Navy Extends High-Year Tenure Waiver For Enlisted Sailors With Critical Skills - USNI News

SSG Robert Mark Odom They did it for Me for a Year. As Long as We don't go back to when I first entered with No HYT. Kind of Ridiculous seeing Very Old SN, PO3 and PO2's Retiring.

So E3 to E5 sailors who have been in retained rank for whatever reason(s) are being allowed to stay on? Why not promote them so they can stay without the Navy jumping through hoops? I think this is short sighted of the Navy.
