Linear regression models. Errors clustered at the base level. Individual and family characteristics tested include age, gender, health variables (whether hospitalized, hospitalized in MTF, hospitalized in MTF for respiratory condition), father/sponsor’s controls (number of months since last enlistment, total active months in the military, age, white, college degree, number of dependents, enlisted in the last five years), and mother’s health (whether hospitalized, hospitalized in MTF, hospitalized for pregnancy-related). The table tests whether all the individual and family explanatory variables (with the exception of the rank*occupation*year interactions) are jointly significant using an F-test.
