Each month, the Academy staff compiles the statistics about our recruiting and training for the fleet’s informational purposes. Let’s take a look at how we did in May.

This first graph shows the number of applications we received each month this year. As you can see, the fleet received eight new applications in the month of May which is slight decrease from the previous month. This dip in makes May the month with the second smallest number of new applications so far this year.

The following chart shows how members found us, according to their application:

This final graph shows how many people graduated from the Academy during the month of May. While we only had eight new applications, we were able to welcome nine new ensigns into the fleet during May due to some applicants from April graduating in May. It is also worth noting that two of the applicants from May started their training during the month of June.

New recruits are the lifeblood of our community. When our application rate slows, it makes it hard to keep our ships fully crewed, not to mention impossible to grow. So if you’d like to help us recruit more members and grow our fleet, you can join the Publicity Team using this form.
