It also provides information on the media habits of a sample of buyers of Army advertising that might be compared to the media habits of the general youth market. The comparison might also be useful in determining Army advertising strategies and policies. This report covers 4 years of data from the New Recruit Survey that focuses on recruits' media habits.

Keywords: Media habits, Magazines, Television, Advertising, Radio, U.S. Army recruits. (sdw)
