Burkhauser, Susan; Hanser, Lawrence M.; Hardison, Chaitra M. – RAND Corporation, 2014
The U.S. military services have traditionally used a tiering system, including education credentials such as high school diplomas, in combination with Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) scores to help gauge the likelihood of a recruit persevering through his or her first term of service. But what about less traditional credentials, such as…

Loughran, David S.; Martorell, Paco; Miller, Trey; Klerman, Jacob Alex – RAND Corporation, 2011
Each year, more than 150,000 young men and women enlist in the active component of the U.S. military.

Asch, Beth J.; Loughran, S. – RAND Corporation, 2004
RAND found that, for most military service members, college attendance is compatible with Reserve service. Many reservists successfully combine service with both civilian jobs and college, and use the educational benefits available to them. However, those who score the highest on the AFQT may want to pursue college more intensively than the…

Asch, Beth; Loughran, David – RAND Corporation, 2005
Rising college enrollment may put college attendance in direct competition with the reserve components. Individuals can easily join a reserve unit while attending college because reservists are generally only obligated to drill one weekend per month and two weeks during the summer. However, reserve participation entails an increasingly high risk…
