Enlistment Standards as Applied to the Navy Selection Process with Reference to the Signalman and Radioman Ratings

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to develop manpower selection models to improve the Navy's system of assigning personnel to the Signalman (SM) and Radioman (RM) ratings. Four multivariate models using 'success' and 'failure' as criterion variables were developed. The criterion was comprised of: months of total active federal military service (TAFMS1), achieved E-4 (ACHVDE4), and recommended for re-enlistment (ELIGREUP). Predictor variables were derived from personal biographical and aptitude data available at enlistment. Of the models developed, one was designed for application to the entire Signalman rating, another for the entire Radioman rating. The third model was for application to the white male segment of the Signalman rating; the fourth, to the white male segment of the Radioman rating. Additionally, the study highlights the link with current selection procedures and characteristics and their possible effect on manpower modeling. Keywords include: Enlistment standards and criteria.
