it is my understanding that the 6 month wait has been waived during this manning crisis but make sure to find a source on it.

Strange how since like 2000 there has always been talk of a manning "crisis", selection rate 30% there is a "crisis", selection rate 10% sill a "crisis", if there was truly a crisis you wouldn't see so many people getting turned away.

The issue is retention, not accessions.

Lets rephrase, the 2025 manning goals have made accessions a priority.

for those that have been on recruiting duty this is not news, it is just that they are making it known, realistically adding ships adds just a few new officers needed via OCS, for instance if a new CVN was dropped in our laps the number of JO nukes needed would equate to like 4 or 5 more through OCS when you take into account the fair share that NROTC and USNA gets.

This is probably a PR ploy knowing how the USN and NRC has done PR things in the past.

Are all the new pilot reports of UFO sightings scaring away sailors? I still haven't come across any alien questions on any of my screening questionnaires...

How cool would it be for the US government to confirm contact/relationships the same year we pieced together our first photo of a black hole?

absolutely, they opened up a highway for RC to AC. I guess you could call this recovery and accessions. But when you are talking about getting to the 355 yeah we don't have the man power for what we have.

Your point is extremely flawed.

First, the road to 355 is a long one. Ships aren't built overnight as are various commands needing to accommodate the growth. Last I checked, the number to 355 will be achieved somewhere around year 2035 and 2040.

The biggest point of them all... administrations change. Not only SECNAV or SECDEF, but the President itself. The Ronald Reagan area of military growth in the 80s completely reversed in the 90s with the Clinton administration. Ditto with the 2000s between the Bush and Obama eras. Without getting too political, I would say having the same administration policy stay that long between now and 20-30 years from now is just short of impossible. Offices change, and eventually there will be a new head of charge that will change the current policy.
