Issued: August 1, 2005
1. OUR 3RD QUARTER FIRST-TERM, POST-BOOT CAMP, NON-EAS ATTRITION HAS INCREASED BY 12 PERCENT FROM THE 2ND QUARTER, FY05, BUT IS 6 PERCENT BELOW 3RD QUARTER, FY04. A MAJORITY OF THE INCREASE SINCE LAST QUARTER CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO A HIGHER NUMBER OF PHYSICAL DISABILITY RELATED DISCHARGES. THIS INCREASE DOES NOT, HOWEVER, INDICATE AN OVERALL INCREASE FOR FY05 IN THIS CATEGORY. THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL DISABILITY DISCHARGES THIS QUARTER IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE AND IS LOWER THAN THE SAME QUARTER LAST YEAR. 2. 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 AND 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.
