Navy usually hits their recruiting goals. They missed by about 7,500 this year: Inside the Navy’s quest to fix its recruiting crisis (navytimes.com). The good news is that Navy's retention was better than expected: Amid recruiting crisis, the Navy surpassed retention goals for FY23 (navytimes.com)

Air Force missed their recruiting goals by about 10% (2,700 airmen), first miss in a quarter of a century. Entire Air Force to miss recruiting goal, the first failure since 1999 (airforcetimes.com)
