The Navy has begun offering 6- to 12-month extensions to sailors planning to retire or leave the service, in an effort to ease the impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic and avoid having them enter a job market that is in free fall, service officials said.

"The Navy is accepting applications from officers and enlisted personnel who desire to delay their separation or retirement" in an effort "to mitigate the effects of COVID-19," the Navy said in a March 20 administrative notice signed by Vice Adm. John Nowell, the chief of personnel.
