Notes: Standard errors in Column 5 are corrected for within-catchment area correlation in the error term (based on catchment areas as they are defined at the beginning of the sample, prior to any base closings) and are reported in parentheses. Pay-grade status is based on the officer/enlisted status of the household sponsor.
