An Analysis of the Philippine Navy Reserve Officer Selection Program.

Abstract

The Philippine Navy officer corps is composed of regular officers and reserve officers on active duty. The selection of regular officers is not under naval control but that of reserve officers is. Recruitment is done by the use press releases and posters. Applicants who meet the requirements go through a selection procedure which consists of the following steps: application form, initial interview, GCT, IQ test, board interview, physical examination, and clearances from the National Bureau of Investigation and the Naval Intelligence Division. Those who pass all the steps are commissioned in the naval reserve. Each of the steps in the procedure, including recruitment, can be improved. The biographical inventory is the most appropriate for PN use from among current selection tools; an inventory can easily be developed for the PN. Sample questions for the inventory are presented.
