The survey's targeted audience includes military service members, dependents, spouses, domestic partners, veterans, Department of Defense civilians and contractors, NASA civil servants and contractors and FBI and ATF personnel.
The chamber said the survey information will be shared with local news media, Team Redstone, The Redstone rocket, local family readiness groups, military spouse networks and other professional associations.
