<p>This thesis develops officer retention ratios that are useful in understanding the retention behavioral trends of accession sources over time. Data files from the Defense Manpower Data Center on Supply Corp officer accessions in 1985 to 1995 are used in the analysis. The study focuses on officers that resign voluntarily after completion of the minimum service requirement and before reaching the ninth year of active service. The findings reveal that each accession source has unique accession to retention ratios. A comparison of the retention ratios to accession trends reveals that retention rates can be improved through an understanding of retention behavior. Recommendations are made for the Navy to develop cost-effectiveness metrics that are based on retention behavior. Integration of these metrics into planning and analysis models will facilitate the cost evaluation of proposed accession policies.
