Abstract:

The study sought to locate the opinions of young, primarily enlisted Guardsmen, the group most eligible for reenlistment. The study used a survey questionnaire, which included questions relating to civilian education and job skills, as well as job assignments in the Guard. It also sought to find how much these Guardsmen engaged in conversations about reenlistment, and with whom they had these conversations. The study also obtained the usual demographic facts.
