Determining the Relationship Between Moral Waivers and Marine Corps Unsuitability Attrition

Abstract

This research examines the effect of moral waivers on the probability of unsatisfactory service separation in the Marine Corps. The primary focus of this study is to determine whether recruits who require one or more moral waivers are significantly more likely to attrite. The secondary purpose of this study is to investigate whether a certain combination of factors or demographic characteristics exacerbate the effect of moral waivers. This thesis used Total Force Data Warehouse cohort files from fiscal years 1997 to 2005. Multivariate probit models were used to analyze the effects of moral waivers on unsatisfactory service separations.
