Well, ill tell you what it says, the what we did is we redid that the comparison between the services, controlling for a bunch of differences that exists between the personnel and their experiences in each service. So we controlled for the age of Service Members and their race, their marital status, their education, their afqtc scores, which is a test of skills that enlisted. How many dependents they have. With we had many factors then we had all these military experience factors that we controlled for, including pay grade, entry age and rank and things like that. And then we also controlled for things like the environment in which theyre working in the military. So the fact is like, the percentage of men in the unit and installation as as dr.
