Air Force Climate Survey helps shape future force

  • Published
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) --  Airmen will have the power to shape the Air Force of the future through the 2005 Air Force Climate Survey that begins Oct. 1.

“This survey will help us ensure we are taking care of our most important asset -- our people,” said Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. T. Michael Moseley. “We have used the most advanced information-masking reporting software available to ensure your identity will be protected. The questions in the survey itself are intentionally hard-hitting, and I fully expect your direct, honest and candid feedback.”

The survey, themed “Speak Today, Shape Tomorrow,” provides a unique total force perspective and includes active-duty, Reserve, Air National Guard and both appropriated and nonappropriated funded civilians. The identities of each participant are protected and every response is reviewed for consideration.

In past surveys, respondents have provided feedback on issues that affect their organizations’ ability to perform the mission, such as resources, training and development and unit flexibility. This year, respondents are being asked to provide feedback on their immediate supervisor’s “enduring competencies.”

The Air Force’s enduring competencies are the personal, managerial and leadership qualities that should be common to all Air Force members. These results will provide senior leaders with a valuable baseline of the competencies used for force development.

“It’s your chance to provide honest and straightforward answers to issues that directly affect you and your fellow Airmen,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Gerald R. Murray.

The survey is available and can be accessed, from work or at home, through Nov. 23 online at https://afclimatesurvey.af.mil. (Courtesy of the Air Force Manpower Agency)
