pa,

One of the problems with the statistics is the classification. I am active duty and am stationed at a Joint Reserve Base. I know that the 10% figure used for Guard/Reserve FTE calculation is very low. When a Guardsman/Reservist has something happen that would bring them into one of these categories while training they are effectively transferred to the active component for the duration.

Notice how low the suicide numbers are? I might believe a total of 6,000 suicidal ideations but not 6,000 suicides.
