Abstract
Data was collected from a sample of 49 active U. S. Navy Recruiters
assigned within the San Francisco Recruiting District, using survey interviews
to identify attributes of effective recruiters.
Analysis of the data revealed that the most favorable aspect of a
recruiting assignment was independent duty. The least desired aspect was
public speaking. Over one-third of the recruiters felt their particular
stations were overmanned while an equal number considered the station work
goals to be too high. Recruiters' images varied widely and revealed diverse
grooming interpretations. Hair styles and uniform-of-the-day inconsistencies
were magnified by one-fourth of the recruiters being overweight. Only 18%
of the respondents considered the recently proposed recruiter special duty
assignment pay to be an "incentive" necessary to increase their effectiveness. This report summarizes questionnaire responses, recommends consideration
of changes in existing Recruiting Command policy and suggests areas
of future research.
