the FI-ad was published July/August 2008.....
The last military course started very early 2008.
And seeing how "quick" organizations like the DFS and Bundeswehr are, the actual planning of that course was done even much earlier than that.
70% fail in the DFS-academy, min. 10% more in OJT - hard to get s.o. to pull out the uniform. and those who left have to "problems" stated above......
I'm really not sure where you get your information from.
At the Academy it has been less than a quarter for the last three military courses (that covers three years).
OJT is a different matter (the number is actually higher than 10%), but that's similar for civilian trainees.
