Navy recruiting rebounds, but it will miss its target to get sailors through boot camp

The Navy will meet its goal to sign up 40,600 recruits by the end of September thanks to several new recruiting programs. But the crush of last-minute enlistments means the service won’t be able to get them all through boot camp by next month, falling 5,000 sailors short of its target. The gaps are hurting the Navy’s ability to fully staff its warships. Navy Vice Adm. Rick Cheeseman tells The Associated Press that the Navy has “not gotten to the point where we can’t do things." All of the military services have struggled in the past several years to attract recruits in a tight job market.

Pentagon chief says a six-month temporary budget bill will have devastating effects on the military

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says passage of a six-month temporary spending bill would have widespread and devastating effects on the department and the military. He wrote in a letter Sunday to key members of Congress that passing a continuing resolution that caps spending at 2024 levels, rather than taking action on the proposed 2025 budget will hurt thousands of defense programs, and damage military recruiting just as it is beginning to recover after the COVID-19 pandemic. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has teed up a vote this week on a bill that would keep the federal government funded for six more months.
