The results of the 2014 Navy Retention Survey --- which received over 5,500 responses out of a pool of over 320,000 active-duty sailors --- was released on Sept. 1. The self-directed, independent study, conducted by a group of active-duty members of the U.S. Navy, was commissioned to best determine what concerned sailors the most, and how likely they would be to stay in the Navy in regards to those concerns.
