New recruits in the U.S. military are getting slightly older with more than half of Army 1）enlistees age 20 or above compared with a few decades ago， when only a third were in the older age group， according to a 2）Rand Corporation study released Wednesday. “The trend is a 3）boon for the military because older recruits have a greater tendency to re-enlist and achieve promotions at higher rates than those who join out of high school，”the report says. Many told researchers they delayed signing up for the military in order to attend college. Some 38% said they simply wanted to take some time off after high school. About a third of older recruits said they ultimately chose the military because of a weak civilian job market. Half said the market offered nothing but dead-end jobs.
美军新兵出现了轻微的大龄化趋势。兰德公司在本周三（4月23日）发布的一份研究报告中指出，过半数美军应征者的年龄在20岁或以上——而在数十年前，大龄士兵的比例仅为三分之一。报告中还称：“这个趋势对军队来说是件好事，因为和那些高中毕业就参军的士兵相比，大龄新兵更有可能延长服役时间，并且有更多人获得晋升。”许多受访者对研究人员表示，他们推迟报名参军是为了上大学；有38%的人表示他们只是想在高中毕业后休息一段时间；近三分之一的大龄新兵说，他们最终选择了入伍是因为民间就业市场的不景气；一半人认为市场上提供的工作都没有发展前途。
