Description: This study examines academic review board (ARB) decision making in Navy technical      training in relation to standardization in the system for reporting training attrition. The      results of a survey show differences in ARB procedures across the schools sampled,      and that there is fairly high agreement among ARB members about the value of the      factors they consider in deciding to setback or attrite students in training. The study also      includes a discussion of ARB member perceptions of the effects of the Navy's policy to      keep training attrition low. The recommendations address the differences found, but also      point out that the accuracy of ARB decisions is still unknown. A study of the costs and      fleet performance of marginal students would provide a concrete basis for establishing      attrition policy.
