The 1985 Army Experience Survey: Tabular Descriptions of First-Term Attritees. Volume 1
Abstract
This document is one of a series of ten reports (Technical Report, Research Nite, and Research Products), which provide background information on, descriptions of methodology for, and documentation of, the 1985 Army Experience Survey (AES). This is Volume I of a two-volume set of crosstables describing first-term attritees from the U.S. Army. Tabulation volumes contain: an introduction to the AES report series; sections overviewing the project and methodology; and a chapter explaining how to read and interpret the tabulations. This text is supplemented by technical appendized containing an annotated copy of the mail version of the AES instrument (Appendix A); the telephone version of the AES instrument (Appendix B); and coding schemes used to categorize responses to open-ended questions (Appendix C). The other major component of the tabulation volume is comprised of two-way tables of survey variables crossed with five banner variables. Volume I presents tables of selected survey items for first-term attritees with the following five banner variables: respondent gender, race, AFQT category, time since separating, and term of first enlistment. Volume II contains tables with five different banner variables: respondents' current residence (recruiting brigade), pre-Army education level, marital status at Army separation, military skill groupings, and perceived value of Army experience. Companion volumes are also available for three other separation groups, i.e., first-term separatees, mide-career spearatees, and enlisted retirees. Keywords: Veteran attitudes.
