Fleet Support Department of the Navy Personnel Command and Commander, Navy Installations. The survey results will be used to gauge satisfaction with these two programs.
The MWR survey covers programs and services such as child and youth development, fitness centers, golf, bingo, bowling, swimming, outdoor recreation, internet access, and movies, while the FFSC survey covers programs and services that include personal financial management, relocation assistance, transition assistance, spouse employment, deployment support and family advocacy. Questions are about frequency of use, satisfaction, and the perceived importance of these and other programs.
“In my view, this is one of the most important surveys Sailors can be asked to take. The results will be used by Navy leadership to improve quality of life for all members of the Navy community,” said Bill Mullins, QOL Policy and Oversight Division director, Fleet Support Department, Navy Personnel Command.
Notification was mailed to approximately 35,000 randomly-selected enlisted Sailors and officers evenly divided between the two surveys. The letter includes a user I.D. and the Web site address to access the Web-based surveys. Participation is voluntary; however, responses are highly encouraged since the results of these surveys will make a difference. They will be analyzed this summer and briefed to top Navy leadership, posted on Navy Web sites and provided to those chosen to take the surveys.
