Navy Extends Delayed Enlistment to 180 Days
The U S Navy widened the delayed enlistment program CACHE from 120 to 180 days says Chief Robert Baptiste, a local recruiter. The plan lets recruits enlist now and start active duty in six months, with a reserved spot, credit toward military obligation, and longevity pay eligibility while in service. It suits graduates choosing not to attend college, Baptiste notes, with details available at the YMCA on Wednesdays or Fridays 3 to 4 30 p m.
