Pretty good, compared to a few generations ago.
Averaged across the services, however young men being what they are are drawn to certain fields, usually before they join. A young man with a desire to join a combat arms unit of the Marine Corps is at greater risk than someone who is assigned to be a Missileer in a silo in Nebraska.

The thread might be better titled would you rather send your child to war with a screw driver or a rifle.
