For Facebook: "SOUND OFF: Force-wide survey open now for another month, and the brass wants to hear what you think."

Airmen have another four weeks to take this year's Total Force Climate Survey.

, the Air Force said in a March 30 release

The survey, which opened up March 13, and will close April 27. It is open to active-duty airmen, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and civilian employees.

The Air Force said it will keep inviting airmen to take the survey through the end of March.

"This is a great opportunity for airmen across the Air Force to provide feedback to their leaders," acting Air Force Survey Office chief Brenda Gainey said in a March 30 the release. "By completing this survey, you can help your leaders target trouble areas within your organization. You are the best source of information about what is working and what needs improvement."

Gainey said the survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. It asks airmen for their opinions and perceptions on topics such as resources, recognition, job satisfaction and unit performance.

There are also major command-specific questions, and a place where airmen can submit written comments.

A copy of the survey was not immediately available. The Air Force Personnel Center said it is likely to be provided to Air Force Times on Wednesday.

The Air Force says all survey responses are confidential. Unit reports contain only demographic information regarding service component and whether the person taking the survey is an officer, enlisted airman or civilian. If fewer than seven people from a component or an officer, enlisted or civilian status respond, the Air Force said results will not be broken out at the unit level. Those responses will roll up to the next unit level. No other demographic information is provided in unit reports.

"The Total Force Climate Survey gives us all a chance to highlight concerns that directly affect us and our unit mission," Gainey said. "This is critical feedback that leaders at every level need to improve their organizations and the Air Force."
