Sailors can apply through their detailers to participate in the Career Intermission Pilot Program, which offers quotas for 20 officers and 20 enlisted members annually through 2012. Spots remain available from calendar year 2009. While participating in the program, Sailors must maintain their security clearances and professional certifications, meet physical fitness requirements, and adhere to Navy policies regarding conduct.
