Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2001-03-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis evaluates the effect of fully-funded graduate education on the joint outcome of promote to Pay Grade 5 and screen for squadron command for fixed-wing, carrier-based aviator lieutenant commanders (Pay Grade 4) eligible for the Pay Grade 5 board. Binomial logit models are estimated to examine the impacts of earning a graduate degree, the timing of the degree, and the technical specificity of the degree. The thesis finds no evidence that career progression at this critical point is harmed by acquiring a fully-funded graduate degree. Rather, the thesis finds significant positive effects on promote/screen for those officers earning advanced degrees at selected junctures. Logit model estimates show that aviators with fully-funded technical degrees earned one or more years after the Pay Grade 4 board are 26.9% more likely to promote/screen than aviators without graduate degrees. Additionally, officers who earned graduate degrees on their own time are 5.8% more likely to promote/screen than officers without graduate degrees.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Fully-Funded Graduate Education and Resident JPME on Aviator Promotion and Command Selection by : Michael S. Orzell
Download or read book The Impact of Fully-Funded Graduate Education and Resident JPME on Aviator Promotion and Command Selection written by Michael S. Orzell and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact that FFGE and JPME have on aviator promotion to the ranks of Commander and Captain and on selection for command. This thesis accurately measures their impact by incorporating new measures of performance, namely good jobs. These two proxies for performance were developed to help capture those unmeasurable characteristics that do not show up on officer Fitness Reports. This study examines officers appearing before the 1988-1994 Commander and Captain promotion boards. Two separate Log it models are used to estimate the effects of these educational opportunities on promotion both before and after the start of the drawdown. Separate Logit regression models for command screen are also specified for these two time periods. Model results indicate that FFGE had a significant positive impact on Commander selection and a significant negative impact on command selection in the pre-FY90 period. The impact of JPME was significant and positive for promotion to Commander in both periods and for command screen in the pre-FY90 period. Joint Duty Assignment had a significant and negative impact on command selection in both periods. The results of these models may reflect changes in the policies of the aviation community toward FFGE and JPME as well as differences in the officers who choose the educational opportunities. This thesis provides evidence of difficulties in combining FFGE, JPME and JDA in an aviation career.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Impact of Fully Funded Graduate Education on the Retention of Naval Officers by : Eric L. Conzen
Download or read book An Analysis of the Impact of Fully Funded Graduate Education on the Retention of Naval Officers written by Eric L. Conzen and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the impact of "funded graduate education" on retention of Naval Officers. Logit regression and multivariate models were used to determine the effects that a graduate degree from the Naval Postgraduate School (fully funded) or civilian graduate schools through partially funded graduate programs had on officer retention. The data sets were created using data from the Officer Master Record Files (OMRF) obtained from the Defense Manpower Data Center, Monterey, California (DMDC). The data sets included all Naval Officers that were eligible for voluntary separation each year from 1992 to 1997. Maximum likelihood logit regression was used to estimate the probabilities that officers with graduate degrees earned from NPS or civilian institutions decide to leave the service at the end of any mandatory educational obligation. The findings revealed indicate that although funded graduate education may have an effect on promotion possibilities, its impact on retention past the ten-year point in an officer's career is not detectable.
Book Synopsis The Effects of the Utilization of Graduate Education on Promotion and Executive Officer/Command Screening in the Surface Community by : Kim L. Fuchs
Download or read book The Effects of the Utilization of Graduate Education on Promotion and Executive Officer/Command Screening in the Surface Community written by Kim L. Fuchs and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effect of graduate education on the career progression of Navy surface warfare officers. The probability of promotion to LCDR (O-4), CDR (O-5) and CAPT (O-6) grades as well as the probability of screening for XO and CO are used as career progression milestones. The analysis examines the effect on career outcomes of a graduate education background in general, differences in the effect of holding a Navy-funded graduate degree versus a non-funded degree, and whether the funded degree was in a technical or non-technical curricula. The thesis also investigates the effect of utilization of graduate education on career progression. Finally, the thesis examines the determinants of who decides to pursue (or is chosen to attend) a funded graduate program. The results support the conclusion that officers who select (or are selected for) the graduate education program have stronger undergraduate backgrounds and stronger job performance early in their careers. These traits raise a question of selection bias, since officers who have graduate education may have been more likely to promote even if they did not have graduate education. A test for selection bias was developed and incorporated in the career progression models. The results indicate that a fully funded graduate degree has a positive effect on the selected measures of career progression. The probability of promotion to O-6 was higher for officers who utilized their graduate degrees as an O-5 compared to those who utilized earlier in their careers. Finally, officers with non-technical graduate majors had a higher probability of promoting than those with technical majors.
