Ok, that is 249 out of 85,000 active duty service members recruited in '06 and 511 out of about 100K active in '07. The waivers percentage has to do with ANY type waiver for a soldier to come on active duty, not just felonies. Most of these waivers are for medical reasons. Having knee surgery as a child for example might result in the need for a waiver. I don't have my calculator on me but I think 511 out of 100,000 is around 0.51%

+1, I practically had to get waivers just for having a mean thought about someone (exaggeration) to join the Marines. I'm surprised it's not more like 99.9%. Must have some little angels in the Army  .
