This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the factors associated with retention to the 0-5 promotion point and selection for promotion to 0-5. In particular, this thesis focuses on the economic returns to graduate education and specifically Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) education. In theory, the payoff to the Marine Corps is the increased productivity of the officer with a graduate degree. This thesis analyzes the differences in retention and promotion rates between officers with and without graduate degrees. Data from the FY1998 through FY2001 lieutenant colonel promotion boards and data for the corresponding accession cohorts, who entered the Marine Corps between FY1980 and FY1984 are merged with Automated Fitness Report System (AFRS) data. Nonparametric analysis and simple Probit techniques are used to estimate retention and promotion models. The results suggest that, in addition to other factors, graduate degrees from NPS and from sources other than NPS both have a positive effect on the retention and promotion of Marine officers. Several statistical techniques are applied to correct for potential biases due to self selection and sample selection. However, results from these techniques prove sensitive to slight changes in model specification and therefore, are not conclusive.

This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the factors associated with promotion to 0-4, retention to the 0-4 promotion point, and actual performance ratings. One factor, graduate education, is specifically targeted for detailed analysis to determine its direct effects on the measures of on-the-job performance. A defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) cohort file of USMC officers who were commissioned during fiscal year 1980 is merged with Automated Fitness Report System (AFRS) files and Headquarters Master File (HMF) information to analyze performance differences between officers who have and have not obtained a postgraduate education. Nonparametric, ordinary least squares (OLS), and non- linear maximum likelihood (PROBIT) techniques are used to estimate the selection, retention and promotion models. The results suggest that actual on- the-job performance is an important factor in determining promotion, retention, and who attends graduate education. Graduate education appears to have a positive effect on promotion; however, failure to correct for retention and selection issues biases the estimated effects of graduate education upward. Further study using more sophisticated techniques is recommended to clarify the interrelationships among promotion, retention, performance, and graduate education to gain more information on the magnitude and direction of these potential biases.
Book Synopsis Impact of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) on Soldier Retention and Performance by : Paul J. Sticha
Download or read book Impact of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) on Soldier Retention and Performance written by Paul J. Sticha and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation of the Army Continuing Education System (ACES) considered the following programs: (a) Tuition Assistance (TA); (b) Functional Academic Skills Training (FAST; (c) Military Occupational Specialty Improvement Training (MOSIT); (d) Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Leader Skill Enhancement Courses; and (e) the Armed Forces Classification Test (AFCT). The assessment of the effectiveness of these programs is based on their ability to enhance soldier performance and increase the prospects of promotion, as well as to reduce attrition and increase reenlistment. The evaluation data came from a longitudinal administrative database that tracked a three-year accession cohort over a six-year period and an NCO database including self-reported participation in ACES programs, promotion information, and observed performance ratings. The analysis was designed to separate effects of participant characteristics from the effects of the program, and to control for differences in the opportunity and propensity to participate in ACES. Participation in TA and FAST were associated with an increase in the probability of first term reenlistment FAST participation was also associated with lower first-term attrition. Participation in several ACES programs showed positive effects on measures of performance and promotion potential.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Navy's Funded Graduate Education Program by : Kristy N. Kamarck
Download or read book Evaluating Navy's Funded Graduate Education Program written by Kristy N. Kamarck and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. military services send officers to graduate schools each year to pursue advanced degrees, primarily to fill billet requirements later. This can be costly, including such things as tuition, housing, and pay but also the opportunity cost of the officer not filling an operational billet. Participation in such a program incurs specific service requirements in return, but is that enough to recoup the service's investment? The U.S. Navy asked the researchers to assess the quantitative and qualitative returns on investment (ROI) for funded graduate education. The authors modeled the financial aspects for two sample communities within the Navy and discovered that ROI varies depending on how efficiently graduates are matched with billets and how often they are utilized in the related subspecialty. In some cases, it is simply not possible to recoup the costs financially because it would require extremely long service. On the other hand, soft skills and general knowledge that graduate education provides can increase productivity and improve decision quality. Such considerations might justify making graduate education competitive, with selection targeted toward those most likely to stay in the service and to advance to flag rank. In essence, the Navy would be broadly educating many to achieve future capabilities and an ROI from the few."--P. [4] of cover.
Book Synopsis The Effects of U. S. Marine Corps Officer Graduate Education Programs on Officer Performance by : Raul Lianez
Download or read book The Effects of U. S. Marine Corps Officer Graduate Education Programs on Officer Performance written by Raul Lianez and published by . This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis compares the effects of Marine Corps graduate education programs, categorized as either Professional Military Education (PME) or Non- PME, on officer performance. The intent of the thesis is to provide empirical evidence to support or refute Marine Corps cultural perceptions that PME improves officer performance more than Non-PME graduate education. A performance index (PI) is derived from the current Marine Corps fitness report system and averaged before and after graduate education for PME and Non-PME graduates and for a group of officers without graduate education (NOS). Data from the Marine Corps Total Force Data Warehouse are used to assess the marginal effect of graduate education in models that also included demographic, affective and cognitive traits. ANOVA results for O4s show significant improvement in performance over time for all groups (PME, Non-PME and NOS), with the largest improvement for PME and the smallest for NOS, although differences between groups are not significant. Multivariate regressions indicate that, after accounting for other influences, the post-education performance of those with graduate education is not significantly different from those without (NOS). The change in performance between before and after receiving graduate education is not significantly different for PME and NOS, while it is slightly lower for Non- PME than for NOS (significant at .1O level). A limitation of the study is that the data only covered four years of fitness reports. Thus, we were not able to assess the long-run effects of graduate education on officer performance.

This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and evaluate factors that affect career development of U.S. Marine Corps officers. The analysis includes evaluation of fitness reports, performance at The Basic School (TBS), retention, and promotion to 0-4 and 0-5 ranks. The primary goal is to explain the effect of officer commissioning programs on officers' careers. The personnel database used for the analysis includes more than 28,000 Marines who entered between FY 1980 and 1999. The performance models assume that commissioning programs that provide longer and more intensive pre-commissioning acculturation, or that credit enlisted service experience, will be associated with better performance Performance models are specified and estimated for TBS class rank, retention to 10 years of service, promotion to 0-4 and 0-5, and for a Performance Index (PI) derived from fitness report marks.

This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis estimates multivariate models to analyze the determinants of retention to ten years of commissioned service and retention until retirement eligibility of Marine Corps officers by commissioning program. Using data from the Marine Corps Commissioned Officer Accession Career file (MCCOAC), logistic regression models are specified to predict Marine Corps Officer retention behavior. The models specify retention as a function of commissioning program, The Basic School (TB S) graduation rank, General Classification Test (GCT) score, ethnicity, marital status and Military Occupational Specialty (MO S). The findings reveal that those officers commissioned through the MECEP program were 55 percent more likely to stay in until their tenth year of service than officers commissioned via the United States Naval Academy. It was also found that there were no significant differences between commissioning programs in explaining retention to-retirement behavior. Based on the results of the analysis, it is recommended that increasing the number of MECEP candidates may reduce officer attrition and increase the Marine Corps' return on investment in its commissioning programs.