Book Synopsis A Multivariate Analysis of the Effects of Academic Performance and Graduate Education on the Promotion of Senior U.S. Navy Officers by : Thomas A. Buterbaugh
Download or read book A Multivariate Analysis of the Effects of Academic Performance and Graduate Education on the Promotion of Senior U.S. Navy Officers written by Thomas A. Buterbaugh and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis develops multivariate models to estimate the effects of undergraduate academic performance and fully-funded graduate education on promotion to the ranks of Commander (0-5) and Captain (0-6) in the U.S. Navy. Using data extracted from the Officer Promotion History Files, two sample populations were selected for analysis: officers who appeared before the Commander promotion boards between fiscal years 1981 and 1994, and those who appeared before the Captain promotion boards during this same period. These data sets were further categorized into five warfare communities and two separate time periods; the period between 1981-1989 (the pre-drawdown), and the period between 1990-1994 (the drawdown). Ordinary least squares (OLS) and maximum likelihood log it regression models were employed to estimate the probability of being promoted to these two ranks. The findings reveal that graduate education and academic performance have positive effects on promotion probability for some, but not all, of the communities over the various time periods. Recommendations for further study are included.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Impact of Graduate Education on the Performance and Retention of General Unrestricted Line Officers by : Susan Sturm Jordan
Download or read book An Analysis of the Impact of Graduate Education on the Performance and Retention of General Unrestricted Line Officers written by Susan Sturm Jordan and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the impact of graduate education on the promotion performance and retention of General Unrestricted Line Officers. Logistic models are developed to determine the effects of a graduate degree from the Naval Postgraduate School and other sources on the probability of promotion to Lieutenant Commander and Commander, and on retention up to the Lieutenant Command and Commander levels. Results indicate that graduate education has a positive impact on the probability of promotion to Lieutenant Commander, with Naval Postgraduate School showing a stronger effect than other education sources. No significant effect was noted for promotion to Commander. Graduate education was found to have a significantly negative impact on retention prior to the Lieutenant Commander selection point. Results for retention at the Commander selection level were inconclusive. It is recommended that further research be done concerning the impact of graduate education on other officer communities.

Download or read book Supply and Demand for Busiiness Education in Naval Aviation written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the Navy's transformation plan, advanced business education is increasing in importance. As part of the Navy's Sea Power 21 strategy, Sea Enterprise encourages Naval Aviation to steer historical management practices towards better business practices. As pilots and Naval Flight Officers evolve from Mission Commander to Commanding Officer, they must be equipped with requisite business skill sets to engage the challenge of balancing aircraft modernization with current readiness. This project analyzes the supply and demand for postgraduate business education to determine how prepared Naval Aviation is to achieve long-term transformation objectives. The results show that 25 percent of all aviation officers (O-1 to O- 6) have a graduate business degree; 17 percent of Commanding Officers with advanced degrees have a business specialization; and 2.5 percent of aviation officer billets require a postgraduate business degree. Recommendations to better prepare the aviation community for the Sea Enterprise environment include: (1) Early emphasis of graduate business education, (2) Promote advanced business education as a major career milestone, (3) Tie first shore tour assignments to graduate business education, and (4) Increase the overall billet requirement for advanced business degrees. These improvements may greatly enhance the Navy's efforts towards achieving its transformation goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy and the other military services send a number of their officers to graduate-level institutions each year to obtain advanced degrees. The primary purpose of providing these officers graduate education is so they can fill positions in their services whose duties require the knowledge and skills gained in graduate school. Furthermore, the benefits of a graduate education extend beyond the specific assignment for which the officer was educated, applying to subsequent assignments as well, albeit less directly. However, at an estimated cost of about $245,000 per officer for a funded master's degree, the cost of this education is substantial. For fully funded education, the service must pay not only the cost of the education but also the pay and allowances associated with an officer's billet allocated for education. Additionally, an opportunity cost is incurred: While the officer is attending school, his or her services are lost to the operational billets in which he or she could be gaining experience. The question frequently arises as to whether the benefit gained from a graduate education is worth the cost. While the quantitative effects of graduate education can be estimated, evaluating the qualitative effects of a graduate education poses a number of challenges.

