Marital Status.  In FY 1997, the proportion of Selected Reserve officer accessions and officers who were married was higher than for enlisted members (Table 6.4).  As in the Active Components, more males were married than females.  As detailed in Appendix Table C-26, the proportion of married male Selected Reserve officers (77 percent) is larger than the proportion of the male civilian college graduate labor force who are married (71 percent).  However, the proportion of married female Selected Reserve officers (56 percent) is lower than for their comparable female civilian college graduate labor force who are married (62 percent).
