Recruiting: US Numbers for February 2010

The DoD has released their Recruiting and Retention Numbers for February 2010

Active Component
Recruiting
Three of the four active services met or exceeded their accession goals for February 2010. The Marine Corps purposefully missed its monthly accession goal to ensure its end strength stays within authorized levels.

-Army - 6,537 accessions with a goal of 6,389; 102 percent
-Navy - 2,941 accessions with a goal of 2,941; 100 percent
-Marine Corps - 906 accessions with a goal of 919; 99 percent
-Air Force - 2,430 accessions with a goal of 2,430; 100 percent

Retention
The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps retained near or above mission goals through the first five months of fiscal 2010. The Air Force missed the retention benchmark of at least 95 percent for Zone A (first term airmen) but made the benchmarks for all other zones.

Reserve Component

Recruiting
All six reserve components met or exceeded their accession goals for February 2010.

-Army National Guard - 6,607 accessions with a goal of 4,625; 143 percent
-Army Reserve - 2,421 accessions with a goal of 2,292; 106 percent
-Navy Reserve - 454 accessions with a goal of 454; 100 percent

Losses in all reserve components are within acceptable limits.

That is important infomation. It is good to know that they have reached their goals in terms of accession. Sometimes people is needed for small things like Organizing a messy desk but in the army there is always have to be somebody to do what it is required. Recruiting is a very essential part of the process and it must be given full respect.
Good blog, keep it up!

I have no idea what organizing a messy desk has to do with anything related to recruiting, but you're welcome to stick around and continue contributing to the community as long as you leave the spam at home :)
