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

This first graph depicts the number of applications that we have received each month this year. The month of May saw six new applications, tying March for the third highest number so far this year.

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

This final graph shows how many people graduated from the Academy during the month of May. The fleet saw four new applications in May. This number includes one graduate who applied at the end of April. We also had three applicants, representing half of our new applicants, who started training during the month of May, but that training did not conclude until the beginning of June.

These new recruits are the lifeblood of our community. Without them, it becomes difficult to keep our ships fully crewed and even more difficult to grow the fleet. If you’d like to help us recruit more members and grow our fleet, you can join the Publicity Team using this form.
