Abstract
A group of 3,731 marines on whom age and educational status at enlistment were available were studied. At the end of two years of active duty, subjects were classed as Non‐success if they presented evidence of unsatisfactory adjustment to the Corps. All other subjects were classed as Success. The Success rates of different classes of subjects by educational grouping are shown. The hypothesis that subjects who complete high school before enlistment have higher Success rates than do those who drop out of school, and that, of the dropouts, those completing their education after enlistment have a higher Success rate than those who do not complete their education, was supported.
