      Source:  Civilian data from Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey monthly files.  Civilian data prior to 1989 represent calendar year.
*  Affected by large number of unknowns in FYs 1973-1976.  Because most unknowns were in their first year of service, and unlikely to be married,
     
    they were coded as unmarried in calculating the percentage.
