Prior-Service Reserve Affiliation and Continuation Behavior: Volume 2– Continuation
July 31, 2012
In this paper, we examine the continuation behavior of prior-service (PS) Marines in the Marine Corps Selected Reserve (SelRes). We use Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) data on Marine officers and enlisted Marines who left active duty and affiliated with the SelRes between October 2001 and April 2011 to look at how long Marines tend to affiliate with the SelRes and which Marines are most likely to leave the SelRes at any given point in their SelRes careers. We estimate the effects of Marine characteristics and service history (active duty and reserve) on PS Marines’ decisions to leave the SelRes separately for never-activated and activated Marines.
