The Indoctrination Division: A Model for Effective Integration of First-Term Enlisted Personnel into the Aircraft Carrier Organization.

摘要

This paper proposes an Indoctrination division model for processing of first-term enlisted personnel reporting aboard aircraft carriers. The model is designed to meet the needs of these individuals as adolescents as well as sailors. Theories of adolescence, problems of modern youth, and attitudes of first-term sailors are examined in order to determine the needs of the client population, and explore ways of meeting these needs. Finally, a specific Indoctrination model is offered which is based on the theories discussed and the author's experience as an I-division officer aboard an aircraft carrier. (Author)
