Abstract
The objective of the research reported here was to assess the potential value and the utilization of recruits' civilian-acquired skills. A recruit was defined as having a military-relevant civilian-acquired skill if he had had six months or more of job experience in any of 67 common civilian jobs. The research data was obtained for four services: two Army sites, one each for Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Data were collected by administering questionnaires to recruits; obtaining judgments of classification interviewers; and extracting information on initial military assignment, enlistment commitment, and AFQT scores from official records.
