Intro

Census 2020 Survey Link

Hey all you cool cats and kittens! It’s that time of the year again. Y’all ready to sit down, buckle up, and get weird?! Too late, I’m weird as shit already. ANYWAYS, the link at the top will bring you to my survey. In it, I try to finger your pul… PUT my finger on the pulse of this subreddit and many subs like it. ^{Not sure if that sounded better or worse…} One, because y’all are hilarious. Two, it helps your mods learn what you’re really thinking in order to do their jobs more effectively. As y’all go through this, please let me know on this post what kinds of things y’all are interested in me changing for next year.

The survey asks about you and your military experiences. None of the questions are mandatory unless they are built to lead you to specific sections of the survey. I don’t ask for emails or any PII (I think), and if you don’t feel comfortable answering any particular question don’t feel pressed to do so! Leave it blank and move right on to the next question. Won’t hurt my feelings none.

Boilerplate: Please don’t share this census outside of the subreddits in which it’s posted. The intended audience is strictly the current user base of these subreddits, as the results are intended to be used as a pulse check for our specific communities. I’ve contacted the mods of each of these subreddits and have acquired permission explicitly for this. Some subreddits have told me they’re not comfortable with this, so please help me honor that by not crossposting this anywhere else.

FAQ

• Do I have to take this survey?
  • I’m just a random stranger on the internet. Do you always do what folk like me tell you to? Hey, since we’re on the topic, I’ve got some of the most delicious candy in my van down by the river…
• May I submit a FOIA request for the results of this Commander’s Assessment?
  • Noooooooope! Just kidding. I’m leaving the survey open for submissions for a week. On Monday morn, 30 November, I’m shutting her down. Then I’m going to start parsing through the results so I can give the mods the feedback appropriate for their subreddits. Last, I’ll sift through the data and find the best and funniest stuff for your specific subreddit and post the results. I’m going to do my best to get these results out before Christmas, but since I’m actually putting thought and work into the results instead of just letting y’all figure it out I can’t guarantee a release date for those. ESPECIALLY if I’m doing any comparisons between branches, or from this year to previous years.
• Is this actually anonymous?
  • I’m not tracking your username nor google account when you submit this. On top of that, ain’t nobody got time to delve into someone else’s life when I don’t have my own together. Seriously, my shit is in so many socks right now. Why do I have shit in socks? I don’t know anymore.
