ABSTRACT
Additionally, this paper looks at three studies currently in progress at NPS: a study of possible linkages between a recruit’s socioeconomic status and his or her performance in the military; an assessment of the boot camp (i.e., basic military training) experience (as part of “progressive integration”) for women in the Marine Corps; and an exploratory study of civilian “following spouses” of female offi cers in the Navy. The paper then summarizes the basic premise of a forthcoming article on understanding organizational “culture change” and its relationship to women and minorities in the military.
