Abstract

This report presents results of a portion of a cohort attrition research project conducted at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego. The major finding was the large differences among training units in their attrition rates. There was no evidence that these differences were due to different performance levels among training units. The implications of the findings for the analysis of organizational variables is discussed.
