From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Navy Recruiting Command (NRC or NAVCRUITCOM) is located in Millington, Tennessee. It aims to recruit both enlisted sailors and prospective commissioned officers for the United States Navy. NRC covers the entire United States with 26 Navy Talent Acquisition Groups commanded by two Navy Recruiting Regions; Regions East and West.[2] In 2018, accessions management and distribution functions of the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) were realigned under Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) and Navy Recruiting Command now serves as a subordinate command to NETC.
