VISUAL REQUIREMENT FAILURE BY CANDIDATES REPORTING FOR BASIC SUBMARINE TRAINING DURING 1965.

Abstract

The number of non-physically qualified officers and enlisted men receiving orders for basic submarine training continues to be a serious problem. During 1965, fourteen per cent of all reporting candidates failed to pass the physical examination. More than one third of this number failed the visual test. This was in spite of a modified visual standard, effective during all of 1965, which passed forty-four candidates who would formerly have failed. (Author)
