Adult Literacy and Basic Education, v12 n3 p142-50 1988
Army enlistees with General Educational Development (GED) certificates who completed military service (1,894) were compared with 2,085 GED enlistees who dropped out. Completers had higher GED scores and Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery subtest scores. It was recommended that GED scores be an integral part of recruitment screening and a permanent part of enlistee records. (SK)
