    •  Hello! I’m Stephanie Brown, an undergraduate honors student majoring in psychology at Seattle Pacific University. As part of my honors research project, I am surveying military personnel (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard) to look at unit cohesion after the repeal of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell.” If you are a member of the U.S. Armed Forces - Active, National Guard, or Reserve - you can message me and I will send you the survey, or you can take the survey online by clicking on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DADTunitcohesion. The survey does NOT ask for your name. At the end of the survey (if you wish) you can provide your email address to be entered into a raffle drawing for a $25, $50, or $75 Visa gift card. Your email will be kept separate from your survey answers and will be destroyed after the raffle takes place.
