MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) celebrated making its recruiting goal in the “Big 5” enlisted mission areas for the 100th consecutive month Sept. 3 at the Naval Support Activity Mid-South Pat Thompson Center.
The “Big 5” enlisted mission areas include: Active Component New Contracts, Reserve Component New Contracts, Active Component Shipping to Recruit Training Command, Reserve Component Shipping to Recruit Training Command and Prior Service Reserve.
“Over the past 100 months, you’ve recruited 297,000 enlisted Sailors and 16,700 officers,” said Rear Adm. Annie B. Andrews, commander, Navy Recruiting Command. “You’ve filled squadrons, submarines and billets overseas. Because of you, our fleet is manned and ready to complete critical missions around the world.”
To celebrate this accomplishment, various personnel from NRC and the commanding officers of all Navy recruiting districts (NRD) gathered to take part in NRC’s traditional bell ringing ceremony, which was Andrews’ last bell ringing as commander, Navy Recruiting Command.
“Making mission for 100 straight months is no easy task but it’s a real testament to the commitment demonstrated by every Sailor on our team here at NRC,” said Rear Adm. Jeffrey W. Hughes, prospective commander, Navy Recruiting Command. “I could not be more proud of the opportunity to lead this team and join this incredible mission.”
Making the Navy's enlisted mission goals requires a coordinated effort between NRC, NRDs and their Navy recruiting stations (NRS) throughout the nation.
Recruiters at the NRS level work daily to find eligible men and women to enlist in the U.S. Navy, while NRD and NRC personnel provide the necessary support to the field in order to accomplish the mission.
“I want to thank every single member of my recruiting team for all of their dedication and support in reaching this milestone,” said Andrews. “Their commitment helps ensure that America’s Navy, our Navy, is ready now and in the future!”
NRC began the traditional bell ringing ceremony as an opportunity to recognize all of the hard work each recruiter does every month to bring the best and brightest to critical jobs in America’s Navy.
