For how long are DEP audit results retained?

The duration for which DEP (Delayed Entry Program) audit results are retained is two years. This timeframe ensures that the Navy can maintain appropriate records of recruitment activities while also allowing for sufficient time to address any discrepancies or issues that may arise from the audits. Retaining records for this period supports compliance with regulations, facilitates audits and reviews, and contributes to the overall integrity of the recruitment process.

The choice of two years strikes a balance between having a manageable timeframe for data storage and the need to ensure adequate oversight and accountability in recruiting practices.
