CAREER PLANNING, LESSONS LEARNED FROM MARINES WITH A BREAK IN SERVICE
October 1, 1977
This analysis is based on questionnaire responses of young Marines who served one enlistment, left the Marine Corps, and then reenlisted. These Marines who experienced a break in service offer a timely and objective view of civilian life which can be useful in counseling Marines eligible for reenlistment for the first time. This report allows the career planner to present his client experience-based data from junior Marines to complement other factual reenlistment information on benefits, options, and Marine Corps policy. The young Marine not inclined to accept reenlistment advice from a career Marine (career planner or commander) may accept the reported experience of his peer who recently tried civilian life and found the Marine Corps more desirable.

COMPARISONS OF MILITARY AND VETERAN COMPENSATION
March 1, 1977
This paper provides an empirical comparison of veteran earnings and military compensation. The 1969-1974 Regular Military Compensation (RMC) received by a cohort of enlisted men who entered service between 1963 and 1967 was estimated. These RMC figures were compared to the 1969-1974 covered Social Security earnings of a cohort of veterans who left service in FY 1969; nearly all of these veterans had also entered service between 1963 and 1967. Estimates of military-civilian pay ratios were made for various sub-groups categorized by education, mental ability, race, service, and military occupation. A separate but complementary analysis of the civilian sector payoff to military occupational training was also performed. The likelihood of veterans using that training in the civilian sector was examined along with the earnings effect due to use of such training.

THE FEASIBILITY OF A GEOGRAPHIC PAY SUPPLEMENT FOR CONUS MILITARY PERSONNEL
November 1, 1976
This report considers the feasibility and desirability of making adjustments to military pay to correct for regional variation in the cost of living in the Continental United States (CONUS). First, the adequacy of existing data bases for implementing a pay adjustment is assessed. Next, the feasibility of using cost-of-living indexes for specific items to correct for regional differences in overall living costs is explored. Then, 1975 housing expenditure data provided by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command is used to construct housing cost indexes for 118 CONUS military installations. Various ways of grouping CONUS installations for the purpose of implementing a variable housing allowance (VHA) are suggested and the costs of several alternative VHA plans are estimated. Finally, an evaluation of the arguments for and against a geographic pay adjustment is provided.
