Chances of Surviving the First Year of Service: A New Technique for Use in Making Recruiting Policy and Screening Applicants for the Navy

Abstract

Recruits who joined the Navy during the first year of the all volunteer force were tracked through their first year of service. Background and selection test data were related to premature discharges from this cohort, and a table showing estimated chances of surviving the first year of service was produced. The table can be used for planning recruiting policy and screening applicants for enlistment.
