What is the purpose of a DEP audit?

The purpose of a DEP audit primarily revolves around conducting face-to-face meetings with future sailors. This process allows recruiters to ensure that enlisted individuals are fully informed about their commitment to the Navy and that they understand their roles, responsibilities, and the expectations of their service. It also provides an opportunity to address any issues that may have arisen since the initial enlistment, reaffirm the commitment of future sailors, and gauge their readiness and enthusiasm for service.

These meetings are key to maintaining clear communication and reinforcing the relationship between the recruits and the recruiting staff. They help in identifying any concerns or questions the recruits may have and allow for proactive measures to keep them engaged and motivated in their journey to joining the Navy. This supportive interaction is essential for minimizing drop-out rates and fostering a sense of community among future sailors.
