Chill out m7!!
The fact remains that by streaming once they are in the system as opposed to before it will put some people off, I don't know the stats for recruiting but suggest that if the AFCO'S are telling the truth and it's a big if as we all know they are economical with the truth! then I would think the risk of not getting what you want is enough to put people off all together.
Of course the cyninc in me believes that prospective NCA are told that they will almost certainly get what they want, and it will only be mentioned in passing that they might not! this isn't just true in the NCA world, afco's have been doing this forever to get people in the door.
How else would they get people to be stackers and policemen if they didn't embelish the truth somewhat?
