A Rating Assignment Procedure to Increase First-Term Retention,

Abstract

Recruits who are 17 years old, or have fewer than 12 years of education, or did not participate in the Delayed Entry Program, and show no preference among A-school assignments can be assigned to A-schools in 60 ratings in a way that will increase their chances of completing the first term of service. The stability of these assignment guides is demonstrated across three recruit cohorts. The procedure can be incorporated easily and inexpensively into the Navy's rating assignment procedure.
