Marital
Status
Approximately
10 percent of FY 2000 Selected Reserve NPS enlisted accessions were married
(Table 5.5). The marriage rates of prior service recruits look markedly
different, with 43 percent married. The FY 2000 prior service cohort,
predominantly those leaving active duty enlisted service who chose to
affiliate with the Reserves, were less likely to be married than active
duty enlisted members (50 percent). Also, prior service Reserve recruits
were less likely to be married than their civilian counterparts, 20- to
39-year-old civilians in the labor force (50 percent). Among FY 2000 prior
service Reserve accessions, a somewhat larger proportion of males were
married than females, consistent with the trend in the 20- to 39-year-old
civilian population. There were practically no marital status differences
by gender for FY 2000 NPS Reserve accessions.
