Lehman The Secretary of the Navy Attention: Comptroller of the Navy (NCB-53) 119453 Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: Success of the Programed School Input Program Justifies Expansion (GAO/FPCD-82-53) We have recently reviewed the Navy's Programed School Input (PSI) program--a school guarantee option which sends enlistees to duty stations for a period of time before returning them to a Navy school for initial skill training in a specific occupation. In recent years approximately 3,000 enlisted personnel have been recruited annually (about 3% of total enlistees) under this op- tion. Our review of the program indicates that, despite some implementation problems discussed in enclosure IV, the program has afforded the Navy and its enlistees the following advantages: --The Navy is provided with a recruit's service before a large training investment is made. --The PSI recruit is provided an opportunity to adapt to the Navy before initial skill training begins, thus re- ducing the likelihood of attrition during the enlistment term. --The Navy's training investment on large numbers of enlistees who will leave before completing their first term of enlistment is decreased. Although Navy officials generally agree that the program is successful and have taken steps recently to rectify certain implementation problems, they are not planning to increase its size. We do not believe the full potential of this program is being realized, and we recommend specific actions to make the program more effective. (967046) ($ 333 o
