This survey will gather data from two
groups of military personnel: 1) those completing a financial
education course as part of their basic training, and 2) those not
completing a financial education course. Data from the survey will
help determine the effectiveness of financial education for young
adults in the military and the durability of the effects as
measured by financial status of those receiving financial education
early in their military careers.
