Funny headline, but less dramatic article, and explanation.

There’s currently no active sailors capable of taking over for the one retiring.

Using LinkedIn to reach RETIRED naval officers with the requisite qualifications to come back for a 2 year position.

Also, they already use LinkedIn for recruiting in similar situations, although this is the highest ranking officer role they’ve used LinkedIn for.

“Nuclear Rear-Admiral” was my nickname in high school.

There's not one single person they could promote for this?

Just curious I can’t imagine the list of people who are qualified is very long. Wouldn’t it have been better to just cold call them all and invite them to apply?
