Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine Corps Recruiting Command administers minority officer recruiting, the brunt of which is the responsibility of Officer Selection Officers. Currently, minority officer accessions fail to reflect the demographic composition of the nation's college market. To increase minority rates, MCRC must align minority officer applicant submission goals with the population of eligible, test-score-qualified, male, baccalaureate degree-seeking students. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether current minority applicant submission goals are reasonably allocated. The first phase develops a propensity-weighted Qualified Candidate Population (PW-QCP) model to provide college market estimates. Phase 2 compares these PW-QCP estimates with five-year minority officer applicant trends and minority submission goals. The third phase builds a probit model to predict the probability of accession based on applicant characteristics. The results show that submission goals should be modified to reflect the changing demographics of the nation and that the probability of minority accession is dependent on qualification characteristics that exceed those of the average applicant. The findings suggest that increasing minority representation depends on: (1) submission goals that align approximately with PW-QCP estimates; (2) submission goals that are met by Marine Corps Districts; and (3) minority applicants who can meet or exceed average eligibility requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses the reasons why Black officers joined the Marine Corps, their attitudes toward continued service, and their general feelings about population diversity in the military. Focused interviews were conducted with 15 Black Marine officers. All interviews were taped and then transcribed. Analysis of the transcripts revealed 15 general themes. These themes covered many topics, including the people who most influenced an officer's decision to join the Marine Corps, the role of recruiters, perceptions of inequitable treatment, and concerns about achieving minority representation in the officer ranks. A major finding drawn from the themes is that the Marine Corps must continue to strive for a deeper understanding of the problems and issues confronting minority officers. In the end, the key to success in minority officer recruitment lies in the thoughts and perspectives of current, as well as, future minority officers. The thesis concludes with a collection of potential survey items drawn from the themes and recommended courses of action that may help the sea Services pursue their goal of population diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a straightforward and personalized account of the Corps' efforts during the last three decades to increase the presence of African-Americans within its officer ranks. This narrative represents an account of the Marine Corps' efforts to increase the presence of African-Americans in its officer ranks during the period from 1970 to 1995. The word "presence" is used instead of the term "number" in the title of this effort because it transcends the singular focus of quantity. "Presence" underscores the relative importance of certain areas that contribute to the career progression of commissioned officers. Among those areas are accessions, military occupational specialties, assignments, and promotions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report analyzes the impact of upgrading and mobility practices and practices for minority personnel within the Navy and Marine Corps. Because the All Volunteer Forces concept has forced the military services to compete with private industry for manpower, the policies and practices of private industry in the area of minority manpower utilization may serve to provide insights and models for the resolution of the problems within the Navy and the Marine Corps. The nature of the problem is described as having both qualitative and quantitative aspects for the enlisted and officer ranks of both services. Several principal factors impacting on the processes of minority upgrading and mobility are identified and discussed in detail. These factors include the following: Standardized written examinations; selection and assignment for occupational training; criteria for promotion; and other environmental factors.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the military draft ended in 1975, newly commissioned officers haveincluded increasing numbers of minorities and women. These officers must beretained and promoted for the senior officer ranks to become as diverse asthe junior officer ranks are today. This report examines whether minorityand women officers obtain these promotions and choose to continue in theircareers at the same rate as other officers. The authors conducted tworesearch efforts: analyzing personnel records and interviewing midcareerofficers, personnel managers, and promotion board members individually andin focus groups. Results for minorities other than blacks were limited dueto small sample sizes. White women were found to be less likely to reachhigher officer ranks than were men, mostly because they chose to leave themilitary between promotions. Black male and black female officers generallyfailed promotions in higher proportions than did white males, but were morelikely to stay in the military between promotions. The interviews and focusgroups revealed different perceptions about careers: Black officers seemedto have greater difficulty forming all-important peer and mentorrelationships and overcoming initial expectations of lower performance.Women's careers have been affected by limited occupational opportunities,inconsistent acceptance of their role as military officers, harassment, andfamily conflicts.

Download or read book The Effects of the Military Drawdown on Recruiting of Minority Officers written by Jon E. Lux and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effects of the defense drawdown (from 1988 through 1994) on the accession of racial/ethnic minorities into the military's officer corps. Analysis focuses on changes in minority representation by source of commission and occupational categories. In addition, the thesis looks at the relationship between graduation from a Historically Black College (HBC) and promotion to 0-4. Logistic models were used to evaluate an officer's probability of being promoted to 0-4, and ordinary least squares models were employed to evaluate length of time to promotion. The results indicate that the level of representation for some minority groups declined within specific areas; but, on the whole, minorities experienced an increase in representation during the drawdown period. Also, statistical analyses suggest that attendance at an HBC has no significant effect on time to promotion but, it is positively related with an increased probability of promotion to 0-4 during the period of study. Continued monitoring of minority representation is recommended. 14. SUBIECT TERMS: minority; defense drawdown; accessions; promotion; Historically Black Colleges.

This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis attempts to verify, validate, and then expand a model of the population of college students that may be qualified and interested in seeking a commission in the United States Marine Corps. The model supports allocation of recruiting goals, location of officer recruiter resources and boundaries, and analysis of the officer recruiting market. It functions by generating institution-level forecasts of the male baccalaureate cohort, by race and attendance status, and above a certain test eligibility threshold. This research conducted a survey of colleges and officer recruiters. It determined that the model cannot be validated, for the post secondary education system cannot provide precise measurements. College survey responses are enhanced with imputation, and then compared against the model's output in order to gain some understanding of the model's performance. The study then proposes a measure of college student propensity to seek a commission, based on historic measures of commitment. Finally, the research develops a flexible spreadsheet application that enables recruiting planners to analyze and forecast population trends through fiscal year 2004.

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.
