For the 2012 survey, more than 4,000 military families weighed in on everything from pay and benefits to spouse employment and social media to OPTEMPO, Post Traumatic Stress, TBI and suicide. The results were released in a joint session of the Senate and House Military Family caucuses with a panel of experts, including Mrs. Deanie Dempsey, wife of General Martin Dempsey; Dr. Meg Harrell from Center for New American Security, Rich Morin from Pew Charitable Trusts; Dr. Mary Keller, executive director of Military Child Education Coalition; and Dr. Vivian Greentree, Director of Research and Policy for Blue Star Families.
