Message from the Chief of Navy, Rear Admiral Jack Steer
Following feedback from the August gathering of the senior leadership, we have created a project team under Captain Fleet Personnel & Training who are focussed on re-enlistment. We need your help to highlight personnel who have left and who may be interested in returning to the Navy family.
We want to bring competent people back to ease the burden. We have gone through a period of significant change, but we are in a position to now focus on regeneration and growth. Recently released former sailors are people who can hit the ground running and provide us with the support and front-line experience we need.
Do you know anyone that we should be getting in contact with?
If you do, I would ask you give their names and contact details directly to our re-enlistment team, LT Chloe Stanton or LWTR Jo Stewart. You can reach them on reenlist@navy.mil.nz or +64 9 445 5999. Alternatively, you may know someone who you could forward this message to who you think may be interested in it.
We all maintain links with sailors who have left. Using these informal networks is the best way to spread the word that the Navy remains interested in them and that if the desire is there, we want to hear from them about returning to a unique and very special profession.
Blog Master’s Note – In addition, if you do not wish to have a full time back in the RNZN, you always have the option to join the Naval Reserve and commit as and when you are able.
