Abstract

This study is the second of an annual series which surveys the propensity of Non-Prior Service individuals (NPS) and Veterans to enlist in the National Guard and Reserve. Data were collected during the Fall of 1979 from 2,473 NPS males and females (ages 17 1/2 to 26) and 1.941 male and female veterans (1st term, eligible for re-enlistment). This study includes examination of the following issues: (1) Current propensity to enlist, and changes in propensity over time, (2) Demographic and attitudinal factors that influence propensity to enlist in the various samples, (3) Responsiveness to potential enlistment incentives, (4) Attitudes toward peacetime draft registration, and (5) Comparison of the propensity data before and after the taking of American hostages in Iran.
