Abstract
The success of any military organization in accomÂplishing its mission depends largely
on the quality of the personnel who constitute the organization. The National Longitudinal
survey (NLS) and the "Profile of American Youth" (1980 Nationwide Administration of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) offer a wealth of information on the behavior
and characteristics of a nationally representative sample of young men and women. This thesis has developed a data base extract designed primarily for analysts seeking to obtain insights on the current and projected "quality" of military personnel. Instructions for using the data base extract are provided, along with a brief description of the survey and the computer program (SPSS) and a selected group of frequency distributions from the extract.
