RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Members of Team Mildenhall now have the chance to speak up and help shape the future of quality of life initiatives here thanks to a new survey available until Jan. 15.

The latest Mildenhall Quality of Life survey is located here.

Last year's Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century family of life survey proved that opinions really count.

The survey received high-level interest with every comment reviewed by the Wing Commander, who led a team including the Command Chief and Mission Support Group Commander to prioritize and take action on every item.

As a result of last year's survey, the base saw a number of improvements including the creation of a mother and child area at the Northside Fitness Center, rotisserie chicken at the NYPD restaurant in the Galaxy Club, printers connected to the computers at the Bob Hope Community Center and a user-friendly base directory.

Additionally, as a result of last year's survey, there are upcoming base theater improvements such as new seating and a new sound system. Improved child care including drop-off service is also in the works.

This year's survey will also receive high-level attention and have direct impact on the availability and quality of the services and amenities provided here at RAF Mildenhall, proving that everyone's opinion counts.
