Highlights include the following:

Spouse Survey (fielded July-December 2002):

• The spouse survey, the first Navy survey of spouses, was hardcopy only.
• The survey response rate was 31%.
• Spouses were satisfied with most QOL domains (slides 5 & 6) and planned to encourage the member to reenlist (slide 15).
• 61% of enlisted spouses and 50% of officer spouses were employed
• Less than 10% of spouses reported that they were actually looking for work (slide 8).
• Spouses were dissatisfied with the impact PCS has on their career (slide 17).
• 23% of enlisted and 24% of officer spouses reported using a military CDC’s regularly (slide 12)
• Approximately 75% of spouses were aware of Family Support Programs and Services and Leisure/recreation Activities; significantly lower percentages were aware of Spouse Employment Programs, Children’s Programs, and Teen Programs (slides 21 & 22).
• High percentages of spouses currently receive Navy information from other spouses, word of mouth, and the base newspaper; they would like to receive information via email/internet and Wives Club (slides 23 & 24).
