The Navy's biennial Personal and Professional Choices Survey is available for selected Sailors until Feb. 23.

This Secretary of the Navy-directed survey collects data and comments from Sailors across the Fleet to gauge the overall readiness of the Navy and the present-day impact of policies on Sailors. The survey touches on issues such as career development, work-life balance, adoption leave and family planning. Participation is anonymous and completely voluntary, but highly encouraged by Navy leadership.

The 2018 survey began Jan. 17 and will close on Feb. 23. The survey has been sent to 80,000 randomly selected active duty Sailors. Notification emails will be sent to participants from both the Chief of Naval Personnel and the survey platform Max.gov, urging Sailors to use this opportunity to provide their feedback to the Navy. Participation is anonymous and completely voluntary, but Navy leadership strongly encourages selected Sailors to participate.

If you were selected to participate, please take advantage of this opportunity to provide the Navy feedback.

Survey results are expected to be released in August and will be posted on Navy's Inclusion and Diversity website. Questions on the survey may be addressed to the Office of Inclusion and Diversity (OPNAV N1D) at ALTN_USN_INCLUSION_AND_DIVERSITY@navy.mil.
