Identifying Successful Marine Corps Recruits Revision

Abstract

After briefly reviewing trends in Marine Corps first-term attrition, the paper analyzes recruit background characteristics and Marine Corps environment variables associated with successful adaptation to Marine Corps life. Three measures of success are examined: completion of the first term of service, completion of the first term of service at the rank of corporal, and retention beyond the initial service obligation.
