What are the requirements for participating in the HARP program?

Participation in the HARP (Higher Achievement Recruiting Program) is specifically designed for high school graduates. This program focuses on recruiting individuals who have completed their secondary education, as they need to demonstrate a level of academic achievement and readiness for the challenges of Navy training and service. Being a high school graduate ensures that candidates have acquired fundamental knowledge and skills that are critical for effective training in the Navy.

While being a current Navy serviceman, having college experience, or being over 21 years old may present other opportunities or considerations within the Navy, none of these aspects are specified requirements for the HARP program. The emphasis on high school graduation reflects the Navy's commitment to attracting capable candidates who have the foundational educational background to succeed in their roles.
