Education. As shown in Table 5.12, 99
percent of FY 1998 Selected Reserve enlisted members have a high school diploma or alternative credential (Tiers 1 and 2), compared to 89 percent of the comparably aged civilian labor force. Comparing Table 5.6
(education levels of Selected Reserve accessions) with Table 5.12 suggests that a significant number of enlisted members gain college experience while in the Selected Reserve (5 percent of NPS accessions versus 20
percent of enlisted members).

Comparisons between FY 1998 data and previous years' data may show some large changes due to extensive updates and corrections made to the education data in October 1997.
