Note. OEF = Operation Enduring Freedom. OIF = Operation Iraqi Freedom. SC Injury = Suffered a service-connected injury during deployment. Age and combat total were continuous variables. All other variables were dichotomous. Coding of dichotomous variables: Race (Non-White = 0, White = 1), Marital Status (Single/Divorced/Separated = 0, Married/Living Together = 1), Employment Status (Unemployed = 0, Employed = 1), SC Injury (No = 0, Yes = 1), Military Component (Reserves or National Guard = 0, Regular Active Duty = 1), Military Branch (Army = 0, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, or Air Force = 1), Rank (Enlisted = 0, Officer = 1), Multiple Deployments (No = 0, Yes = 1), MST (No = 0, Yes = 1).
