<p>This  thesis  investigates  the  behavior  of  Air  Force  enlisted  personnel  who  were  eligible  for  early  voluntary  separation  under  one  of  two  monetary  incentive  programs  during  FY92.  The  two  programs  were  the  VSI  (Voluntary  Separation  Incentive)  and  the  SSB  (Special  Separation  Bonus).  The  thesis  uses  data  provided  by  the  Defense  Manpower  Data  Center  on  eligible  enlisted  Air  Force  personnel  for  FY92.  The  objectives  of  the  thesis  are:  (1)  to  identify  the  factors  that  influence  the  voluntary  separation  decision;  (2)  to  identify  the  factors  that  influence  the  choice  decision  between  the  two  programs;  and  (3)  to  compare  FY92  Air  Force  results  in  this  thesis  with  FY92  Navy  results  to  determine  if  the  same  factors  are  consistent  for  both  branches.  Multivariate  logit  models  were  estimated  to  explain  the  decision  to  accept  a  voluntary  separation  incentive  and  the  decision,  among  acceptors,  of  which  program  to  accept.  Recommendations  regarding  future  implementation  of  the  separation  programs  and  for.  future  research  are provided.
