Totally agree. 92% is a great number. Being undermanned is where you always want.
You guys are good till your 10 year active duty point, then after that your screwed using today's data. But things will easily change by then. You have nothing to worry about. If you notice the senior levers are overmanned, so that means that some of those sailors will not make the Perform To Serve (PTS) board (ie they will have to cross rate or be kicked out). This sucks for them, but I will open positions up for you guys. The Navy is just "Thinning the Herd".
What is good is you look at the Zone levels and they are great for you newbies. You are doing good. Just to explain what Zone levels mean:
Zone:
A = 21 months to 6 years
B = 6 to 10 years
C= 10 to 14 years
D = 14 to 20 years
E = >20 years.
So look at the CTR sheet with the above link. You will see that a CTR with the NEC 9138 will get a multiplier of 2, if you are in Zone A. (ie Zone A means you have 21 months to 6 years of active duty). If you had that NEC, and you decide to reenlist at your 6 year 1 day point, you will get nothing since you now have fallen into Zone B.
