Abstract
Declining pools of service-eligible men and increasing demands
upon military manpower nave forced the armed services to consider expanding
the role of military women. The success or failure of increased
utilization can only be determined through an assessment of actual data.
Without such information, policy becomes arbitrary and successful gender
integration less likely. Using the Survival Tracking File (longitudinal)
as a primary source of data, the Total Population of Navy enlisted
females, both Attrites and those on active duty (beginning fourth quarter
FY 1977 and ending third quarter FY 1981), were examined to identify
emerging trends. Frequency distributions and regression analyses
revealed certain trends which warrant further investigation. The E-l
attrition rates in boot camp would suggest a need for oetter screening of
applicants, and the major contribution of General Detail personnel to
overall losses suggests further investigation of in-service working
conditions and jobs as predictors of attrition.
