Midshipmen sing during the Naval Academy graduation ceremony in Annapolis, Md., in May 2024. The Navy says it has already met its recruiting goal for 2025. File Photo by Bonnie Cash/UPI | License Photo June 19 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy is saying it has already met its recruiting goal for 2025 and did so earlier than expected. Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan said that he is "proud to announce that we have met our Fiscal Year 2025 recruiting goal three months ahead of schedule," in a post to X Wednesday evening. "A total of 40,600 future Sailors have stepped up to serve," he added, who will be sent to its Recruit Training Command by September. In an accompanying video, Phelan credited the efforts of naval recruiters, team innovation and "the courage of thousands of who stepped forward to serve" in regard to its having reached its enlistment target so quickly. The Navy further stated in a press release that it had also surpassed its 40,600 recruitments aim in 2024 by 378 people, and those 40,978 recruits were the most contracted since 2002. The Navy Recruiting Command's Rear Admiral Jim Waters said of the naval recruitment process in the release that "It shows that when we remove barriers, accelerate processes, and meet people where they are, the right individuals answer the call." He also noted that "Meeting the recruiting target is not the finish line," but instead a signal that "we're on the right course and ready to keep building the force of the future." The Navy has made moves in the recent past to help attract potential sailors, such as having raised its maximum enlistment age to 41 in 2022, and as of 2024 allows those without a high school diploma to join as long as they achieve a score a 50 or higher on the Armed Forces Qualification Test.

1000 Miglia Returns With Iconic Route, Expanded Programme
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- The 1000 Miglia is set to return from June 17 to 21, with 420 classic cars tackling a 1,900-kilometre (km) route across Italy in a five-day event that echoes the spirit of its epic pre-war editions. Departing from Viale Venezia in Brescia, this year's route forms a symbolic figure-eight, connecting the eastern Adriatic and western Tyrrhenian coasts while preserving the classic Brescia-Rome-Brescia path. Highlights include stopovers in San Lazzaro di Savena (Bologna), Rome, Cervia-Milano Marittima, and Parma, before the grand return to Brescia for a final parade in Piazza Vittoria, coinciding with Festa della Musica. Meanwhile, the passage through the Naval Academy in Livorno will seal the partnership with the Italian Navy, showing the collaboration and closeness that the Armed Forces and Police have always reserved for the 1000 Miglia. The 1000 Miglia 2025 convoy will be preceded by 123 Ferraris from the Tribute 1000 Miglia and 1000 Miglia Green electric cars, accompanied by the Politecnico di Milano's robo-driven cars reflecting on the introduction of autonomous driving for optimising urban transport. The pre-race programme started on June 15 with the inauguration of the 1000 Miglia Village in the historic setting of Piazza Vittoria featuring children from the 'La 1000 Miglia goes to school' project that decorate the car dedicated to the initiative, travelling behind the convoy. Furthermore, the 1000 Miglia Charity Car, with La Zebra Onlus, will raise public awareness of the purchase of a latest-generation ultrasound scanner to be donated to the Children's Hospital in Brescia. -- BERNAMA
