Summary This proposal describes the first phase of a two-phase project, with each phase occupying a one-year period. The primary objective of this first phase is to identify, collect and evaluate data that can be used to update and augment the existing quality matrix so that it can more precisely predict a sailor's probability of completing his or her first term. These data might include information on, for example, ACT/SAT scores, adult education, or distance/virtual learning. Some of the data may be commercially available; other parts might need to be collected directly from recruits. The second phase, should it go forward in FY & 15, will involve building models using these additional sets of data; those models will be developed and to the existing Quality Matrix.
