Hey Tom
I don't know much about the military. He is in the
Army and it was not Rangers or any special forces. I do know that it was
some sort of pilot program in which they spent 12 days in the field as opposed
to the usual 5 (I believe those were the numbers
anyway).

Subject: Re: [internetworkers] Just for funMan those numbers sound weird. I've never heard of a basic training that fails over 50 percent of the class. What branch did he join and is he trying for something a little more selective like Rangers or SEALS?Tom

Another interpretation of that datum is that the military _is_ having
trouble recruiting _qualified_ volunteers, which supports the idea that
a skills-selective draft may be just what they would need.
