POLICY & RESOURCES

Recruiting instructions

Locate the controlling reference. Keep training and interpretation separate from official policy.

What’s changed?

Start with the controlling source. Verify the applicable instruction, Program Authorization, changes, and effective date. A source-directory listing or working link does not establish current policy.

These manual listings require source verification. Confirm the current revision and applicable changes through NRC or your chain of command before relying on them.

When sources conflict

Guidance conflict detected — verify with controlling authority. Do not silently choose whichever answer is more convenient. Confirm applicability, effective dates, delegated authority, and any specific exception.

  1. Current federal law / regulation where applicable
  2. Current DoD guidance
  3. Current Department of the Navy policy
  4. Current COMNAVCRUITCOM instruction
  5. Current Program Authorization
  6. Current official policy memo / GENADMIN
  7. Current USMEPCOM regulation where applicable
  8. Current command guidance
  9. Training manuals
  10. Anchor AI interpretation
  11. Third-party resources

This is a source-review aid, not a rule that resolves every jurisdiction or program-specific conflict. Consult the controlling authority when applicability is uncertain.
