My DD who is a junior SWO has indicated that there seems to be an issue with retention of SWOs after the 5-year commitment and that there are big cash bonus incentives for SWOs to stay on and commit to Department Heads. Is this a new issue or has this always been the case? What is causing this? Based upon how our DD describes life on the ship, there does seem to be understaffing, and I'm not sure how much of this is COVID-related, but I suppose this could be typical. We were Army officers, so we have had a bit of a Navy learning curve.
