Abstract:
Drawing upon new data from the Navys enlisted force, this study estimates the effect on military reenlistment rates of several major policy variables eligibility for the Vietnam-era GI Bill, draft pressure at the original enlistment point, and the amount of formal training given to enlistees in their first term. These specific effects are all shown to be substantially adverse, even after controlling statistically for other key determinants of military retention.
