Dear Shipmate,

Our Sailors are our most important resource, and I am committed to the health and well-being of every Sailor in our fleet. That is why I am personally contacting you to learn about your experiences in the Navy. This is your chance to add your voice to work we are doing to improve the lives of every Sailor. I need you to help me, and all of your leaders, understand how to better serve you.

To participate:

1. Go to www.dodsurveys.mil on any computer, tablet, or smartphone

2. Complete the survey by Date XX, 2021 to be removed from the contact list

Your response matters. This survey is so important that it is considered Official Business and can be completed during the duty day using any government or personal device.

Your individual responses will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with your commanders. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and will be combined with responses from other Sailors to help us to shape programs and training that impact you and your unit.

I know that you are very busy, so I deeply appreciate you taking your time to complete this survey. Thank you for your service and your commitment to our fleet and our Nation.

People First,

Michael M. Gilday

Admiral Michael M. Gilday

Chief of Naval Operations
