The intent of this research was to gather sufficient data to determine the relationship between personal background and the Civil Engineering Officer's satisfaction with the Air Force way of life. A total of 809 Civil Engineering officers were surveyed to gather demographic and personal background information and to assess their level of satisfaction with the Air Force.
