Navy Exchange-Commissary Store
Advisory board set up in response to Z-gram •
Have you wondered why many
things don't get done at the Navy
Exchange or Commissary Store the
way you would like them to be
done? Could it be that you simp-
ly haven't bothered to let anyone
know your feelings?
Both the exchange and commis-
sary have had suggestion boxes
for some time. The exchange has
even installed a suggestion re-
corder for your convenience, Ext.
8186. The officers-in-charge of
both facilities have repeatedly
announced that their phones are
open anytime to comments or crit-
icisms.
In response to Z-gram 33, the
naval station has established a
Navy Exchange - Commissary Store
Advisory Board. The Chief of
Naval Operations has outlined the
need for action for the customer-
to-management aspects of the Cus-
tomer Relations Program, or "as-
suring simple and direct communi-
cation between all exchange and
commissary patrons and the manage-
ment of those activities." Under
the chairmanship of Raymond J.
LaCrolx of the Admin department,
the new Advisory Board has been
set up to provide this communica-
tions link.
The board membership is for a
six-month period, and most units
and commands have provided a rep-
resentative. The naval station's
Master Chief Petty Officer, AOCM
Tom Jarrell, is the key represen-
tative for station departments.
Other units and commands which are
not listed below may obligate
someone to represent them.
"Availability" is the key word
for your representatives. When
your representative can't attend
meetings, he can pass along his
unit's suggestions, gripes and
comments to Master Chief Jarrell,
who will present them at the
meeting in the name of that par-
ticular component.
As with any advisory board,
each member has one vote, with
the chairman casting his ballot
only in the case of a tie. The
board votes on every item (sug-
gestion, gripe) that has a poten-
tial for adding service and sat-
isfaction to the patron, no mat-
ter how small or trivial the idea
may seem.
Here are the board members and
their phone numbers. If your
unit or department is not listed,
it is not that we are slighting
you. It is because the naval
station conference room is just
not large enough to hold a repre-
sentative from each and every
unit on base. You smaller units
also may refer your suggestions
and gripes to Master Chief Jar-
rell for presentation to the new
board.
The board members are:
These interested people are
your contacts. Now, it is up to
you to voice your opinions so
they may be heard.
The commissary and exchange do
the best they can, but they could
do better in satisfying your par-
ticular desires if you Just let
them know what you want.
