Tell us: How did your extremism stand-down go?

Formations across the Defense Department have until early April to hold one-day stand-downs on the topic of domestic extremism, aimed at reminding service members of the limits of free-speech in the military, with some training on what is and isn’t authorized.

If your unit has already completed its stand-down, we want to know how it went: How many people were involved, how it was conducted, what kinds of questions and answers came up, and did you learn anything? Responses may be included in a Military Times story, with names withheld for privacy.
