Abstract
The relationship between military service and post-service earnings of Vietnam veterans was analyzed using the 1976 data of the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Men (14 to 24 years of age in 1966). When earning attributes were examined, black Vietnam veterans entered the military from relatively socio-economically advantaged families while the reverse was true for white Vietname veterans. The Post-service earnings analysis of this sample of Vietnam veterans indicated the absence of positive effects of military service on subsequent civilian income. Additional analysis utilizing military service specific variables indicated that neither length of military training nor length of service in the military could be associated with positive post-service earnings returns for Vietnam veterans
