Navy Quality of Life Survey

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- A Sailor’s view of their quality of life plays an extremely important factor in determining whether they will choose to continue their military career. Recently, more than 5,000 Sailors expressed their views on quality of life in 15 areas during the 2002 Quality of Life Survey.

According to the survey results, Sailors seem positive about their overall quality of life, with 63 percent saying they were satisfied with the military way of life, and 84 percent satisfied with their life in general. However, when asked about their feelings on their professional domains, including shipboard life, current job, preparedness and career development, the satisfaction level varied, with the junior enlisted ranks being less satisfied than chief petty officer and officer ranks.
