A Study of the 1970 Administrative Reduction of Student Naval Aviators

Abstract

In August, 1970, adjustments in naval aviator manpower requirements led to an unprecedented release of student naval aviators. A representative sample of these student aviators was surveyed for the purpose of assessing attitudes, reactions, and impact upon morale of the forced release. Results indicate considerable disappointment and dissatisfaction as well as a possible unfavorable influence upon recruitment. Comparisons were made between reinstated and non-reinstated students for statistically significant differences.
