GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. 1ST QUARTER, FY04 FIRST-TERM, POST-BOOT CAMP,
NON-EAS ATTRITION IS AN EXTENSION OF THE SUCCESS FROM FY03. WE
CONTINUE TO REDUCE OUR FIRST-TERM, POST-BOOT CAMP, NON-EAS
ATTRITION EACH QUARTER. THIS POSITIVE CHANGE IN ATTRITION BEHAVIOR
IS PARTIALLY A RESULT OF THE INCREASED OPERATIONAL TEMPO.
2. FIRST-TERM, POST-BOOT CAMP, NON-EAS ATTRITION DECREASED THIS
QUARTER 22 PERCENT FROM THE SAME PERIOD LAST FY, AND 25 PERCENT
FROM HISTORICAL QUARTERLY NORMS. THE REDUCTION IN ATTRITION IS
PRIMARILY A RESULT OF DECREASES IN MISCONDUCT SEPARATIONS.
3. SEPARATIONS ARE CATEGORIZED INTO FIVE MAJOR GROUPS. THESE
CATEGORIES ARE:
A. MISCONDUCT (TO INCLUDE SEPARATIONS FOR DRUGS, SERIOUS OFFENSES,
PATTERNS OF MISCONDUCT, HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR, ETC).
B. PHYSICAL DISABILITY (TO INCLUDE SEPARATIONS FOR PERMANENT,
TEMPORARY, SEVERANCE PAY DISABILITIES, ETC).
C. UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE (TO INCLUDE SEPARATIONS FOR WEIGHT
CONTROL, UNSUITABILITY, ETC).
D. CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT (TO INCLUDE SEPARATIONS FOR
ACCEPTING A COMMISSION, HARDSHIP, PARENTHOOD, PREGNANCY, SECNAV
AUTHORITY, SERVICE TRANSFER, SOLE SURVIVOR, ETC).
E. DESERTER STATUS (INCLUDES INCIDENTS OF DESERTION).
4. LISTED BELOW ARE SEPARATIONS BY CATEGORY FOR EACH OF THE MAJOR
COMMANDS: MARFORPAC, MARFORLANT, MCCDC, MARFORRES, AND MCRC. THESE
MAJOR COMMANDS REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 90 PERCENT OF THE FIRST-TERM
FORCE. AVERAGE (AVG) IS THE HISTORICAL QUARTERLY AVERAGE OF THE
PREVIOUS NINE QUARTERS AND ALLOWS FOR TREND COMPARISON.
