All,
Before you re-enlist your Sailors make sure they fully understand what re-enlisting really means. Talking to some of your Sailors, I realize that they do not have a single clue what re-enlisting means for them and their family. There is nothing in the Oath of Enlistment that says anything about schools, attending to college, shore duty, buying a house, spouse collocation, dream orders, incentives, no more deployments, etc..... They have no idea that re-enlisting also means that they are worldwide deployable and that OPHOLD Program also applies to them. As a re-enlisting officer, you must take the time to interview your re-enlistee way before you actually administer the Oath of Enlistment. You must explain what is expected of them
