First-Term Survival and Reenlistment Chances for Navy Ratings and a Strategy for Their Use.

Abstract

First-term retention rates of CY 1973 regular Navy recruits are estimated by rating. The effects of given pre-service and early in-service factors on retention often differ substantially across the ratings. Very little unavoidable conflict exists between the characteristics most favorable to first-term survival and those most favorable to reenlistment. Consequently, the results can be exploited in a rating assignment procedure to improve enlisted retention. (Author)
