'NOT OFFICER MATERIAL' ATTRITION IN THE NAVAL AIR BASIC TRAINING COMMAND.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was (1) to analyze causes of attrition classified as 'not officer material' (NOM), (2) to determine if the present flight aptitude tests are predicting this type of attrition, and (3) to consider this NOM group as research criteria. The results of this research are as follows: (1) NOM cadets differ significantly from successful cadets on only one variable, pre-flight ground final grades, (2) none of the flight aptitude tests are predicting NOM attrition, (3) NOM attrition are the most heterogeneous of any attrition group studied and thus are questionable as homogeneous test research criteria.
