|
 | Through unstructured interviews the elements of knowledge and skill required of a competent ship handler were identified. Personal characteristics inherent in all ship handlers were defined. From analyses of 196 Navy and Merchant Marine accidents the environmental and human factors which contributed to these accidents were determined. Two special cases, wake damage and replenishment at sea, were also investigated. An inspection of existing training and training devices was made to ... |

John A. McAuley Jr.; Bradley T. White; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CALIF
|
| The Congress of the United States, in an attempt to reduce Department of Defense (DOD) spending, has recommended an interservice consolidation of Undergraduate Helicopter Pilot Training (UHPT). DOD, in the FY77 budget proposal, indicated its intention to consolidate UHPT at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The proposal bases its cost savings, to a large degree, on the elimination of the fixed-wing phase of Navy helicopter pilot training and the 'release' of an ... |

| This study showed that technical training students could be classified into potential instructional groups, using linear typal analysis. However, the operational and practical consequences of using linear typal analysis were not demonstrated in this study. Further study was suggested in order to determine the practical significance of grouping individuals into groups, based on linear typal analysis. (Author) |

| Authors:
Velma Montoya Thompson; RAND CORP SANTA MONICA CALIF
|
| This Paper focuses upon the government's role in retraining unemployed workers during nonrecession periods. To do so, two kinds of deviations from the ideal competitive world of economics are considered. Each deviation leads to economically inefficient retraining decisions and calls for a special kind of government policy to induce efficient retraining decisions. The first deviation supports the suggestion that the government extend unemployment compensation to recently unemployed men and women ... |

| The conclusions from this analysis would appear to be that whites have been promoted faster than blacks and that neither education level nor AFQT category accounted for the black-white differences in speed of promotion. However, this does not eliminate the possibility of other variables or the interaction between several variables accounting for the differences. The findings about education level and AFQT as they relate to race and speed of promotion ... |

|
| As a result of this occupational survey, it is concluded that: (1) Although Veterinary Specialists/Technicians, AFS 90830/50/70, spend a nominal amount of time performing animal care tasks, Animal Specialist/Technicians, AFS 90831/71, do not perform the majority of food inspection tasks accomplished by the personnel in DAFSC 908XO. Survey data therefore does not provide support for combining the ladders; and (2) The AFM 39-1 description effective 31 October 1976, needs minor ... |
