Narrative:
Descending into jax at approximately 15000 ft, we encountered short duration of moderate turbulence. The seatbelt sign had been on for at least 5 mins prior to turbulence. At gate arrival, first flight attendant advised me that the 2 flight attendants in the back of the airplane had ended up on the floor during the turbulence. Both flight attendants stated they had back and neck soreness. Both flight attendants declined medical attention in jax. Dispatcher mr Y was notified of situation. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter said that he was flying a B737-300. He had not told the flight attendants specifically to situation down when he turned on the seatbelt sign. The flight attendants flew back with them the next day, and an in-flight service supervisor met the flight to talk to them.
