The Navy will likely miss its recruiting goals by 6,000 sailors for the current fiscal year, the vice chief of naval operations testified Wednesday.
The sea service is aiming to recruit 37,700 active-duty enlisted sailors for Fiscal Year 2023, a goal that VCNO Adm. Lisa Franchetti told the House Armed Services Committee the sea service will fall short of by 15.9 percent.
However, in Franchetti’s written testimony, the VCNO wrote that the Navy will likely miss its active-duty enlisted recruiting goal by 8,000 sailors. The sea service is also expected to fall short of meeting its reserve recruiting numbers by 3,300. Franchetti did not say in her oral or written testimony how the Navy would fare for active duty or reserve officers.
The difference between the recruiting numbers provided in Franchetti’s verbal and written testimony is due to the service’s recruitment increase from when she submitted her written statement and testified, Recruiting Command spokesperson Cmdr. Dave Benham told USNI News in a Thursday statement.
Recruiting numbers change as the year progresses and incentives are offered, Benham previously told USNI News. The recruiting command does not typically release recruiting numbers throughout the year because of the fluctuations.
CAT IV accessions for future Sailors with qualifying line scores, raising maximum enlistment age to 41, various waivers such as single parent, tattoos, and prior THC use, the just announced Future Sailor Prep Course, and other program changes coming soon.”
CAT IV refers to the Navy’s policy of accepting people who scored lower on their entrance test as long as they score well on the entrance vocational exam, USNI News previously reported.

We did that during Vietnam. It wasn't a happy time.
An old Green Beret friend sends this. Saying from Sudan, where he sometimes travels. Matter of time before these animals wear police and US military uniforms across America.

Get rid of the fags and trannys.
>> Hopefully this current disregard for minimum standards DOES NOT find it’s way into the Submarine Service.
I hope so too, for the SS and for ALL our military. We desperately need them all FIT!!!
I can’t claim to be confident in my hope though, considering the buffoons in charge.
Rough time rounding up village people fags
Boo hoo
You’d have to be an idiot to join up under Biden and his trans-woke Army. Let’s let Hunter take up the slack....oh, wait...
I’ve lost respect for our federal government. I, or mine, will not serve again.
“...considering the buffoons in charge.”
You might also consider that the education level has been so diluted in the schools in the country over the last 60 years that the available candidates may be even less qualified to learn the system than the buffoons in charge can teach it.
