 The Navy wants your feedback to improve health services. Selected sailors will be asked to participate in a DOD health survey to help assess the health status of service members. The survey is conducted every three years and assesses the health and lifestyles of military personnel and the potential impact to mission readiness. Surveys will be sent out through a secure email invitation. The Chief of Naval Personnel visited sailors deployed to the Navy's U.S. Fifth Fleet. During the visit, he discussed a variety of topics, including the Meritorious Advancement Program, uniform changes, and compensation. Changes are coming for tri-care beneficiaries who take certain brand name medications. Starting October 1st, they will be required to fill prescriptions at a military facility or from a mail-in program instead of a retail pharmacy. The change will only affect beneficiaries, not active duty service members. For more information on the upcoming tri-care policy, visit health.mil. For these stories and more, visit Navy.mil.
