SUBJ/IMPROVING NAVY WORKFORCE PROJECT//
 
RMKS/1.  IN THE COMING WEEKS 1,500 FIRST CLASS AND CHIEF PETTY
OFFICERS WILL BE ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT PHASE OF THE
"IMPROVING THE NAVY WORKFORCE" SURVEY FIRST ANNOUNCED LAST JUNE.
WHILE I KNOW IT MAY BE TOUGH TO FIND TIME FOR THIS SURVEY, WE NEED
RESPONSES FROM THESE TALENTED SUPERVISORS BECAUSE THEIR EFFORTS WILL
BE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF SEA WARRIOR.
 
2.  LAST SUMMER, THOUSANDS OF MID-LEVEL PETTY OFFICERS TOOK THE
INITIAL VERSION OF THE SURVEY, AND THEIR RESPONSES HAVE TREMENDOUSLY
HELPED US BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL NATURE OF WORK IN NAVY
RATINGS AND SPECIALTIES.  THAT RESPONSE SETS THE STAGE FOR US TO
POLL THEIR SUPERVISORS AND TO REVIEW AND ADD TO THE DATA ALREADY
COLLECTED.
 
3.  OVER THE NEXT YEAR ADDITIONAL SAILORS WILL BE ASKED TO FURNISH
MORE INFORMATION AND CONTRIBUTE SMALL AMOUNTS OF TIME TO THIS
REVOLUTIONARY EFFORT.  WHEN FINISHED, THE "IMPROVING THE NAVY
WORKFORCE" PART OF SEA WARRIOR WILL BE THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH ALL
NAVY TECHNICAL TRAINING IS BASED.  SO MUCH IS RIDING ON THIS SURVEY.
WE NEED THE INFORMATION THAT OUR VERY BEST SUPERVISORS HAVE AND USE
EVERYDAY.  SEA WARRIOR CANNOT SUCCEED WITHOUT IT.
 
4.  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND, IF SELECTED, FOR YOUR
PARTICIPATION.
