The Navy surpassed its recruitment goals for the fiscal year that ended Monday, according to Military Times.

“The Navy is focused on thoughtfully increasing recruiting numbers while maintaining historically high retention rates,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said this week. “We are doing this by improving the efficiency of our recruiting enterprise and expanding the pool of applicants who can join our team.”

There were so many recruits coming in toward the end of the fiscal year that thousands of them haven’t yet made it to basic training.
