A DESCRIPTION OF DISQUALIFICATIONS OF ENLISTED APPLICANTS FOR SUBMARINE TRAINING

Abstract

A schematic diagram of the successive steps for selecting and training enlisted submarine men is presented. Personnel attrition at each successive step is treated briefly. The aim of the paper, however, is to present a general description of the personnel selection system. Statistics are tabulated to show the overall picture from the beginning of the war until the end of June, 1945. From the standpoint of relative numbers disqualified, medical selection seems to predominate over any other type. The greatest variation in attrition is at the preselection stage. Representative disqualification data for this level are presented for one large Naval Training Center.
