NEW ORLEANS (NNS) -- The Career Decision Survey is not “just another survey.” It is a thorough questionnaire designed to gather important feedback from Naval Reservists on topics of pay, leadership and retention.
“It is crucial for all Reservists to participate as it can directly impact the pay and benefits decisions being made,” said Navy Counselor (NC) Master Chief (SW/AW) Flake of Commander Naval Reserve Force (COMNAVRESFOR) Force Retention.
The survey gives Reservists access to management and policy makers. It is also a valuable retention and recruitment tool, providing Sailors with information on current issues and available services and benefits.
Complementing the survey this year is a link for demobilizing Reservists. Members will answer questions about initial notification procedures, berthing, pay and impact on the Sailor’s family and civilian job.
“Gathering data from demobilizing Reservists will help us prepare for future evolutions,” Flake said.
“The results from the survey conducted last year reflected issues with pay and Physical Readiness Test (PRT) standards,” Flake added. “Reserve leadership addressed the issue, reviewed policies and tried to resolve discrepancies.”
