This dickdancing about numbers has been going on since they implemented SFOT/SFAS.
In 89 when our company was responsible for SFAS in/out processing I would step out on the company street on that Monday and have over 700 troops in the company. Only about 140 were "mine", the rest were SF candidates on their way to SFAS.
At 0600 the senior TAC would march them down to the PT field and turn them over to the SFAS committee. The out processing of the no goes began shortly after - and became a flood by the end of the week. The next two weeks were steady up to the last day.
The dickdancing began shortly after. Sure the selected folks were studs who could get along and most were squared away - but once in the Q the faults of the few came out. Since SWC had promised Big Army that SFAS would fix the attrition rate in the Q every termination was agonized over up at Bn level.
Group CSMs weren't stupid. A guy reporting in who spent 18 months in the Q and was an 18B - well, he had a number or recycles.
