The annual IMCOM Customer Service Assessment (CSA) was released
on Monday, 30 August 2010. I am asking your assistance in encouraging
full participation from our Soldiers, Family members, and civilian work
force. To improve services to our community, it is essential for the Gar-
rison to receive feedback from many different sources. Combined with
other information, responses to the CSA will be used to help evaluate
our delivery of services here in Hawaii. Our direction will be impacted
by what our customers think. Participants will be guided to questions
relevant to their particular demographic (e.g., leader, Soldier, civilian,
Family member) and will be asked to rate garrison services with re-
gards to importance and performance. I know that we are all busy but
the survey only takes about 20 minutes to complete. If you are unable
to finish the assessment in one sitting, you can return to it at a later time
to complete. The assessment is web-based; it can be accessed at
www.mymilitaryvoice.org and will be available from 30 August to 19
September. If you need additional information, please contact Ophelia
Isreal at Customer Management
Services/PAIO, 655-9026.
Hometown News teams begin 2010 Holiday Greetings taping
Three separate broadcast teams from the Joint Hometown News Service in San Antonio, Texas, are boarding planes this week to begin taping video holiday greetings of servicemembers and their families stationed overseas during the holiday season. Servicemembers and civilian employees from all branches of service, their family members, and DoD civilians are eligible to participate, according to Erich Schwab, this year's holiday greetings coordinator. According to Schwab, who is also the European team chief, three teams comprised of three members per team will travel to the Pacific, Europe and Southwest Asia theaters, setting up their cameras in more than 60 locations. When a team sets up in your area, Schwab says there are just a few guidelines to follow to ensure family and friends back home see your personal greeting on local television and hear it on local radio stations. • Make sure to bring your address book. You'll need family members' names, city, state and phone number. No street address is needed, but station managers need phone contact info to let families know when your greeting will air. • Servicemembers need to be in uniform. Work uniform is fine. Family members should accompany their sponsor, unless their sponsor is deployed. And, of course, don't forget the props: Santa's hats, pets, banners and Christ-mas attire. • Depending upon where you're stationed, there is a good chance there will be waiting lines. Lunch time and after work is normally prime time, so if you can break away for a few minutes during mid morning or mid afternoon, you can avoid the rush. • In front of the camera: There aren't a lot of rules, but here are some tips to make the experience go smoothly. The top three - relax, relax and relax. So what if you'll be seen by a million TV viewers. When you're taping it's just you and the camera. • Try to be cheerful and in the holiday spirit. It doesn't show well on camera if your teenage daughter looks like she'd rather be at the mall than wishing grandma happy holidays. • Try to keep hand gestures to a minimum and, of course, no profanity. When you're giving your greetings, don't say "Happy Thanksgiving." Most of these greetings will air from Thanksgiving Day through New Year's Day and could quickly become obsolete if the specific holiday mentioned has come and gone when your greeting airs. • You don't need a teleprompt or a script, but try writing down your main points on a 3 x 5 card. Sometimes nerves can cause a bout of forgetfulness, so jot down your family members' names and the points you want to get across. If you have family in more than one area, you can do several greetings. You've got 15 to 20 seconds per greeting, more than enough time to get in your holiday wishes to those closest to you. According to Larry Gilliam, Joint Hometown News Service deputy director, when the teams return to San Antonio in mid to late October, production will run 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. Video and audio greetings are separated by state, and in some of the more populated states such as California, Texas, Florida and New York, stations will receive the tapes or DVDs based upon region. Gilliam says an individ-ual's greeting normally will air multiple times during the holidays and usually on more than one station. "In 2009, we mailed out close to 9,500 TV and radio greetings to 1,234 TV stations and 1,689 radio stations," said Gilliam. "Based upon the feedback we received from stations, over 52 million households watched the greetings on TV and 21 million households listened to greetings on the radio. And, those numbers are based just on the small percentage of feedback we received." Check out http://jhns.dma.mil for the 2010 Holiday Schedule!
