FOLLOW-UP COMPARISONS OF THREE-YEAR WITH FOUR-YEAR AND MINORITY ENLISTEES.
Abstract
Three-year enlistees were compared with four-year and minority enlistees, all three groups consisting of males who had enlisted in the Navy without prior military service between 1 January and 30 June 1962, and who were on active duty as of 30 June 1964. The men in the three samples were each eligible for assignment to at least one Class A school on the basis of prerequisite BTB scores, and the three samples were matched on general ability (GCT+ARI+MECH). Comparisons were made as of 30 June 1964--two to two and one-half years after initial enlistment--on: (1) Rates of initial assignments to six broad categories of Class A schools and no A school, (2) rates of initial assignments, among those assigned to Class A schools, to the aforementioned six categories of schools, (3) rate of enlistment extensions for Class A school assignment, (4) rate of reenlistment for assignment to the STAR Program, and (5) rate of advancement in pay grade. Certain of the findings indicate that three-year enlistees were trained somewhat differently than four-year and minority enlistees. (Author)
