Push to Increase Navy Retention
There’s a big push to grow the Navy. This is one of the reasons you can no longer get out early.
Another way to grow the Navy is to increase retention, and the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) has directed people to do just that…increase retention. The focus is on command sponsorship, command indoctrination, career development boards, mentorship, ombudsman programs, and Sailor performance recognition.
