I went through recruit training in the summer of 2002 and we started off with 91 recruits and we ended up graduating with 69. We had 3 suicide attempts, a few PFT failures, a few Rifle range failures, a handful of people who were hurt (broke dicks!), a few people who became sick, and one integrity violater. I’m guessing we had a lot of recruits during this time period because most of these people had joined right after the terrorist attacks on 09/11/01, so naturally there were also a lot that didn’t make it as well.
I was in the Marines, but I went to boot in 98. The rate then I think was 60 percent for us, but they have made it much easier and more laxed since I think. I would expect to lose at least 30 percent in your first 2 weeks though.
