美国武装部队提供教育和培训福利作为对服役的激励。本研究探讨了身份配置对军队入伍的影响及其与更大教育机会的联系。三种身份（原籍社会经济地位、认知能力和学业成绩）与人生道路选择特别相关。我们假设，不一致的状态的年轻人更有可能比男性一致的状态配置文件，并提高了获得大学服兵役的某些配置。国家青少年健康纵向研究（Add Health）的分析显示（1。几种状态配置显着增加了军事入伍的可能性和（2）。在身份配置中，新兵通常比非退伍军人更有可能接受高等教育，获得副学士学位的可能性更大。
The U.S. Armed Forces offer educational and training benefits as incentives for service. This study investigates the influence of status configurations on military enlistment and their link to greater educational opportunity. Three statuses (socio economic status of origin, cognitive ability and academic performance) have particular relevance for life course options. We hypothesize that young men with inconsistent statuses are more likely to enlist than men with consistent status profiles, and that military service improves access to college for certain configurations. Analyses of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) show (1. that several status configurations markedly increased the likelihood of military enlistment and (2. within status configurations, recruits were generally more likely to enroll in higher education than nonveterans, with associate degrees being more likely.
