Retention. The Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps exhibited strong retention numbers for the third month of fiscal 2013. While the Navy exhibited strong retention numbers in the mid-career and career categories, the Navy’s achievement of 86 percent in the initial category is a result of the transition from a downsizing to a stabilizing posture.
