Navy recruit receives last service number in history
An 18 year old Navy recruit from Honolulu, Robert K. Kaanul, was issued the final traditional serial number B-91-19 47 marking the shift to Social Security numbers for all service members. Hawaii had been last to issue armed forces numbers due to its time zone, as about 11 million recruits have carried the old numbers since 2017, per Navy statements. In unrelated notes, about 124 workers cleaned oil from the San Francisco Bay spill connected to a Standard Oil tanker.
