- Family separations can cause strain in military families and may influence Service members' decision to reenlist or leave the military. A large 1999 Active Duty survey was used to examine the associations between family separations, demographic information, resources, and Service members' intent to leave the military. Service members who had experienced longer family separations had higher intent to leave the military, and this relationship was stronger for minority Service members or those who were dissatisfied with their resources.
