This edited volume provides a comprehensive and critical review of
what we know about military service and the life course, what we
don't know, and what we need to do to better understand the role of
military service in shaping people's lives. It demonstrates that
the military, like colleges and prisons, is a key social
institution that engages individuals in early adulthood and shapes
processes of cumulative (dis)advantage over the life course. The
chapters provide topical synthesizes of the vast but diffuse
research literatures on military service and the life course, while
the volume as a whole helps to set the agenda for the next
generation of data collection and scholarship. Chapter authors pay
particular attention to how the military has changed over time; how
experiences of military service vary across cohorts and persons
with different characteristics; how military service affects the
lives of service members' spouses, children, and families; and the
linkages between research and policy.
