CIVINS / The research literature suggests that GPA, along with previously taken college courses, is a better predictor of success of student graduation than any simple measure. The purpose of this casual comparative study was to investigate whether students with prior college experience selecting a military career were better prepared for challenges in military schools than those students who have had no previous college experience. The research was conducted at the Naval School of Health Sciences in San Diego, California, located on the grounds of Naval Medical Center San Diego, California from May 2004 to August 2005. The questionnaire required students to indicate their responses to three questions. Each student (N=50) from two different classes was administered the questionnaire. The return rate was 100%. The study found that there was no difference in grade point average (GPA) of military students with and without prior college experience who were enrolled in the Navy's Medical Laboratory Technician program from May 2004 to August 2005. It was concluded that Navy's policy on requiring students to have certain college prerequisites may not necessarily impact their success in the MLT program. / CIVINS / US Navy (USN) author

This research examines how the Targeted Separation Incentive Program, currently underway by the Navy, is being administered to bring about the voluntary separations of junior officers to meet the requirements of the Navyâ s most recent force reduction. This study evaluates the effects of past separation incentive programs as well as the current compensation package that the service-member may receive which is outlined in the Fiscal Year 2006 National Defense Authorization Act. In addition, an analysis was conducted of the costs associated with retaining the service-member versus the personal costs of that individual of leaving. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the Department of the Navyâ s (DoN) Targeted Separation Incentive Program in order to see if this program can adequately meet the goals of the current force reduction and whether or not savings can be realized through alternative separation programs.

This study evaluates demographic and attitudinal characteristics that explain variations in perceived financial condition (PFC) of Navy enlisted personnel using data from the 1999 Department of Defense (DoD) Survey of Active Duty Personnel (ADS). The ADS includes questions about: background information, economic issues, family information, programs and services, military life, career information, and assignment information. Two ordinal logistic regression models were estimated and used to explain variations in the PFC levels of married and single marital status samples of 2,362 and 1,309 U.S. Navy enlisted personnel, respectively. Results provide evidence that PFC levels are significantly affected by dependents, job satisfaction, household residence type, race/ethnicity, time away from homeport (married only), education (single only), paygrade, age, and pecuniary characteristics (gross income, savings, unsecured debt). Further study is recommended to incorporate PFCs into cost estimates addressing the full impact of financial problems. Additional study is also recommended to refine demographic profiles in targeting persons who may benefit most from financial counseling, military housing, and DoD college programs.
