Education
As shown in Table 5.12, 96 percent of FY 2001 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 22 percent of enlisted
members).
