Navy Grants Overseas Credit For Discharges
The Navy formalized a point system change granting one quarter point per month of overseas service since September 1949 to discharge eligibility. Effective September 13, 1949, about 423,000 naval personnel will become eligible, adding to the 327,000 already eligible. In total, about 750,000 will be discharge eligible, with roughly 60 percent overseas or at sea. The plan aims to reduce peacetime strength toward the 300,000 target within a year. The Navy’s total manpower sits at about 3,359,000, including officers, WAVEs, and nurses. New critical scores for discharge include 65 for male enlisted, 49 for male officers, 29 for WAVES, and 35 for WAVE officers, with doctors fixed at 60 and nurses at 35. The Coast Guard also cut discharge requirements.
