Table 7.11 shows that 91 percent of FY 2000 USCG Reserve
accessions had earned high school diplomas compared with 91 percent active
Coast Guard NPS accessions and 89 percent of overall DoD Reserve accessions
(90 percent excluding GED+ participants). The USCG Reserve accessed fewer
individuals, proportionally, with GEDs and more individuals, proportionally,
with no credentials, than did the overall DoD. Relative to the comparable
civilian group, USCG Reserve enlisted accessions were more likely to have
high school credentials.
