Here's another thing. The average cost of recruiting someone is 11,000 dollars. They flew me to the processing station and at any point I could have said "No, nevermind." and wasted all that money. The average costs of somebody initial bare-bones basic training is 35,000 dollars for each recruit. The DoD watches attrition rates like a hawk. Then there's other training, like specialty schools or big career schools. Not everybody goes to them because they cost a lot of damn money and the DoD can't afford it. It kind of looks at military personal like investments. They have to take a risk when they invest a lot into somebody, because they can't know if they're the average joe or John Rambo.
