Once the DLCPO is notified that a future sailor doesn't want to ship, how long do they have to contact the future sailor?

The correct duration for contacting a future sailor after the DLCPO is notified that they do not want to ship is 48 hours. This timeframe is crucial for maintaining effective communication and addressing any concerns the future sailor may have. The prompt follow-up allows the DLCPO or recruiter to discuss the reasons behind the sailor's hesitation and possibly provide guidance or solutions to encourage the sailor to continue with their enlistment process.

This timeframe is part of the Navy's commitment to personal engagement with future sailors, ensuring that they feel supported and informed throughout their transition into military service. By reaching out promptly, the DLCPO can potentially alleviate misunderstandings or anxieties that may have arisen, reinforcing the importance of responsiveness in recruitment practices.
