Marital Status
|
|||||||||||||||||
Approximately 10 percent of FY 1999 Selected Reserve NPS enlisted accessions were married (Table 5.5). The marriage rates of prior service recruits look markedly different, with 42 percent married. The FY 1999 prior service cohort, predominantly those leaving active duty enlisted service who chose to affiliate with the Reserves, were less likely to be married than active duty enlisted members (52 percent). Also, prior service Reserve recruits were less likely to be married than their civilian counterparts, 20- to 39-year-old civilians in the labor force (51 percent). Among FY 1999 prior service Reserve accessions, a somewhat larger proportion of males were married than females, consistent with the trend in the 20- to 39-year-old civilian population. There were practically no marital status differences by gender for FY 1999 NPs Reserve accessions.
