This Statistics in Brief examines military service among 2002 high school sophomores and the postsecondary enrollment outcomes of those who had served in the military as of 2012, some 8 years after most completed high school in 2004. This cohort had just begun 10th grade when the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, occurred. As of 2012, some 6 percent of 2002 high school sophomores had entered the military (Chen et al. 2017). This report examines the characteristics of these students and the timing of their military service, compares their postsecondary experiences with those of their contemporaries who did not serve, and looks at how they financed their postsecondary education.
