Not terribly suspicious. Discussed at length last January:

Sincere apologies for the intrusion. Charli

Didn't mean to stifle all discussion, Charli. Sorry.

I just happened to remember the thread because it spooked me the first time I heard it too, so I did some research.

Keep intruding :-)

Thanks Lewis, Yeah, I first saw mention of it back in January too, on usenet. It was being treated as a martial law issue there.

My question would be: Does this appear to be a normal or larger than normal amount of positions to be filled at one time--in light of the fact that the Navy is short-handed as it is?
