This thesis investigates some of the issues associated with single and dual-service parents in the Navy and the ability of the Navy to manage these individuals. Information from two surveys of active-duty Navy personnel, statistics from the Defense Manpower
Data Center, and data from the Office of the Chief of Naval
Operations (OP-13W) were obtained to meet the objectives of the
thesis. This research determined that single and dual-service
parents account for a relatively small proportion (8 percent) of
the Navy's total force. The problems associated with these
individuals appear minor and manageable. In addition, their
productivity level is generally no different from that of other
service members. The Navy has a policy governing the dependent
care responsibilities of single and dual-service parents that
proved to be effective during the Persian Gulf War. However, a
slight modification of the policy may be required to ensure
continuous readiness.
