Surface Warfare Community Structure: The First Eight Years of Service
Published Date: July 1, 1988
This research memorandum describes the career paths for Surface Warfare Officers (SWOs) during their first eight years of active duty. Longitudinal history files were created for each of four year groups and were then used to determine summary statistics for the movement of officers into and out of the SWO community, attainment of SWO qualifications, and selection for department head.
