Abstract
As a part of a systematic study of the enlistment motivation and attitudes toward employment and education held by American youth, two nationwide samples of male civilians, 16 to 21 years old, were surveyed by personal interviews to compare and contrast the reactions of youth to key topics and programs of military service in May 1971 and November 1971. Both surveys indicated that the most important occupational goals for youth were pay and secure/steady employment. Also there was an overwhelming endorsement of the all-volunteer military service in both surveys. The results presented regarding service preference; enlistment incentives; military potential; and exposure to the military.
