Survey of Junior Officer Retention: 2. Why Some USNR Officers Leave the Navy and Some Stay

Abstract

The purpose of the Junior Officer Retention Survey was to assess the reasons why USNR officers request release from active duty at the end of their obligated service and why USNR officers request transfer to the regular Navy. Both the leavers and stayers were chiefly college graduates but a greater percentage of the leavers than the stayers had graduate education and degrees. A greater percentage of the stayers reported Navy training since commissioning, more sea duty, a greater amount of active duty, and a greater number of extensions. Recalled interest in a Navy career shows a progressive decline among the leavers and a progressive increase among the stayers.
