This thesis presents an interview-based study that seeks to map the various reasonings regarding what motivates aspiring officers, cadets, to end their military service in liaison to studies conducted at the Swedish defense college. This in order to provide a brief overview of the, seeming major, causes as to why some cadets chose to end their affiliation to the military context. This study utilizes Fabrizio Battistelli’s and Martin V. Covington’s respective theories regarding motivation. These theories provide the structure and serves as main focal points when constructing and conducting the interviews. The findings in the paper suggests multiple motivational factors as to why the cadets, enrolled in this essay, chose to quit the military context. The most prominent thematic is closely affiliated with the individual’s intrinsic interest and desire for more reliable control over his, or her, time. It is also clear that the respondents deem the military’s personnel policy to be severely lacking in many different aspects which in turn results in an external factor that further motivates the individual to seek a career outside of the military context.

This dissertation is on the history of the development of schooling in Alleghany County, and the cities of Clifton Forge and Covington, Virginia. Studying the past can provide a clearer perspective of the present and suggest courses for the future. Rather than focus on a topic as broad as education, this paper concentrates on the principal method used by government to educate its citizens; schools. In relating the events affecting school development in this area, actions by local, state, and federal governments, as well as the influences of individuals and events, are studied and discussed. The efforts of education associations, societies, and philanthropic institutions are included where they had a direct bearing on local educational policies and practices. Secondary sources provide most of the historical information about trends in education and schooling on a state and national level. Primary documents and sources provide the specifics relating to this locality. Reports of school commissioners and government officials and records of school boards provide much of the information as well as newspapers of the period. Personal letters and interviews also provide a perspective on the topic. The purpose of the dissertation is to document one aspect of local heritage, the development of schooling, and preserve various facts of history in a readable form. There is also a desire to focus attention on education and the local public schools in the hopes that both awareness and support will increase, thus leading to a system of schools that are not only adequate but exemplary in all respects. The contribution of this study to the field of education in general and school administration in particular is a more in-depth understanding of schools and their development. / Ed. D.
