2.	Military Service and Alcohol Use Presented: Boston MA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, May 2014 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Gender Differences; Military Service; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Veterans Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. It is well known that enlistees and veterans are more likely to use alcohol than civilians. However, most of this research is potentially biased in that it often does not employ control variables and is based on cross-sectional data. Much of this research also fails to consider the relationship between military service and alcohol use among women. Using longitudinal data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Study of Youth, we investigate the relationship between military service and alcohol use using a fixed-effects approach. We find that military service appears to encourage young men to consume alcohol. Also, the effect of military service is not limited to the time that men spend in the military in that male veterans are also more likely to consume alcohol than are comparable civilians. We find, however, that women who serve, both enlistees and veterans, are less likely to drink than their civilian counterparts.

It is well known that enlistees and veterans in the United States are more likely to use alcohol than civilians. However, most of this research is potentially biased in that it often does not employ control variables (other than age) and is based on cross-sectional data. Much of this research also fails to consider the relationship between military service and alcohol use among women. Using longitudinal data taken from the 1997 National Longitudinal Study of Youth, we investigate the relationship between military service and alcohol consumption employing a fixed-effects approach. We find that military service appears to encourage young men to consume alcohol. It is also the case that the effect of military service is not limited to the time that men spend in the military given that male veterans are also more likely to consume alcohol than are comparable nonveterans. We find, however, that women who serve, both enlistees and veterans, are less likely to drink than their civilian counterparts.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X16301661 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Arrests; Criminal Justice System; Life Course; Military Service Using data taken from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we examine the relationship between military service and contact with the criminal justice system. Drawing on the life course concept of a turning point, we show that military service does little to affect the risk of being arrested or being convicted of crimes involving violence or destructive behavior, while at the same time significantly reducing the risk of being arrested or being convicted of non-violent crimes. We find no evidence that service in a combat zone alters these relationships. Our results demonstrate how participation in a large-scale institution can serve as a turning point, altering the life course trajectories of young persons.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X14000039 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Delinquency/Gang Activity; Military Enlistment; Transition, Adulthood Using data taken from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth we examine the relationship between delinquency and enlistment in the military. We argue that delinquent behavior is positively related to enlistment because military service is an attractive alternative for delinquents to mark their transition to adulthood and their desistance from delinquent behavior. We also argue, however, that this relationship is not linear, with higher levels of delinquent behavior actually acting to reduce the likelihood of enlistment. We further suggest that the relationship between delinquency and enlistment is similar for men and women. We test and find support for our hypotheses using data taken from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.

Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2008.00544.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Divorce; Military Enlistment; Military Service; Racial Differences Several researchers have suggested that the persistently higher rate of divorce among Blacks may be due to hard-to-measure concepts such as culture or norms. To attack this problem, we use data from the NLSY-79 to examine the risk of divorce among enlisted active-duty military servicemen where economic differences and the negative effects of discrimination are minimized. Our results indicate that military service reduces the likelihood of marital dissolution among Blacks serving in the Army and that this finding is not likely the result of unobserved selectivity. We attribute the latter finding to the fact that the Army has a well-defined career ladder for Blacks that fully integrates them into leadership positions providing role models and positive work environments that reduce stress associated with discrimination and promote stable marriages.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X07000178 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Education; Income; Military Service; Racial Differences Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, we examine the long-term implications of military service for men’s income. We show strong variations in the effect of military service according to race and education. We do so while considering the effect of military service on the income trajectories of men and including a series of controls for selectivity. We find that while serving in the military, young men from disadvantaged backgrounds earn more than their civilian counterparts. Upon discharge, however, the income premium associated with military service tends to dissipate, and for White veterans with at least a high school degree, an income deficit results.

8.	Veteran Status and Body Weight: A Longitudinal Fixed-Effects Approach Population Research and Policy Review 32, 2 (April 2013): 199-220. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11113-012-9262-5 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Body Mass Index (BMI); Life Course; Military Service; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Obesity; Veterans; Weight Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. About 10–12 % of young men (and increasingly, women) have served a term in the military. Yet, we know relatively little about the consequences of military service for the lives of those who serve. In this article, we provide estimates of the relationship between men’s peacetime military service during the all-volunteer era (AVE) and body weight using longitudinal data on 6,304 men taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of 1979 (NLSY-79). Using fixed-effects estimators on up to 13 years of data and numerous controls for time-varying life-course characteristics linked to body weight, we find that veterans of active-duty military service have higher levels of BMI and obesity. We argue that eating habits learned during service, coupled with patterns of physical activity, lead to a situation whereby veterans making the transition to less active civilian lifestyles gain weight that is not lost over time.

