Initial Billet Assignments and the Performance of Naval Officers
Abstract
This thesis attempts to determine if there is a relationship between initial ship type, initial billet assignment, the number of surface qualifications earned and career progress for surface warfare officers. The data used in this thesis were taken from the Officer Master-Loss Record File (maintained at the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center, Monterey, California) and the Officer Promotion History Data Files collected by the Department of Navy for all officers, both active and reserve duty. Information was examined on surface warfare officers whose records appeared before lieutenant commander selection boards, as extracted from both sets of files, on both those who stayed on active duty and those who left. The Officer Master-Loss Record file was derived for those officers who were commissioned between 1 January 1976 and 31 December 1982. The Officer Promotion History Data Files, (Background and Experience files), were achieved beginning 1981 through 1986 for applicable surface warfare officers.
