1. Figures are for AFC (Harrogate) Trainees only.
2. Information is as recorded by the Army Administration Systems.
3. Exit reasons have been supplied by Army Recruitment Initial Training Command (ARITC). Exit reasons are based on the Queens Regulation paragraphs under which they have been discharged.
4. Figures have been rounded to 10 for presentational purposes; numbers ending in "5" have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
5. Totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not appear to be the sum of their parts.
6. Recruits under the age of 18 may change their minds about joining the army after applying and are free to do so. (Recruits must serve 28 days before they are able to exercise this right).
