The Air Force and the national defense mission are the big losers
when talented individuals choose to separate early. Although
specific separation figures are not available, analysis of the
percentage of men and women by commissioned years of service in the
Air Force indicates that women separate prior to retirement more
frequently than men. The percentages of men and women remain steady
through eh first four years, the typical period of
post-commissioning commitment. By the fifth year, the number of
women drops two percent, and by the following year, the number of
women drops an additional four percent, with corresponding
increases in the percentage of men. The percentage of women
continues to decrease gradually through year twenty, the point of
retirement eligibility. Having determined that women separate from
the Air Force prior to retirement eligibility more often than men,
Lt. Col. Laura DiSilverio wanted to find out why. The only people
with the answers were the women who had separated, so the author
developed a survey to elicit the reasons for separating. The
results of this survey of 1,000 women appear in this paper. The
first chapter demonstrates why the Air Force needs women. It makes
the demographic case and presents research results showing the
value of diversity in general and the value of women leaders in
particular. The second chapter presents the survey results,
analyzes why women separate from the Air Force, and lists the types
of programs that might retain them. The final chapter looks at the
feasibility of implementing some programs that might help the Air
Force retain more of its talented members.
