Navy Survey – Health of the Force

Posted on Updated on

Dear Sailor,

The Navy Survey Office would like to invite you to participate in the 2022 Navy Health of the Force Survey. The survey covers a range of topics including work/life balance, healthcare accessibility, family planning, childcare, and a range of other topics relating to work/life balance. The last time we asked questions about Sailors’ personal lives we learned that:

  • Family planning is becoming increasingly challenging for both men and women in the Navy.
  • Sailors are less likely to believe that Navy policy supports an effective work/life balance.
  • Not all Sailors are comfortable taking the full amount of parental leave available to them.

Participation in this survey is voluntary and it should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Don’t miss the opportunity to let your voice be heard. The results of this survey inform policies and programs that influence Sailors’ personal lives.

To access the survey copy and paste the following link into your web browser or use the QR code below.

You will be asked to enter your DOD ID number to access the survey. This information limits participation to the active duty population and minimizes the number of demographic questions we have to ask.

Thank you for your support with this effort.

Call for Photos and Messages for RDML Hancock’s Retirement

Posted on Updated on

The Medical Corps Chief’s Office is putting together a parting gift for RDML Hancock in honor of his retirement in August.  We want to collect messages from the Corps and pictures that we will compile into a book for him.  We want to highlight the accomplishments that he has had throughout his career and the people that he has influenced/affected over his 40 years of service.  Please distribute this request widely as many may have retired and are not on the current distribution lists.  We are hoping to cast this net as widely as possible so we can get messages and photos from throughout his distinguished career.

POC: Please send all photos and messages to CDR Jennifer Eng Kulawy (contact in the global) NLT July 8th, 2022. 

Thank you for your help with this project.
