Much has been said about the effect of the swine flu epidemic during BCT this past summer for the Class of 2013 and its effect on the fallout numbers (i.e. they would be lower).
I looked back at the numbers at this time in the Class of 2012 vs. the Class of 2013 by looking at the past USAFA Parent Newsletters as well as the number of cadets my cadet told me showed up in CAMIS yesterday.
Incoming cadets - Class of 2012: 1348; class size end of Feb. 2009: 1259
Incoming cadets - Class of 2013: 1368; class size on March 8, 2010: 1268
Seems about the same amount of attrition except for the Class of 2013 started out with 20 more cadets.
So.. there is your trivia for the day
