Trends in the Training Recruits Receive Before their First Fleet Assignments

Abstract

N14 asked CNA to examine recent trends in the training of recruits before their first fleet assignments. To study the efficiency of the training pipeline, we follow the flow of Sailors to the fleet between FY95 and FY09 as it is affected by length of time spent in bootcamp and training. Specifically, we examine two major issues. The first is the time that it takes recruits to reach their first fleet assignments. This includes both looking at the trends in the length of time to the fleet over the last 14 years and investigating how the time to the fleet is spent. The second issue we address is pre-fleet attrition. We review the trends and timing data for patterns that provide useful insights.
