Number of Respondents: 250.

Needs and Uses: This information requirement is needed to determine the eligibility and leadership potential of respondents applying to represent the United States Naval Academy (USNA) as volunteer Blue and Gold Officers. Prior military service, current and past military performance, and prior affiliation with the USNA has been found to be an excellent predictor of success as a Blue and Gold Officer. Without this information, the ability for the USNA to recruit qualified Blue and Gold Officers would be impacted and would negatively affect the Naval Academy's ability to recruit qualified candidates.
