AN EIGHT-YEAR FOLLOW-UP NROTC APPLICANTS' STATEMENTS OF CAREER INTENTIONS

Abstract

NROTC officers (N = 776) who had been asked in 1956, as NROTC applicants, to state their interest in a Navy career were followed up in 1964 to determine if the earlier statements were valid. Of those indicating positive career intent, 46 per cent were still on active duty six months after initial obligated service. Of those indicating negative motivation for a Naval career, only 37 per cent were still on active duty. Recommendations for using this information in future NROTC selection procedures are made.
