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 August.

This first graph depicts the number of applications that we have received each month this year. The month of August saw 12 new applications. This ties July as the third highest number of applications in a single month 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 August. The fleet saw seven graduates during the month of August, which again is an exact tie with July in the number of graduates This includes three applicants who applied during the month of July. We also had four applicants whose training did not conclude until the beginning of September.

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.
