Military Personnel : Financial Costs and Loss of Critical Skills Due to Dod's Homosexual Conduct Policy Cannot be Completely Estimated

From the passage of the homosexual conduct policy statute, in FY1994, through FY2003 the military separated about 9,500 servicemembers (SM) for homosexual conduct. This represents about .4% of the members separated for all reasons during this period. There is concern about the separation of SM with critical occup. or important foreign lang. skills in, for ex., Arabic. This report determines: the mil. services' annual financial costs from FY1994 to FY2003 for certain activities assoc. with admin. DoD's policy on homosexual conduc -- e.g., the recruit. & train. of SM to replace those separated under the homosexual conduct statute; -- & the extent to which the policy has resulted in the separation of SM with critical occup. & import. foreign lang. skills.
