Abstract

Current manpower capacity issues are soon to exacerbate a looming retention issue among aviators and, despite ongoing fiscal constraints, the Marine Corps should consider monetarily incentivizing the retention of the highest quality aviators regardless of T/M/S. Moreover, the additional/collateral duties assigned outside of Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) should be reduced as they hinder aviators' ability to focus on their tradecraft and ultimately sap holistic readiness.
