SF attrition is a tricky business.
18Xs who are dropped or injured at Basic, AIT, Airborne? What if they continue with another class after treatment?
What if the SFAS class is all 18Xs?
Do you count a guy who is a recycle from a numbered phase or who graduates with the next class? With a class two years later?
How do you count medics, who will be over a year completing training?
What about the guy who starts in one SF MOS and rolls over into another?
Lots of issues here, seen a bunch of them.
Best way to use stats is to track graduates over years for trending.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
