The study vonian in non traditional occupy ions Choice and turnover said 34 percent of Mili tary women worked in jabs thai were less than 10 percent female nationally. Only 3 percent of women in civilian  worked in Ihasz mostly male occupation the study found. Sue Berry rom and Linda a nit authors of the study found no basis for the services concern that military women have a higher turnover rate than men. Tic study showed that the turnover rate for military women is less than half that of their civilian counterparts in j year s Lime More than one out of every two women exited from civilian jobs Berr Mait said for the same Lime period Only one out of every five Mili tary women exiled. Clearly the military s selection training service contract and other human resource policies arc relatively successful in controlling turnover of  the study also disputed the idea thai military women in non traditional female jobs such As Mechanic truck Driver and Engineer have a higher turnover Rule than women in traditional female jobs such As Secretary and nurse.

The critics of using women in combat have some Points in their Fauvor and the women s groups who arc very much in favor of using women in combat have some Points in i hair favor. There s a Tot of speculation but we just Don t have any experience with  Berryman and Wail Luo cd at the military As tin employer primarily because the services traditionally have helped integrate less enfranchised groups such As recent immigrants and Blacks into economic social and political mainstreams.
