Marines to be discharged early under Nixon plan
Senate Armed Services heard that as part of Nixon’s 18 percent force cut many Marines will leave up to a year before their terms end. Commandant Chapman warned of unrest but said the move will raise corps quality by reducing reliance on drafts and tightening reenlistment standards. Navy Secretary Chaffee noted deeper trouble in retaining high quality personnel, with pilot retention falling from 60 to about 26 percent and reserve officer retention declining since 1963-64.
