The Navy's recruitment process was studied by an anthropologist who visited recruiting centers in different cities. They found that only one out of five Hispanic potential recruits actually join the Navy, mainly due to not being academically prepared. Family ties also play a role, with some Hispanics feeling Navy careers clash with family values. A key issue arises when recruits choose their Navy career path, affecting Hispanic re-enlistment. Recommendations include using Hispanic recruiters to connect with families and having career consultants help recruits choose the best Navy job.