9.	Wages, Earnings, And Occupational Status: Did World War II Veterans Receive A Premium? Social Science Research 33,4 (December 2004): 581-605. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X03000838 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Human Capital Theory; Income Level; Life Course; Military Service; Occupational Attainment; Racial Studies; Veterans Over 16 million men served during World War II (WWII), and we know that veterans obtained more education and earned higher incomes than did non-veterans and that these premiums were more substantial for Blacks and less educated men. However, we know very little about the reasons for such veteran premiums. Using several distinct, yet connected, theoretical traditions that have been used to link military service to subsequent outcomes--theories of the life course, the status attainment perspective, relatively new conceptualizations of social capital, economic theories of human capital, and theories of selectivity--we seek to redress this lack of understanding. We use survey data from the National Longitudinal Study of Mature Men (NLSMM) to examine the long-term effects of military service during WWII on occupational and income attainments. We find that the effects associated with being a veteran of WWII are modest and are mostly limited to less advantaged veterans, and can be largely explained by differences in human capital investment or selectivity. The one finding that cannot be explained by differences in family background, human capital investments, and selectivity is a higher hourly wage rate associated with being a Black veteran.

10.	The Relationship between Military Service and Childbearing for Men and Women Sociological Perspectives 58,4 (December 2015): 595-608. Also: http://spx.sagepub.com/content/58/4/595.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Pacific Sociological Association Keyword(s): Childbearing; Fertility; Gender Differences; Military Service; Modeling, Fixed Effects Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data taken from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY-97), we examine the relationship between military service and childbearing for both men and women. Using a fixed-effects procedure on longitudinal data, we find that military service reduces the fertility of male and female recruits. The negative effect of military service is much larger for women than for men. In addition, the negative effects of military service on childbearing persist after service members leave the military, although the effects diminish over time. Overall, even though military service may not lead to lower completed fertility, the evidence suggests a delaying effect on childbearing.

11.	Social Disengagement and Military Enlistment: A Discrete-Time Event History Analysis Using the NLSY97 Presented: New Orleans LA, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Delinquency/Gang Activity; Life Course; Military Enlistment; Military Service; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Substance Use; Veterans Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research suggests that being in the military leads veterans to engage in violent behavior. This research usually compares veterans to non-veterans, ignoring the possibility that people engaging in the troubled or violent behaviors may be more likely to enlist. The analysis presented in this paper improves upon previous research by employing a cumulative number of household moves experienced by the respondent, a comprehensive delinquency index and an index of substance use to assess the effect of social disengagement on enlistment for both males and females using the data available from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Another improvement over previous research is the use of a discrete time event history model of the time to enlistment that enables inclusion of numerous time-varying variables. Both the delinquency index and the cumulative number of moves are significantly related to military enlistment. The substance use index was not related to enlistment.

12.	The Relationship Between Veteran Status and Smoking Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Annual Meetings, March 31-April 2, 2011. Also: http://paa2011.princeton.edu/mobile/abstractViewer.aspx?submissionId=112314 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Veterans Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. About 10-12% of young men have served a term in the military. However, we know rather little about the consequences of military service for the lives of those who serve. In this paper, we provide estimates of the relationship between peacetime military service during the All-volunteer Era (AVE) and smoking behaviors using data taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of 1979 (NLSY-79). Ever smoking and continued smoking by veterans are strongly related to multiple dimensions of poor health (Bondurant and Wedge 2009; Cornfield, Haenszel, Hammond, Lilienfeld, Shimkin and Wynder 2009; Wynder 1988). Using multivariate logistic regression with numerous controls for selectivity into the military, we find that veterans of active-duty military service are similar to veterans of reserve duty on ever having smoked and that veterans of active duty military service are less likely to stop smoking. Both social and institutional influences are offered as potential reasons for the differences.
