Abstract:
This information collection is necessary to determine the eligibility and leadership potential of respondents applying to represent the United States Naval Academy as volunteer Blue and Gold Officers. Respondents accepted as Blue and Gold Officers work directly for the Candidate Guidance Officer at the USNA Office of Admissions guiding current and future U.S. Naval Academy candidates through the admissions process Prior military service, current and past military performance, and prior affiliation with the Naval Academy has been found to be an excellent predictor of success as a Blue and Gold Officer. Without this information, the ability for the United States Naval Academy to recruit qualified Blue and Gold Officers would be impacted and would negatively affect the Naval Academy’s ability to recruit qualified candidates.
