“…General aspects of military aviation that have been studied included the component abilities required for flying (28), personality profiles of successful and unsuccessful aviators (29,30), general levels of anxiety in normal aircrews (31), physiologic and biochemical responses to the stress of flying (32)(33)(34) and psychopathologic reactions encountered during flight (35). Because this subject population differed significantly from the previously studied enlisted populations along several demographic dimensions, including age, length of service, officer rank, marital status and educational level, it was hypothesized that the civilian scoring system for the SRE would be more effective with The stressful features of combat aviation, which is one of the most complex and hazardous tasks required of naval officers, have been the subject of several previous investigations.…”

Patterns of illness occurrence were examined in naval aviators flying combat missions from an aircraft carrier during a 6-month deployment to Vietnam. Demographic and symptom questionnaires were administered at the beginning of the cruise, and the cruise activities, work assignments and the illnesses developed by the aviators during the cruise were tabulated.The mean illness rate varied with operational conditions and personnel characteristics. Higher illness rates occurred in younger age groups and among those more preoccupied with their health. The findings parallel those for several ships' enlisted crews, from whom the aviators differed along several demographic dimensions. The civilian scoring system for the Schedule of Recent Experience, measuring recent life change, was effective in discriminating future illness in this officer sample.
