Prior to 2016, NCC Mike Harshbarger (now retired) had created PDF Kits for the purpose of making the recruiters job easier. Soon those kits had worked themselves around the country simply by word of mouth. The problem was some people were using out of date kits. They would call or he would get emails about updates. So, he started NavyCRF.com as a better resource site for all of Recruiting Personnel.
Now, Navy CRF is an official non-profit organization with 3 board members with NCC (Ret.) Mike Harshbarger as the President. Navy CRF, under its charter, cannot pay any member on the board nor other personnel who decide to work on the website or with the Organization. It is strictly a volunteer basis only. 100% of all proceeds goes to the function of the website or to Charity Organizations.
Being a CRF is tough. But that doesn’t mean your job can’t get easier and more efficient. This is a community driven by you, for you. Solutions we develop together. Do you have a better way of doing things? Does it save you time and effort? Bring it on.
Contact us, and we’ll add it to the website.
