Abstract

A year long survey was conducted at a sample of Armed Forces Entrance and Examining Stations to ascertain enlistment motivation of individuals entering military service. During the survey period of April 1971 to April 1972 there was a decline in draft motivated enlistments with learning skill or trade and the opportunity for advanced education as the most desirable motivators. The survey also showed the importance of family, friends, recruiter on determining in which service a man enlists.
