Quote:How recent is this metric? Are you talking officer training or enlisted training, or both?
Out of just under 100 of my classmates who went nuke power from the Naval Academy, about two dozen didn't make the cut. Of course, this was 20+ years ago. The Navy has been, for some years, attempting to improve their screening processes so that attrition rates from training are lower than what you cited.
Put a different way, what's your source?
As a point of reference, Navy flight training attrition (once one got through the screening gates) from all causes for about a 4 year period (2001-2005) from all causes ran in the 15-25 percent range. That included medical, performance, and quitting as inputs.

This was about 8 to 10 years ago. And this was for the school as a whole, both enlisted and officer. I did check in to it as well as the Navy kept sending me flyers to join right after I got my degree and from all sources within the Navy I was hearing what I quoted.
