GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. OUR 4TH QUARTER FIRST-TERM, POST-BOOT CAMP,
NON-EAS ATTRITION HAS INCREASED BY 2.6 PERCENT FROM THE 3RD QUARTER,
FY05, AND IS 14 PERCENT ABOVE 4TH QUARTER, FY04. A MAJORITY OF THE
INCREASE SINCE LAST QUARTER CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO A HIGHER NUMBER OF
DISCHARGES IN EVERY CATEGORY EXCEPT MISCONDUCT. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL
NUMBER OF DISHARGES HAS INCREASED SINCE LAST YEAR THIS DOES NOT
INDICATE THAT WE HAVE AN ATTRITION PROBLEM. THE NON-EAS LOSSES FOR
THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS BEEN THE LOWEST ON RECORD AND THIS HAS
OCCURRED EVEN THOUGH THE END STRENGTH HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED.
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE, OUR LOSSES ARE STILL MUCH LOWER
THAN THE YEARS PRIOR TO 2003.
