If you really want to know, our class, as of the end of January 2001, was sitting at exactly 57.7% on active duty. (and based upon the previous months, is declining steadily) These stats came directly from the Institutional Research Office at WP, which is fed directly by PERSCOM. I'll post the February amd March stats when I get them. Expect the numbers to drop dramatically when the aviators end their ADSO around August 2002. (Currently, there are 139 of 141 AV pukes still in - second in retention % only to MC and SF)

Sincerely,
Jim Craig
Retention Boy

PS - Yes, I'm still in, only because I'm currently enjoying a 3-year vacation in Hawaii.
