REASONS FOR VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM NAVAL AVIATION TRAINING,

Abstract

With minor exceptions the findings were similar to earlier studies of this type. It was demon strated that most students dropped because of negative attitudes toward flying, which ranged from dislike to disabling tension. The commis sioned students reported significantly fewer nonflying causes than did cadets. With respect to pressure from wives, dissatisfaction with instructors, or dissatisfaction with pipeline assignment, these were mentioned by a negligible number of students. Significantly more DOR's, however, had had a year or more of active duty before reporting to Pensacola than did the trainee population as a whole. ''Poor perform ance'' and ''change in career interests'' were the main reasons for dropping given by the non pilot naval aviation officer trainees. (Author)
