Anonymous feedback and honest feedback can both be true. We see that with ICE, Command Climate Surveys, and the recent Unaccompanied Housing Survey — all anonymous. If you dismiss anonymous feedback as dishonest, then you’d have to dismiss those mechanisms too. Yes, Hots&Cots is anonymous, but we’ve built ways for leaders to engage directly through our leadership dashboard. I’ve personally spoken with reviewers who are willing to engage with leadership when given the chance. Service members come to Hots&Cots because traditional means of getting issues addressed are broken. I get the feeling from SMA that Hots&Cots is being viewed as trying to make the Army look bad — that couldn’t be further from the truth. We’ve spent countless hours meeting with leaders across the force, on our own dime and time, to advocate for Soldiers living in the barracks. We all want the same thing — a great dining experience. Whether feedback comes with a name attached or not, it still reflects real experiences. The goal should be to listen, not to filter out voices based on how they’re shared. As I’ve always said I’m ready to give SMA’s team a verified account

Hots&Cots made it to Congress! Last night, I had the incredible honor of traveling to DC for an event hosted by Better Homes 4 Heroes, where I spoke alongside members of the Quality of Life Panel. In my remarks (timed perfectly at 4:56!), I shared how Hots&Cots is improving barracks living conditions and the quality of life for service members. One of the highlights? Having one of our team members and a soldier we helped through a review join me. It was a full-circle moment showing the real impact we’re making. In the audience were Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️, Chrissy Houlahan, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans & Rep. Richard Hudson. After my speech, a teammate and I had a chance to chat briefly with them about key concerns, including women’s safety in the barracks. It’s surreal to reflect on how far we’ve come—from creating a platform where service members can leave honest reviews to now having their voices heard by policymakers and advocates. Thanks you to Better Homes for Heroes for the invite and support and thank you to everyone who’s supported this mission, left reviews, or reached out to share your stories. Your voices are driving real change.
