Marine Corps Recruiting Command administers minority officer recruiting, the brunt of which is the responsibility of Officer Selection Officers. Currently, minority officer accessions fail to reflect the demographic composition of the nation's college market. To increase minority rates, MCRC must align minority officer applicant submission goals with the population of eligible, test-score-qualified, male, baccalaureate degree-seeking students. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether current minority applicant submission goals are reasonably allocated. The first phase develops a propensity-weighted Qualified Candidate Population (PW-QCP) model to provide college market estimates. Phase 2 compares these PW-QCP estimates with five-year minority officer applicant trends and minority submission goals. The third phase builds a probit model to predict the probability of accession based on applicant characteristics. The results show that submission goals should be modified to reflect the changing demographics of the nation and that the probability of minority accession is dependent on qualification characteristics that exceed those of the average applicant. The findings suggest that increasing minority representation depends on: (1) submission goals that align approximately with PW-QCP estimates; (2) submission goals that are met by Marine Corps Districts; and (3) minority applicants who can meet or exceed average eligibility requirements.

This thesis addresses the reasons why Black officers joined the Marine Corps, their attitudes toward continued service, and their general feelings about population diversity in the military. Focused interviews were conducted with 15 Black Marine officers. All interviews were taped and then transcribed. Analysis of the transcripts revealed 15 general themes. These themes covered many topics, including the people who most influenced an officer's decision to join the Marine Corps, the role of recruiters, perceptions of inequitable treatment, and concerns about achieving minority representation in the officer ranks. A major finding drawn from the themes is that the Marine Corps must continue to strive for a deeper understanding of the problems and issues confronting minority officers. In the end, the key to success in minority officer recruitment lies in the thoughts and perspectives of current, as well as, future minority officers. The thesis concludes with a collection of potential survey items drawn from the themes and recommended courses of action that may help the sea Services pursue their goal of population diversity.

This monograph presents a straightforward and personalized account of the Corps' efforts during the last three decades to increase the presence of African-Americans within its officer ranks. This narrative represents an account of the Marine Corps' efforts to increase the presence of African-Americans in its officer ranks during the period from 1970 to 1995. The word "presence" is used instead of the term "number" in the title of this effort because it transcends the singular focus of quantity. "Presence" underscores the relative importance of certain areas that contribute to the career progression of commissioned officers. Among those areas are accessions, military occupational specialties, assignments, and promotions.

The report analyzes the impact of upgrading and mobility practices and practices for minority personnel within the Navy and Marine Corps. Because the All Volunteer Forces concept has forced the military services to compete with private industry for manpower, the policies and practices of private industry in the area of minority manpower utilization may serve to provide insights and models for the resolution of the problems within the Navy and the Marine Corps. The nature of the problem is described as having both qualitative and quantitative aspects for the enlisted and officer ranks of both services. Several principal factors impacting on the processes of minority upgrading and mobility are identified and discussed in detail. These factors include the following: Standardized written examinations; selection and assignment for occupational training; criteria for promotion; and other environmental factors.