Book Synopsis Factors Affecting the Retention of Junior Officer Fixed Wing Naval Aviators by : Michael J. Supko
Download or read book Factors Affecting the Retention of Junior Officer Fixed Wing Naval Aviators written by Michael J. Supko and published by . This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to examine and supplement the information the Navy uses to design policies geared to retain fixed wing aviators past their initial commitment. Currently, the ARGUS Career Milestone and Tracking System web-based survey is an important tool used by the Navy to study retention. However, this database does not disaggregate fixed wing aviators based on the platforms flown. Some factors that affect retention may be unique to the individual sub-communities. The goal of this paper is to first examine whether factors for retention differ within the aviation community as a whole. The second objective is to determine whether there are retention factors not taken into account by the ARGUS database. The more detailed information generated in this study can help the Navy design more effective polices for retaining junior officer fixed wing naval aviators.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Graduate Education on the Performance of Air Force Officers by :
Download or read book The Effect of Graduate Education on the Performance of Air Force Officers written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the effects of graduate education on the retention and promotion of Line of the Air Force (LAF) officers at the rank of Captain and Major. Logistic regression models are estimated to examine the effects of graduate education on the retention of Captains and Majors and on promotion to Major using data from the Active Duty Military Master File for fiscal years 1992 through 2006. A difference-in-difference estimator is incorporated into the promotion model to evaluate the effects of an Air Force policy change intended to eliminate any bias towards advanced education at promotion boards. Besides graduate education, explanatory variables include basic demographic traits and professional characteristics. Results indicate that graduate education has a positive effect on retention of LAF officers at the rank of Captain and Major. Findings from the promotion model indicate that graduate education also has a positive effect on promotion but results for the change in policy (masking education information for promotion) are inconclusive. In addition, race and career field are shown to influence both retention behavior and promotion while gender significantly affects retention but not promotion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy is ready to execute the Nation's tasks at sea, from prompt and sustained combat operations to every-day forward-presence, diplomacy and relief efforts. We operate worldwide, in space, cyberspace, and throughout the maritime domain. The United States is and will remain a maritime nation, and our security and prosperity are inextricably linked to our ability to operate naval forces on, under and above the seas and oceans of the world. To that end, the Navy executes programs that enable our Sailors, Marines, civilians, and forces to meet existing and emerging challenges at sea with confidence. Six priorities guide today's planning, programming, and budgeting decisions: (1) maintain a credible, modern, and survivable sea based strategic deterrent; (2) sustain forward presence, distributed globally in places that matter; (3) develop the capability and capacity to win decisively; (4) focus on critical afloat and ashore readiness to ensure the Navy is adequately funded and ready; (5) enhance the Navy's asymmetric capabilities in the physical domains as well as in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum; and (6) sustain a relevant industrial base, particularly in shipbuilding.

Download or read book Marines and Helicopters, 1962-1973 written by Usmc Lieutenant Colonel William Fails and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history traces the development of helicopters in the Marine Corps from 1962 to 1973 and is the second in a series of two volumes which between them cover the story of Marines and helicopters from 1946 to the present. In the period covered by this volume, the Marines at last acquired helicopters fully capable of carrying out an amphibious vertical assault, and they further elaborated their helicopter doctrines and tactics. In the Vietnam war, pilots and machines met and surmounted the test of actual combat. The documentary basis for this monograph was primarily the official records of the Marine Corps and Navy Department, but considerable use was made of interviews and correspondence with key individuals involved in all phases of helicopter development. One of the most pervasive characteristics of man is hindsight. It masquerades under many guises: Mon day morning quarterbacking, second guessing, and historical writing. When viewed through time, the past becomes distorted. Problems seem simpler, the choices more clear, and the conditions less complex than those of the present. The men who played a part become more heroic or more villainous than they were in life. This volume is an attempt to portray accurately the difficulties faced and the obstacles conquered by the men who developed helicopters in the Marine Corps, so that the Marines of today and the future may meet the challenges of their own times with the same dedication as their predecessors. The men who developed helicopters in the Marine Corps had nothing more to rely on than their knowledge of what had preceded them, intelligence liberally used, and both mental and physical courage. The present-day Marine will be well served if he applies nothing more.
