Ninety-five U.S. Navy divers and ninety-three fleet controls, matched for age, rate, pay grade and the age at which they joined the Navy, were compared for several important biographical characteristics. The divers were found to be similar to controls in education, present marital status, educational level of parents, marital status of parents, number of brothers and sisters, number of moves made before joining the Navy, and size of hometown. The divers were significantly different from the fleet controls in running away from home, playing hookey, receiving traffic tickets and being arrested for non-traffic violations. These results show that divers rebelled early against the restrictions of formal social institutions, and were successful in directing this activity and aggression toward an occupation in which these characteristics may not only be useful, but necessary.
