Teager, the navy is facing a two issues at the same time, yes, recruiting and retention.
They're having difficulty in attracting new folks into the engineering trades. My old trade, HT, never had that problem we were always successful in attracting recruits and remusters. The Stokers, were not being able to bring in more than what was leaving, not even close.
That trend is continuing, even with the new trade.
Add onto that retention. The release rate for legacy HT remains about 3 times pre amalgamation rates. What they're losing is the experienced guys and a great deal of the juniors, tomorrow's leaders.
For those who have moved on in civilian life and are pensioned. To seriously think they might be attracted to take a huge pay cut and come into a new trade that has the thinnest of bread slices on that shit sandwich is laughable at best.
The number of releases for Chiefs this past week has been staggering. The bleeding continues.
