New anonymous survey seeks female Soldier input! Fill out by 30 October 2020 to inform U.S. Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) of your athletic bra preferences. Go to S1NET or work through your NCO Support Channel for the official survey link, today!

This summer, the 151st Army Uniform Board identified improving the selection of athletic bras available to female Soldiers as a priority. To that end, the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center developed the survey to give female Soldiers a say in what improvements are needed. The online survey includes questions intended to gather their preferences for this highly personal item and identify the best performing commercial off-the-shelf athletic bra.

Data from the survey will inform decisions regarding which athletic bra the Army makes available through the Army and AAFES or as an issued clothing bag item.

We ask Female Soldiers to take a few minutes to complete the anonymous survey using the link above. All Commanders and Senior NCOs should share this survey with as many female Soldiers as possible to maximize the sample size and ensure the Army provides the best athletic bra options moving forward.

Thank you. Your input is important to the program's success!
