Not really, they just released a report that stated the attrition rate of 18X during SFAS and SFQC. They're actually making it through the pipeline just as well, if not a little better, than those coming over with experience. They also reported that those succeeding tend to have some college under their belts, played team sports, are between the ages of 22 - 25, etc.
Now, as for whether or not it's what SF needs, well, SF is getting a lot of what it doesn't need lately and that's also coming from experienced guys, but that's another discussion altogether.

I was not speaking strictly pipelinewise but what the troopers has to offer once on an ODA.
Lifeexperience counts for alot in the problemsolving role.
The agelimit on 18X were raised to 20 for amongst other that exact reason.
That a study had been done on collage and teamsports were made were news to me but the feeling has always been that you get alot of social skills that way.
So while the study were new to me the results were far from earthshattering.
I have been looking at this for a while as the agediscussion has been raised frequently in our teamrooms.
How long were you on an ODA?
