Audries' data was accurate. But only for the second that the 'enter' button was pushed. So the LUS data is too high based on a late 2014 list.
How many of the remaining 903 guys come back? The company's estimating 100-150 but no one knows. It might be 20, it might be 700. So 10% is in the ballpark for the guesses that are out there.
For guys not hired, or currently not that competitive to get hired, the returning guys are on average 10-12 years older than OTS hires. So if you can't get hired this year you're hoping as many returnees as possible come back vs. hiring younger OTS guys ahead of you.
May 7th is the last day the have to announce their intentions to accept recall or quit. We'll know then. And how many say they'll come back but actually don't show for their training class? Zero? One? Ten? Fifty? So the number on May 7th but be slightly different than the actual number of guys that show for training.

Reason: added - So the LUS...
