Survival Guide

SLDN's Survival Guide is the most comprehensive resource available for service members, their families and friends regarding "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and related forms of discrimination.

Service members should be aware of what the law says, their rights and what to do if you are investigated for a suspected violation of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Learn more in the Survival Guide.

*Since SLDN published the Survival Guide, Congress has made significant changes to the GI Bill. Both the eligibility requirements and the benefits have changed. Some service members may be eligible to choose between the old and new version. For more advice on the GI Bill, call the VA GI Bill Hotline at: 1-888-GIBILL-1 or if overseas, either 716-857-3196 or 716-857-3197.
