 Outreach Meeting of September 8,2004 with Retired Military
Responses to Questionnaire

1) Were the briefings informational?

2) Were the briefings timed properly?

3) How might we make the sessions more productive?

Jed L. Babbln
The briefings were veN good. The s e ~ i o n with
s Doug Feith, Gen. Myers and SFCDFF
nere tremendous The Army briefing coulda been a lot shorter. There wasn't much there
I hadn't heard before

One suggestion I'd make is for you to organize "country briefs" on Iran, Pakistan, India
and whatever other nations you feel most worthy of attention That would focus us
more Also, Mr Feith and Gen Myers had things to say that impact NATO I'd very
much appreciate an up to date brief on N A T ~ with
, emphasis on how we are looking for
it to evolve over the next few years

Thomas G. Mclnerney
Great briefings and very timely
This was one of the best meetings we have had Sec Def was in excellent
form

I have doubts about that one Major who asks all the wrong questions TOO
SELF SERVING

Keep having them

Tim J. Eads
Very good session today If I had one &iftcfsm in would be Charlie
Abell's brief I am not sure what he was saying that would be useful
for us as we annear on TV I think all of us assume that DOD (no matter
from what administration) does everything humanely possible to allow its
.
personnel to vote. From mv. stand noint. I Bet
- the most out of these
sessions where the briefer leaves time for questions at the end. A
c o u p l ~the
f hnefers did not do this 1 do not know what kind of
guidance you give them before these sessions but 1would recommend that
\hc\ be told 10 allow at least 113of the time for auestions. Of
course, it is incumbent on us military analysis toget with our
counterparts and make sure we stay on point. I will talk to Andy
Messing and make sure that he unders&ds that these are not marketing
opportunities.

In reference to Secretary England's presentation, I have a number of
questions and was wondering if there was someone I can contact to get
some more details If you would prefer, I will give you the questions
and you can get back to me I believe that Fox is going to try and run
something this weekend (assuming that it is becomes astory)

Frank B. Campbell
The bnefings were very topical and informative I think the timing was very good

One of the best questions was not a "current news issue" The question was regarding
how the speaker thought Transformation is going I thought the answers were very
informationaland insightful

Therefore, I would encourage you to include in the future agendae an occasional item that
is not dependent on the "news of the dav". This is in addition to the items you currently
include which are VERY important too

Overall, I would really not change much.

I would encourage attendees 1%)make their question< more relevant to the group Today
one attendee asked questions that were narrowly focused, off the suhieci and seemed ID
have apersonal agenda...1am sure that detracted...it certainly did forme. As this has
never happened in the past, maybe it is not a real problem.

Thank you for your service and hard work.

Buck Kernan

The session was very informative and most appreciated I would recommend that where
possible, we be provided copies of the briefing slides You all did an excellent job
managing the time.

Thomas L.Wilkeraon

I enjoyed meeting you in person and appreciate your help in

navigaung the DoD sccunty process. You made it all easy

I found the briefings informative - Allison ran the schedule

like a Manne drill sergeant! Good1

I offer only one comment on future meetings - let us know the

schedule in advance so we can plan our own schedule around it to attend
Robert L. Maginnis

Great bnefings and lot of solid information Not enough Q&A for upfront speakers,
however.

Briefings were very current It would be useful to have access these people or their press
.
reps a s k s even; break. Mv single OSD PA person doesn I have the breath of
knonlcdgc to address the broad cross sccuon of issues.

Well organized but rushed. Thanks. You did great and the briefers were very helpful

Joe Lopez

1) Were the briefings infonnationaP[Joe Lopez] Yes, just the right

amount of detail

2) Were the bnefings timed pmperly^[Joe Lopez] Excellent discipline

on this

3) How might we make the sessions more productive~JoeLopez] This was

the best one I've attended Constraining the time and getting to
questions soonest after the "message" delivery seems to be the "secret"
My sense is that all of us want to assist and "get it nght"
L t ,

Chuck Nash

Enjoyed briefings. Timely. Would like to have seen more time with Secretary England
to pose service specific questions.
