Why Mid-Grade Surface Warfare Officers are Resigning from the Naval Service

Abstract

This thesis addresses the reasons for mid-grade (0-2 to 0-4) Surface Warfare officer resignations. It makes recommendations that would possibly increase retention for the mid-grade Surface Warfare Officer Community. Statistical analyses were performed upon data from post-resignation questionnaires. A list of the ten most reported reasons for resigning was then compiled. A series of recommendations which might have a positive effect upon retention were then derived.
