Navy misses active duty, reserve recruiting goals for 2023<\/h3>\n

By Diana Stancy Correll<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Navy missed its recruitment goals for active duty enlisted sailors by more than 7,450 accessions in fiscal year 2023, according to Navy Recruiting Command.<\/p>\n

The Navy is one of the service branches that struggled with recruiting, which military leaders attribute to more thorough medical screenings, fewer Americans eligible to serve and low civilian unemployment.<\/p>\n

The Navy announced Tuesday it recruited 30,236 new active duty sailors in fiscal 2023, falling short of the 37,700 target number accessions for the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Officer and enlisted reserve recruiting goals also were unmet. Last fiscal year the Navy met its active duty enlisted recruitment goals by depleting its Delayed Entry Program pool.<\/p>\n

During her confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Service committee Admiral Franchetti cautioned the service expected to miss its target numbers by some 7,000 recruits, which she further stated is much improved over the original estimate of ~13,000. So there’s that.<\/p>\n

To turn the tide Big Navy has increased the maximum enlistment bonus and started initiative programs. These include The Future Sailor Preparatory Course to help potential recruits meet physical standards, and a pilot program that allows candidates who score between the 10th and 30th percentile on the Armed Forces Qualification Test to still join the Navy.<\/p>\n

Franchetti insists these do not mean standards are dropping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
