Book excerpt: Analyses of the 1972 through 1974 accessions lead to the following conclusions: (1) Compared to the 1972 accessions, there has been an increase in average aptitudes of the 1973 and 1974 accessions in the Electronics aptitude area along with a moderate decrease in Administrative aptitudes; (2) In the post-draft period, Air Force enlisted a greater percentage of young men and women with 12 or more years of education than were enlisted in 1972; (3) For the male population, there was a significant decrease in the percentage of enlistees with education beyond high school; (4) For females, no change in level of education beyond high school from 1972 to 1974 was noted; (5) The aptitude levels of Black enlistees in 1973-1974 are equal to or higher than the aptitudes of Blacks enlisting in 1972; (6) There has been a deviation from the 1972 pattern of aptitude levels by geographic area to the extent that Areas 3 and 4 (South and Southwest) do not consistently fall at the lowest end of the geographic aptitude spectrum; (7) Air Force continues to enlist a proportion of Blacks equal to or greater than, the proportion of Blacks found in the general population; and (8) The all-volunteer Air Force has not created a 'man-drain' of skills from the civilian manpower pool. Enlistment is from the mid-range portion of the aptitude spectrum with a return, four years hence to the civilian sector of thousands of skilled personnel in over 200 job types. (Author).
