71名海军母亲接受了采访，并完成了标准化的问卷调查之前和之后的预定部署，83名海军母亲分配到海岸责任作为对照。两组之间重新入伍的总体意图没有差异。经历过部署的女性比非部署对照组的女性更有可能报告对海军职业生涯的承诺，作为计划留在海军的原因。然而，对照组中的女性更经常报告对海军的不满是计划离开军队的原因。在这两个群体中的妇女不太可能报告承诺海军职业生涯作为重新入伍的意图在初始和最终评估之间的时间的理由。对海军事业的承诺，对福利的满意度，以及工作日离职可能有利于儿童的看法，在最初的评估中预测了重新入伍的意图。另一方面，对海军的不满，对平衡海军职业与家庭责任的担忧，以及对母亲角色的更高承诺，预测了离开军队的意图。在最终评估中，重新入伍意图的重要预测因素是第一次重新入伍意图，对海军职业生涯的承诺，对福利的满意度，工作家庭问题以及对军队的不满。
Seventy-one Navy mothers were interviewed and completed standardized questionnaires before and after a scheduled deployment; 83 Navy mothers assigned to shore duty served as controls. Overall intentions to reenlist did not differ between the 2 groups. Women who experienced deployment were more likely than women in the nondeploying control group to report commitment to a Navy career as a reason for planning to stay in the Navy. Women in the control group, however, more often reported dissatisfaction with the Navy as a reason for planning to leave the military. Women in both groups were less likely to report commitment to a Navy career as a rationale for reenlistment intentions in the time between the initial and final assessment. Commitment to a Navy career, satisfaction with benefits, and a perception that workday separations may benefit children predicted intentions to reenlist at the initial assessment. On the other hand, dissatisfaction with the Navy, concerns about balancing a Navy career with family responsibilities, and higher commitment to the motherhood role predicted intentions to leave the military. Significant predictors of reenlistment intentions at the final assessment were Time 1 reenlistment intentions, commitment to a Navy career, satisfaction with benefits, work-family concerns, and dissatisfaction with the military.
