If anyone would like to assist with a research project of the Arma Realism/Milsim community I would appreciate a response to the provided survey. All information is public with the exception of Personal Identifying Information which will be screened out of the results. This could be a great tool for unit leaders wanting to see what the arma community truly values. Although this unit is defunct I am putting this out this survey to anyone that is still here. I am currently stationed in Guam and am unable to participate in Arma Unit's therefore I decided to use some free time and do a little research about the Arma Community. If you could be so kind as to provide a response it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone would like to see the compiled data please reach out. https://forms.gle/suDhmH1PHVk12mxp7
