It did that, in part, by dipping into its pool of delayed-entry applicants - a move that will also make this year's targets harder to meet. Last year, the service, like every other branch in the military, struggled and ended up making its enlisted recruiting goal by just eight Marines. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether the Corps will struggle to recruit the number of people it needs. James Glynn, the deputy commandant who oversees manpower and reserve affairs, told reporters that the service has met its yearly retention goals very early - that month. On the whole, the service says the policies are working. Other changes have included allowing Marines to reenlist earlier, to serve in one location longer or to take an intermission from service. In remaking the 35-year-old apparatus, Berger said his aim was to treat Marines "like human beings instead of inventory."Īs part of this effort, Berger also noted that the Corps, which historically let around 75% of first-tour Marines leave the service, would shift to a "retain and invest" model. David Berger, the Corps' top leader, announced he would be modernizing its human resources system.
This program is yet another in the several that the branch has announced since Gen. Eric Reid, a staffer in the Marines' manpower office, said in the press release that this new initiative will "enable us to better resource our fighting formations by promoting those corporals who demonstrated the maturity to perform as small unit leaders."
