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.

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.

Book Synopsis U. S. Marine Corps Company - Grade Officer Retention by : Marc A. Zinner
Download or read book U. S. Marine Corps Company - Grade Officer Retention written by Marc A. Zinner and published by . This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzed factors which influenced the retention of male, junior Marine Corps officers who were serving within their initial period of obligated service. A broad social science approach combining organizational and individual behavioral factors was used to model the turnover decision. A multivariate logistic regression model was estimated using these factors to determine their relative importance in explaining differences in the actual retention behavior of these officers. Subsequent models were then estimated to identify and explain differences in the factors affecting the retention between married and single personnel. Data for this study were drawn from a matched file of responses to the 1992 Department of Defense Survey of Officers and Enlisted Personnel and Their Spouses with 1996 follow-up retention information from the Defense Manpower Data Center's Master Loss File. The factors found to influence significantly the sample members' decisions to remain on active duty included: commissioning source; occupational specialty; deployment to Operation Desert Shield/Storm; satisfaction with various intrinsic aspects of life in the Marine Corps; concerns with the force drawdown; whether or not the officer had searched for civilian employment in the last twelve months; whether or not the officer believed that the skills he had acquired in the Marine Corps would be transferable to the civilian market; and the influence on the career decision of the officer's spouse. Finally, recommendations regarding future policy as well as areas for further related research were made.

Book Synopsis The Effect of MOS Selection and Placement on the Retention of Marine Company Grade Officers by : Justin L. Blackmon
Download or read book The Effect of MOS Selection and Placement on the Retention of Marine Company Grade Officers written by Justin L. Blackmon and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to assess the relationships between MOS placement and retention of company grade officers. An officer data file from the Center of Naval Analyses is augmented with Total Force Data Warehouse data to create the primary analysis data file. The data set contained officer cohorts from 1994-1999 and 2001 to 2002, a total of 5,922 newly commissioned officers. Several five- and six-year multivariate retention models are estimated to test the sensitivity of the retention effect of MOS preferences and to determine if including prior enlisted Marines in the data affects the basic effects. The objective is to isolate the effects on junior officer retention of MOS placement outside of an officer's top three MOS preferences. The findings indicate that MOS placement has a strong negative effect on the retention of NROTC, PLC, and OCC graduates. Among demographic groups, black and Asian officers are more likely to retain than white officers. Significant differences in retention do not exist between men and women; however, when prior enlisted officers are included in the samples, the sizes of the key coefficients fall in magnitude. The findings for the six-year model indicate no significant effects of MOS placement, gender, or race, with and without prior enlistees, on the retention decision of officers who graduate from USNA.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Payscale Caps on Marine Mustang Officers and Retirement by :
Download or read book The Effect of Payscale Caps on Marine Mustang Officers and Retirement written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research analyzed prior enlisted Marine Officer Retention and their relationship to military paycaps. An analysis of the data showed that retention behavior of prior-enlisted Marine Officers differs from non-prior Marine Officers. Prior-enlisted Marine Officers are more likely to remain on active duty after their initial service obligation and serve a full career in the Marine Corps than Marine Officers with no previous military experience. Prior-enlisted service has a positive effect on retention to 20 YOS. A Marine Officer with sufficient time in service stops receiving longevity pay, and experiences the phenomenon known as pay compression. The lack of pay raises for six years or longer may be a disincentive to continued service, although prior-enlisted Marine Officers have higher retention rates than non-priors at every stage of their careers. The results of this study suggests that Mustang or prior-enlisted Marine Officers with at least 8 years of prior service retire at a higher rate than regular officers after 20 YOS.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and evaluate factors that affect retention and promotion of mid-grade officers in the U.S. Marine Corps. The analysis includes evaluation of survival patterns to ten-years of commissioned service and promotion patterns to O-4 and O-5. The primary goal is to explain the effect of an officers2 primary military occupational specialty (PMOS) on retention and promotion. The Marine Corps Commissioned Officer Accession Career (MCCOAC) data file contains cohort information from FY 1980 through FY 1999 and includes 27,659 observations. Using data from the MCCOAC data file, logistic regression and Cox Proportional Hazard models are used to estimate the effects of an officer2s PMOS on survival and promotion patterns of Marine Corps officers. The findings indicate that an officers PMOS is significantly associated with whether an officer stays until 10 YCS or is promoted to O-4 or O-5. Logistic regression results show that pilot PMOSs are positively correlated with surviving until 10 YCS, but are negatively correlated with promotion to O-4, when compared to Infantry. The results also find that the remaining PMOSs are negatively correlated with whether and officer survives until 10 YCS, when compared to Infantry. In addition, only three PMOSs (0402, 7202, and 7523) are positively correlated with whether an officer is promoted to O-4 or O-5. Finally, the Cox Proportional Hazard results show the effect of having a particular PMOS or occupational field on the hazards of separation and promotion.
Book Synopsis Clear Policy Needed on the Effects of Pregnancy When Seeking a Commission by :
Download or read book Clear Policy Needed on the Effects of Pregnancy When Seeking a Commission written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2001, a staff sergeant in the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP) in Chicago, Illinois, was told that upon graduation her commission would be delayed due to her pregnancy. She was told that being pregnant was a disqualifying factor to being commissioned and that she would not be commissioned until she could pass a physical fitness test (PFT) after giving birth. The staff sergeant had fulfilled all requirements: She had completed Officer Candidate School, she passed the PFT (while two months pregnant) with a score of 277, and she was to graduate that May from the university she was attending. In January 2001 (one month before being informed of her commissioning delay), she had taken her commissioning physical. The examining doctor, S.H. Isaacma, approved her as "physically qualified for pre-commission." The staff sergeant requested mast to the Commanding General, Marine Corps Recruiting Command (CG, MCRC). She also submitted a request for review of her case to the Board of Corrections for Naval Records (BCNR). In each case, the policy was cited as nonnegotiable. Anatomy is not something the Marine Corps can change, but the policies the Marine Corps uses can be written in a clear, logical, and nondiscriminatory manner so that a pregnancy does not hinder the career advancement of a female Marine. The Marine Corps makes logical exceptions to technically unlawful circumstances (i.e., in the case of a dual active duty couple having one member seek a commission while the other remains enlisted). The Marine Corps needs to revise MCO 5000.12E and make it clear, logical, and nondiscriminatory in application to commissioning programs.
Book Synopsis A Statistical Analysis of Officer Retention in the U. S. Military by : Turgay Demirel
Download or read book A Statistical Analysis of Officer Retention in the U. S. Military written by Turgay Demirel and published by . This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effect of officer commissioning sources on the retention of officers at two different career points: 1) At the end of the initial service obligation (MSR), and (2) at ten-years of service. The goal of this study is to help policy makers in setting and implementing personnel policies by providing information on the effectiveness of each commissioning program. The Defense Manpower Data Center in Monterey, California, provided the data file used in the analysis of officer retention. The data file contained longitudinal information on the population of officers who entered the military between 1985 and 1995. Logit regression models were used to analyze officer retention at MSR and at the ten-year point. Results indicate that retention behavior varies across commissioning programs. Significant differences in retention are observed among graduates of the Service Academies, ROTC scholarship and ROTC Non-scholarship Programs, Officer Candidate/Training Schools, and Direct Appointment Programs. The differences are observed for all services combined and for each individual service. In most of the models, commissioning source variables are significant; however, the magnitude differences in retention between the five major commissioning sources often are not large. Moreover, the direction of the retention effect often varies across the services for each commissioning program. Further research on officer commissioning programs is recommended to include individual preferences and job satisfaction in the analysis of officer retention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self.

