A request from CSBA: Fill out this survey about what you think about military pay

Military pay and benefits are again a
hot topic in Washington. The defense budget is
likely to decline in the coming years, and military pay
and benefits could be part of this reduction.

For leaders in DoD and Congress to
make smart decisions about how to address this complex issue, they need to hear
from those who serve. To better inform this debate, CSBA is conducting an
online survey to measure how service members value different types of military
compensation. The data we collect will help provide a more accurate
picture of service members' preferences and how these preferences vary across
age groups, ranks, and other relevant factors. The results of the survey
will be published in the coming months as part of a CSBA report on the military
compensation system and shared with senior decision-makers in Washington.
