A Study of Surface Warfare Junior Officer Retention.

Abstract

The retention of naval officers is often assumed to be independent of the economic circumstances of the individual. This study makes use of classical, normal linear least squares regression techniques and recent surface warfare officer retention data in an attempt to determine whether the retention of lieutenants can be related to a set of economic control variables. In the pursuit of that goal, several previously developed econometric models which describe first-term enlisted retention are modified for use on officer data and compared for goodness of fit.
