2/15/2011 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Fiscal 2011 recruitment and retention remained high throughout the services through January, with all active and reserve-component services meeting their recruiting goals, Pentagon officials announced Feb. 15.
The fiscal year began Oct. 1, 2010, and ends Sept. 30.
All four active-duty services met or exceeded their numerical recruitment goals through January. As of Feb. 1, the Air Force had 8,526 new recruits for fiscal 2011. The Navy had 9,651, the Army had 21,485, and 9,550 people had signed up for the Marine Corps.
The numbers reflect 100 percent of the recruitment goal for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, and 102 percent for the Army, officials said.
Each active-duty service also met or exceeded its fiscal retention goals through January, they added.
All six reserve components also met or exceeded their numerical recruitment goals through January. Here are the numbers of new recruits in fiscal 2011 for the reserve components:
-- 2,198 for the Air National Guard
-- 3,038 for the Air Force Reserve
-- 18,641 for the Army National Guard
-- 10,149 for the Army Reserve
-- 2,581 for the Navy Reserve
-- 3,672 for the Marine Corps Reserve
Those numbers reflect 100 percent of the goal for the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and Navy Reserve; 115 percent for the Marine Corps Reserve; 110 percent for the Army Reserve; and 105 percent for the Army National Guard.
All of the reserve components were considered to be within acceptable limits of attrition through January, officials said.
