Summary "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."--Provided by publisher
