MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE Fla. --  The time for you to speak up about the Air Force is now. The 2013 Unit Climate Survey runs Sept. 9-20.

The survey has 60 standard questions and takes about 20 minutes to complete. The scale ranges from strongly agree to strongly disagree, with a neutral option. The wing commander picks up to 10 locally based questions to address.

"The Unit Climate assessment is a survey for you to give your input to your commander about the good and bad," said Tech. Sgt. Michael Nelson, 6th Air Mobility Wing equal opportunity specialist. "It's a chance for you to speak for yourself."

An example of how the Unit Climate Survey has benefited units is a change in duty schedules. Enough Airmen expressed concern and duty schedule changes were made.

Each squadron will send out an email with a link and password.Common Access Card privileges are not required to take the survey. The survey can be taken by a phone or at home on a personal computer.

"When enough people talk about their issues and have similar issues, positive things can happen," said Nelson.
