Right now, the problem with my command is that most of the junior enlisted is very complacent and unmotivated. Although this is a Sea Duty billet, most Sailors here feel as if they aren't making a difference, and their work here does not matter. As a result, quality of work and rate of work completion has gone down. These Sailors are great workers when they have their mind set to it, but they are stuck in a rut that most Engineers here hit, if not most Sailors at this base. What are some things that I could do to increase morale and their motivation/work ethic?
