Analysis of Company Officer Influence on Midshipmen Service Assignment

Abstract

This thesis explores the influence of Company Officers on Midshipman service selection desires at the United States Naval Academy. This study looks at midshipman attraction to specific warfare communities through exposure to officers from each community. Four year groups from the Naval Academy were quantitatively analyzed to investigate the impact of the Company Officer upon midshipman service selection and to explore whether an individual is more likely to service select a warfare community that he/she is most exposed to by Company Officers while at the Naval Academy. Additionally, the Leadership, Education and Development (LEAD) Program was looked at to explore whether the Company Officers who graduated from the program were more likely than non-LEAD graduate Company Officers, to attract midshipmen to their respective warfare communities.
