An Analysis of Navy Enlisted Tour Lengths

Abstract

The Navy experiences a substantial amount of turnover among enlisted personnel. Some of this is unplanned (precontract attrition), but much of the turnover is the result of rotation or losses upon the completion of an enlistment contract. This research memorandum summarizes information on the actual length of completed tours for a sample of more than 10,000 tours completed in 1985 and 1986. Keywords: Attrition, Billets (personnel), Enlisted personnel, Naval personnel, Personnel retention, Rotation, Statistical analysis, Statistical distribution.