Download or read book Indefinite Reenlistment and Noncommissioned Officers written by Laura L. Miller and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, the U.S. Army became the only service to shift its senior enlistment force from a fixed enlistment contract system to indefinite reenlistment, which eliminated the reenlistment requirement in the latter half of a noncommissioned officer's career and placed them on the same indefinite service contract as officers. This study considers the utility of this program and potential applicability to the other service branches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines factors which influence the retention of male, company-grade Marine Corps officers (grades O-1 to O-3) who are within their initial period of obligated service. Data used combined responses from the 1985 DoD Survey of Officer and Enlisted Personnel and the respondents' 1989 status from the officer master fine maintained by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Logit regression was used to measure the relative importance of a broad range of factors for retention. These included: biographic and demographic characteristics, tenure data, perception of external job opportunities, and satisfaction with various aspects of military life. Results indicated that the individual's marital/dependent status, commissioning source, military occupational specialty, race, and satisfaction with specific intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of the military job are most important in predicting the retention behavior of junior Marine Corp officers with no less than 12 months of service and no more than seven and one-half years of active service. These findings can provide manpower planners with information to project and manage future retention levels of company-grade officers and to identify possible shortfalls in critical occupational specialties.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Graduate Education on the Retention and Promotion of Marine Corps Officers by : Gregory A. Branigan
Download or read book The Effect of Graduate Education on the Retention and Promotion of Marine Corps Officers written by Gregory A. Branigan and published by . 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.
