Abstract: Since 2021, NMFA has surveyed military-connected teens to better understand their experience. Now in its fourth year, the 2024 Military Teen Experience Survey (MTES) is released in partnership with Leidos. Thousands of military teens have participated each year, shining light on critical issues such as mental health, food insecurity, employment today, and their outlook on future military service. The 2024 results offer a powerful window into the lives of military teens, revealing both the immense challenges they face and the ways they try to overcome them.
