Description
Summary:Performance evaluations (Enlisted Performance Evaluation Marks) of applicants for Operation Deep Freeze were compared with those of other naval personnel, and volunteers with different amounts of experience were compared with each other. Performance ratings for Deep Freeze candidates were higher than those of other naval personnel of comparable experience. It was concluded that special standards or norms should be established to aid in selection of the best qualified men from this population and that separate norms are required for evaluating performance records of those experienced naval personnel. The Leadership trait may be more discriminating than other traits in this population.
