An analysis of the enlisted personnel | situation of the Navy made by Rear Admiral reau of Navigation, reveals the fact | that funds for the fiscal year 1929 wil' | provide for not tc | exceed an average | of 84,410 enlistec | men. Expiration: of enlistment dur- ing the 1929 fisca' | year will amount tc about 19.385 .anc | with 65 per cent re- | enlistments about 16,785 loss from this cause will have to be replaced. In addition, Aabout 9,170 is estimated as the number of losses from other causes to be ex- pected during the 1 vear. This gives a t Teplacements to be made during the year by first enlistments. Based on the 1929 allowances on June 30, 1928, there was a shortage of 2,718 petty officers and to remedy this deficiency will re- quire continued efforts afloat and ashore to train and rate petty officers. Re-en- listments and extensions average the 1928 fiscal year 68.5 per cent and it is anticipated that about 65 per cent will be the figure for 1920. Of the 60186 men that will be at s i | the coming year, about 10,000 will be | | of less than one year's service. In com- | | menting upon this situation, Admiral | Leigh said: | “Allowances are designed to meet the requirements of the operating force | plan of the chief of Naval Operations | | and the funds available for pay. The increase from §3.250 to 84.000 men and practically the same operating force plan_in 1929 &s has permitted the Bureau of Na 1 to increase by 750 men in the aggregate. those allow- ances where the demands have been the greatest. This still leaves the al- lowances 2.340 men short of the mini- | mum number which the bureau con- siders necessary for peace-time oper- ation.” Twenty-eight officers of the Na gan on July 2 the approximately months’ course of instruction at the | naval torpedo station, Newport, R.
