Landing Craft Unit

 

            
             A Landing Craft Unit is a 135-foot United States Navy Ship. The job of the Landing Craft is to transport troops, and their equipment to the beach from larger Navy ships. The Landing Craft Unit that I work on is stationed outside the United States in Sasebo, Japan. The term that we use in the Navy for being stationed outside the United States, while serving on active duty in the Navy is known as forward deployed. There are ten other people including myself who work on the Landing Craft Unit. All the workers on the Landing Craft Unit are United States active duty Sailors. Several of the young men on the Landing Craft Unit are between 19 and 23 years of age, and had never left home (with the exception of basic training) until now. The question that I have for our organization is as follows: Does being stationed overseas away from home for the first time, affect the job performance of men between the ages of 19 and 23 years of age?.
             PRESENT A TESTABLE HYPOTHESIS DERIVED FROM THIS RESEARCH QUESTION.
             Being stationed overseas away from home for the first time, affects the job performance of men between the ages of 19 and 23 years of age.
             WHAT ARE TWO OF THE KEY VARIABLES THAT YOU PROPOSE TO USE?.
             a. Away from home for the first time. Independent variable.
             b. Job performance. Dependent variable.
             The independent variable for this study is away from home for the first time. .
             Many studies have been conducted concerning young people being away from home for the first time, and many of the problems that are associated with being away from home for the first time. Consequently, being away from home for the first time whether it is in another area of the United States, or another country is a new experience. Things you were accustomed to will most likely be different in your new environment. (Ferguson 5).
             When people leave home for the first time they are flooded with emotions. A common term that most of us are familiar with is culture shock.
