Fleet orientation and adjustment training (FLOAT) was developed to provide seaman apprentices (SAs) with realistic expectations about shipboard living and working conditions as well as the skills and knowledge to help them cope with the demands of the fleet environment. Shipboard and shorebased versions of the program were tested with 341 SAs who received 3 to 5 days of FLOAT immediately following completion of SA training. The shipboard version of FLOAT was not effective in reducing attrition. Shorebased FLOAT had a significant impact on attrition and was a highly cost-effective program. (Author)
