EVALUATION OF U. S. NAVAL ACADEMY MIDSHIPMEN CRUISES, 1961

Abstract

On the basis of a questionnaire administered to the midshipmen at the beginning and again at the end of their cruises it was shown that: (1) the students' knowledge about and interest in aviation increased; (2) there was a significant increase after the cruise in the number who planned to enter aviation after graduation; (3) a strong desire to fly was the principal reason for entering aviation while not-physically-qualified and going-subs were the main reasons for not choosing aviation; and (4) about 93% of the students expressed favorable attitudes toward the cruise experience itself. The findings were favorable and support the continuance of the cruises. (Author)
