GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. DUE TO THE CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, MARINE
CORPS LEADERSHIP IS INTERESTED IN ASSESSING THE PERCEPTIONS OF
MARINES REGARDING THEIR FINANCIAL HEALTH. THIS IS AN INSPECTOR
GENERAL OF THE MARINE CORPS (IGMC) ASSESSMENT WITH ASSISTANCE FROM
DIVISIONS WITHIN M&RA. THIS QUICK POLL WILL BE COMPLETED THROUGH AN
ON-LINE QUESTIONNAIRE WHICH WILL BE ACCESSIBLE VIA THE WEB FROM 14
TO 24 JULY 2008.
2. ALTHOUGH PARTICIPATION IS VOLUNTARY, ALL MARINES ON ACTIVE DUTY
ARE ENCOURAGED TO COMPLETE THIS QUICK POLL. REQUEST COMMANDING
OFFICERS AND SENIOR LEADERS ASSIST IN THE CONDUCT OF THIS POLL BY
ENSURING THAT ALL MARINES ARE NOTIFIED OF THE POLL AND BY PROVIDING
ASSISTANCE FOR ON-LINE ACCESS AS NECESSARY. THE GOAL IS 100 PERCENT
NOTIFICATION OF ALL AVAILABLE MARINES. UNIT LEADERSHIP SUPPORT IS
KEY TO GAINING INFORMATION THAT WILL BE UTILIZED BY HQMC TO ASSIST
OUR MARINES IN SURVIVING FINANCIALLY IN TODAY’S ECONOMIC
ENVIRONMENT.
3. THE MORE MARINES WHO PARTICIPATE, THE BETTER THE INFORMATION WE
WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE WHAT FOLLOW-ON INITIATIVES ARE TO BE
CONDUCTED. WHILE MARINES MUST PROVIDE IDENTIFYING INFORMATION TO
VALIDATE THEMSELVES AS AN ACTIVE DUTY MARINE, THE RESULTS OF THIS
POLL WILL NOT IDENTIFY MARINES BY NAME OR ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER,
DATA WILL BE ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY TRENDS WITHIN PAY GRADE,
GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS, AND OTHER CATEGORIES.
