They filled 5 slots when I was hired. Originally, it was going to be all/mostly ex-navy guys transferring from operations, but when push-came-to-shove, the ops guys all decided against it. They hired 4 slots externally and filled the other internally. That was back when unemployment rates were lower, so not sure what the results would be now. And no idea if that is representative of other plants and/or hiring cycles.
Good luck. :)
