Just a little aside, I attended a meeting where military vets in conjunction with some university types gave a presentation of a research program where they were trying to develop tests and identify marker genes that would make choosing individuals for these programs more efficient - reduce the washout percentage. You can imagine the costs savings in being able to choose individuals more likely to succeed.

Big savings!!

Many wash outs happen only after a great deal of time, training, and money is invested in the dog.
