For our service member, veteran, or spouse partners:
We know the rules around social media participation are evolving. To keep things clear, we recommend adding a short disclaimer when sharing The Military Family 360 survey. Below is sample verbiage. This is only a suggestion: active-duty, guard, and reserve service members should confirm with their unit’s Public Affairs Office for the most current guidance. Veterans and spouses are not bound by military regulations.
- For Current Service Members:
“My participation in this survey is voluntary and the survey is not endorsed by the Department of War (Department of Defense) or any of its components.” - For Veterans/Spouses:
“My participation in this survey is voluntary and the survey is not endorsed by the U.S. Government or the leadership of the U.S. Armed Forces.”
