FEBRUARY 4, 2025 – Top leaders overseeing base operations are actively seeking feedback and ideas from Sailors on how the Navy can improve installation quality of service programs.
Programs offered at Navy installations include unaccompanied and family housing; Fleet and Family Support Centers; Child and Youth Programs; Morale, Welfare, and Recreation facilities and activities. These programs are to enhance the quality of service of Sailors and their families.
“Our Sailors and families are the heart and soul of everything we do in defense of our nation,” said Vice Adm. Scott Gray, Commander, Navy Installations Command, who manages all 70 Navy installations around the globe. “We recognize that their quality of service maintains their readiness, morale, and overall well-being, which the Navy takes seriously.”
In 2024, the Navy aggressively addressed Sailors’ concerns by implementing changes at the base level. For example, base fitness centers, which previously operated during limited hours, now remain open 24/7, allowing Sailors to focus on physical fitness and mental health wellness. Navy bases have also permitted Sailors living in unaccompanied housing to use personally-owned small appliances in their rooms, giving them another option to cook at home and maintain a healthy diet.
“We continually seek ways to improve customer-focused programs that support warfighters and their families,” Gray added. “We want to hear from them. Their feedback is important to driving meaningful change, and we are committed to turning their input into tangible improvements.”
