Abstract
This thesis investigates the military affiliation intentions of enlisted personnel in all four branches of service in their first or second term with less than a year remaining of their present
active duty obligation. The investigation is done in two sequences 1) reenlist/does not reenlist ("stayers" vs "leavers"), and for those who plan to leave 2) join the reserves/do not join the reserves ("reservists" vs "civilians"), using the demographic, tenure, cognitive/affective, economic, and employment alternative variables as explaining factors. The analysis is done by using the Probit probability model
which calculates the probabilities of each individual to reenlist/join the reserves, given
specific characteristics. The results show that the explanatory effect using the groups of
variables mentioned above, is higher for the reenlistment decisions than for the reserves
decisions.
